PROJECT ABSTRACT Environmental Health: Transformative Research Undergraduate Experiences (E-H-TRUE) research education program at the University of Arizona (UA) seeks to recruit, educate and retain 5 undergraduate students every year who are underrepresented in environmental health sciences over five-year period. UA has a long record of accomplishment to train and retain under-representative students: more than 40% new freshman students from under-representative groups, raking #1 in PhDs earned by Naïve American students and #8 in the number of PhDs earned by Hispanic/Latino students. UA has received status as an American Indian/Alaska Native and a Hispanic Serving Institution. In E-H-TRUE, we bring together two preeminent programs: the UA Center for Toxicology and the UA Undergraduate Research Program (UBRP) to provide the top-notch research training in environmental health sciences. On the research side, the UA Center for Toxicology, one of leading toxicology research and training centers in the world, is home to the NIEHS-funded Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) and the UA Superfund Research Program. On the undergraduate education side, UBRP has served as a model for high-quality undergraduate research training for more than 30 years. Through established networks by UBRP, we will initiate early contact with freshman/sophomore undergraduates to identify talented undergraduate candidates from under-representative groups who are interested in environmental health science research. The well-designed educational component of E-H-TRUE will include a specifically designed course work in environmental health sciences to expose students to toxicology, immunology, epidemiology and government regulation. Program participants will receive hand-on training in research laboratories. Students will work with their mentors and laboratory collaborators to learn how to review literature, generate hypothesis, design step-by-step experimentation to test hypothesis, document results, and deliver presentable data by due dates. The program will emphasize collaboration and near- peer mentoring by capitalizing on the recently renewed NIEHS T32 training program (continuously funded for 40 years). The E-H-TRUE program will also facilitate community outreach activities in environmental health science through the established outreach core in SWEHSC. Finally, we have implemented a rigorous evaluation plan to measure the success and impact of the program. The main goal of the program is to provide students with research experiences and encourage them pursuing Ph.D. or professional degrees to be active in environmental science research.

项目摘要 环境健康：变革性研究本科经验（E-H-True）研究 亚利桑那大学（UA）的教育计划旨在招募，教育和保留5个本科 每年在五年内对环境健康科学的人数不足的学生。 UA 培训和保留代表性不足的学生有很长的成就记录：超过40％的新学生 来自代表性不足的团体的新生学生，在天真的美国 学生和西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生赢得的博士学位中的第8名。 UA已获得身份 美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加本地人和西班牙裔服务机构。在E-H-True中，我们将两个 杰出计划：UA毒理学中心和UA本科研究计划（UBRP） 为环境健康科学提供顶级研究培训。在研究方面，UA 毒理学中心是世界上领先的毒理学研究和培训中心之一，是该中心 NIEHS资助的西南环境健康科学中心（SWEHSC）和UA超级基金 研究计划。在本科教育方面，UBRP一直是高质量的典范 本科研究培训超过30年。通过UBRP建立的网络，我们将 与新生/大二的本科生提前接触，以识别才华横溢的本科生 对环境健康科学感兴趣的代表性不足的群体的候选人 研究。 E-H-True的精心设计的教育组成部分将包括一个专门设计的 环境健康科学的课程工作使学生接触毒理学，免疫学， 流行病学和政府监管。计划参与者将接受研究的手段培训 实验室。学生将与他们的导师和实验室合作者一起学习如何审查 文献，产生假设，逐步设计以检验假设，文档 结果和可交付的数据到截止日期。该计划将强调协作和接近 - 通过利用最近更新的NIEHS T32培训计划（不断资助 40年）。 E-H-True计划还将促进环境健康的社区外展活动 科学通过SWEHSC既定的外展核心。最后，我们已经实施了 严格的评估计划，以衡量计划的成功和影响。该程序的主要目标是 为学生提供研究经验并鼓励他们攻读博士学位。或专业学位 活跃于环境科学研究。
