The proposed Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Toxicology (SURE Tox) program at the University of Illinois will provide high quality research experiences for under-represented minority undergraduate students during the summer academic break. The SURE Tox program will have its own identity, but it will also complement existing funded programs for undergraduate and medical students at the University of Illinois such as the Environmental Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program, the Summer Research Opportunities Program, the Toxicology Scholars Program, and the Summer Research Program for Veterinary Medical Students. The program will involve active participation by faculty members from several departments and colleges at the University of Illinois, all of whom have expertise in environmental health/toxicology and experience training undergraduate students. The proposed training program will enroll 7 junior and senior undergraduate students who will spend 10 weeks over the summer in the program. The specific goals of the program are to: 1) match participants with faculty mentors who will direct the student to complete a hypothesis-driven project in the field of environmental health/toxicology, 2) help each student learn laboratory techniques and research skills, 3) provide didactic training on animal use in research, the responsible conduct of research, and use of the electronic library, 4) train students to prepare scientific talks and posters and to present their work at scientific meetings, 5) provide networking opportunities for students to meet other students and faculty members in research, 6) provide students with information on academic vs. industry careers in toxicology, and 7) provide each participant the opportunity to participate in GRE Institute workshops to prepare for the Graduate Record Exam. At the conclusion of the program, the students will present their work at the Illinois Summer Research Symposium held on campus. This training program will provide a unique opportunity for undergraduate students, specifically minority students, to obtain training and research experience in the field of environmental health/ toxicology at a research intensive university with outstanding toxicology programs.

拟议的夏季本科生毒理学研究经验（SURE Tox）计划在 伊利诺伊大学将为代表性不足的少数民族提供高质量的研究经验 本科生在暑假期间。SURE Tox计划将有自己的 身份，但它也将补充现有的资助计划，为本科生和医科学生在 伊利诺伊大学，如环境跨学科毒理学计划，夏季研究 机会计划，毒理学学者计划和兽医夏季研究计划 医学生。该计划将涉及来自几个部门的教职员工的积极参与 和伊利诺伊大学的学院，他们都有环境健康/毒理学方面的专业知识， 培养本科生的经验。 本次培训计划共招收大三、大四学生7名，为期10周， 在这个夏天的节目中。该计划的具体目标是：1）将参与者与教师相匹配 指导学生完成环境领域假设驱动项目的导师 健康/毒理学，2）帮助每个学生学习实验室技术和研究技能，3）提供教学 关于在研究中使用动物的培训，负责任的研究行为，以及电子图书馆的使用，4） 培训学生准备科学讲座和海报，并在科学会议上介绍他们的工作，5）提供 为学生提供网络机会，以满足其他学生和教职员工的研究，6）提供 学生提供毒理学学术与工业职业的信息，以及7）为每位参与者提供 有机会参加GRE学院的研讨会，为研究生入学考试做准备。在 课程结束后，学生将在伊利诺伊州夏季研究研讨会上展示他们的工作 在校园里举行。这项培训计划将为本科生提供一个独特的机会， 特别是少数民族学生，以获得环境卫生领域的培训和研究经验; 毒理学在一个研究密集型大学与杰出的毒理学计划。
