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.

项目概要 增刊 (PA-21-071) 的目的是促进健康相关研究的多样性， 增强环境健康科学劳动力的多样性——引进来自 尚未获得赠款资助的代表性不足的群体。瑞奇·库瓦奇 (Ricki Kuvach) 将成为新任 正在进行的 NIEHS 项目 (R01 ES032692-01)“增强生物修复 地下水被氯化挥发性有机化合物 (CVOC) 和 1,4- 共同污染 使用新型大环材料的二恶烷”。 Ricki 是一位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 年秋季开始在德克萨斯理工大学攻读硕士学位。 拟议的研究计划是母项目的合理延伸，Ricki 将致力于 使用选择性吸附剂-高级氧化工艺（AOP）组合来增强 针对两种常见共污染物（1,4-二恶烷和氯化物）的地下水修复 挥发性有机化合物）在沉月晓博士和巴拉吉饶博士的监督下。这 项目将扩展新材料的应用。她的目标是选择最有效的 吸附剂-AOP 组合并研究干扰条件。瑞奇会利用她 她从环境课程中获得的知识可以解决环境领域的实际问题。瑞奇 有机会在全国会议上展示她的作品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、培养实验技能、 并进行独立研究。整个培训计划将为她提供一个平台 未来成为一名独立的环境健康科学家和工程师。
