Project Summary The purpose of the supplement (PA-21-071) is to promote diversity in health-related research, enhance diversity of the environmental health sciences workforce–bring in someone from underrepresented group who is not already funded on the grant. Ricki Kuvach will be the new trainee in the on-going NIEHS project (R01 ES032692-01) ‘Enhancing bioremediation of groundwater co-contaminated by chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) and 1,4- dioxane using novel macrocyclic materials’. Ricki is an African American Latina female undergraduate student currently enrolled in the environmental engineering program at Texas Tech. She will graduate this summer and start her master program at Texas Tech in the fall of 2022. In the proposed research plan, which is a reasonable extension of the parent project, Ricki will work on using selective sorbent-advanced oxidation process (AOP) combination to enhance groundwater remediation in terms of two common co-contaminants (1,4-dioxane and chlorinated volatile organic compounds) under the supervision of Dr. Yuexiao Shen and Dr. Balaji Rao. The project will extend the applications of novel materials. Her goal is to select the most effective sorbent-AOP combinations and investigate the interference conditions. Ricki will utilize her knowledge from her environmental classes to solve real problems in environmental fields. Ricki has the opportunity to present her work in national conferences and learn how to write and publish a research article. Through this project, Ricki will learn critical thinking, develop experimental skills, and conduct independent research. The entire training program will provide a platform for her towards an independent environmental health scientist and engineer in the future.

项目摘要 补充材料（PA-21-071）的目的是促进健康相关研究的多样性， 加强环境健康科学工作队伍的多样性-从 代表性不足的群体，他们还没有得到赠款的资助。里基·库瓦奇将是新的 正在进行的NIEHS项目（R 01 ES 032692 -01）“加强生物修复”的培训生 受氯化挥发性有机化合物（CVOCs）和1，4- 使用新的大环材料的二氧六环的方法。Ricki是一名非裔美国拉丁裔女性 目前就读于德克萨斯理工大学环境工程专业的本科生。 她将于今年夏天毕业，并于2022年秋季在德克萨斯理工大学开始她的硕士课程。在 拟议的研究计划，这是一个合理的扩展父项目，里基将工作 采用选择性吸附-高级氧化工艺（AOP）组合， 地下水修复方面的两个常见的共同污染物（1，4-二氧六环和氯化 挥发性有机化合物），并在Yuexiao Shen博士和Balaji Rao博士的监督下。的 该项目将扩大新材料的应用。她的目标是选出最有效的 sorbest-AOP组合，并考察干扰条件。里基会利用她 从她的环境类知识，以解决环境领域的真实的问题。Ricki 有机会在全国性会议上介绍她的工作，并学习如何写作和出版 一篇研究文章通过这个项目，Ricki将学习批判性思维，发展实验技能， 进行独立研究。整个培训项目将为她提供一个平台 未来将成为独立的环境健康科学家和工程师。
