项目摘要

We are applying to continue a successful interdisciplinary pre-doctoral training program focused on Environmental Epidemiology in Community Settings (EECS program) within the Department of Environmental Health at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH). The EECS program consists of a specific training regimen that is located within a mature doctoral program and designed to prepare pre-doctoral students to use the most sophisticated methods available to advance the state of knowledge and develop new methods in community-oriented environmental epidemiology. Our program has an intellectual commitment to interdisciplinary work, built on a robust collaborative research program within BUSPH and with outside research partners and designed to provide research training that is interdisciplinary in spirit, substance and outcome. We will recruit four pre-doctoral trainees each year for a steady state census of twelve trainees and build on a demonstrated record of recruiting trainees from underrepresented groups. EECS trainees typically receive support from the training grant during the first three years and then transition to external research grants awarded either to the trainee (e.g., NIH F awards, EPA STAR fellowships) or to faculty advisors (e.g., NIH R01 awards). An advisor is assigned upon entering the program to assist with selecting courses, identifying research rotations, and developing dissertation plans. A core curriculum provides training in environmental health, epidemiology, biostatistics, community-engaged research methods, toxicology, and physiology. Clusters of advanced courses are tailored to areas of ongoing research such as epidemiologic methods, exposure science, and environmental health disparities. Trainees engage in three research rotations on active projects during their first year, which facilitates integration into the program and refinement of research interests. Additionally, the program provides regular opportunities for oral presentation, teaching, grant proposal writing, and research translation, including a required "lay summary" of their research findings to relevant community stakeholders. With the support of a new grant writing workshop, trainees prepare a dissertation proposal in the form of a fellowship grant to be submitted to a funding agency (e.g., NIEHS) by the end of their fifth semester, before qualifying exams. Upon passing their exams, trainees establish a dissertation committee and engage in full-time research activities. Key enrichment activities include a weekly departmental research seminar, a biweekly proseminar, a monthly journal club, an annual research retreat, and explicit instruction in the responsible conduct of research and enhancing reproducibility. The Training Program Steering Committee (TPSC) reviews the progress of each trainee with respect to program milestones via course grades and progress reports. The EECS program is evaluated via feedback from trainees at the end of each semester, critical examination of successes and failures by the TPSC, reviews conducted by partnering community organizations, and monitoring of graduates to track career paths and productivity.

我们正在申请继续成功的跨学科博士前培训计划，重点关注环境部社区环境流行病学（EECS 计划）波士顿大学公共卫生学院 (BUSPH) 的健康。 EECS 计划包括一个特定的成熟的博士课程中的培训方案，旨在为博士前做好准备学生使用最先进的方法来提高知识水平并开发新的以社区为导向的环境流行病学方法。我们的计划有一个智力承诺跨学科工作，建立在 BUSPH 内部和外部强大的合作研究项目的基础上研究合作伙伴，旨在提供精神、实质和跨学科的研究培训结果。我们每年将招募四名博士前实习生，以进行十二名实习生的稳态人口普查，建立在从代表性不足的群体招募学员的良好记录的基础上。 EECS 学员通常在前三年获得培训补助金的支持，然后过渡到外部研究授予实习生（例如 NIH F 奖、EPA STAR 奖学金）或教职顾问（例如， NIH R01 奖）。进入该计划后会指派一名顾问协助选择课程，确定研究轮换并制定论文计划。核心课程提供以下方面的培训：环境健康、流行病学、生物统计学、社区参与的研究方法、毒理学和生理。高级课程群是针对流行病学等正在进行的研究领域量身定制的方法、暴露科学和环境健康差异。学员进行三轮研究轮转在第一年的活跃项目上，这有助于融入计划和完善研究兴趣。此外，该计划还定期提供口头演讲、教学、资助提案撰写和研究翻译，包括所需的研究结果“简明摘要” 相关社区利益相关者。在新的资助写作研讨会的支持下，学员准备了一份以奖学金形式提交给资助机构（例如 NIEHS）的论文提案第五学期结束，资格考试之前。通过考试后，学员将撰写论文委员会并从事全职研究活动。主要的丰富活动包括每周一次的部门活动研究研讨会、每两周一次的研讨会、每月期刊俱乐部、年度研究静修会和明确的指导负责任地进行研究并提高可重复性。培训计划指导委员会 (TPSC) 通过以下方式审查每位学员在计划里程碑方面的进展情况课程成绩和进度报告。 EECS 计划通过学员在培训结束时的反馈进行评估每个学期，TPSC 对成功和失败进行严格审查，由合作伙伴进行审查社区组织，以及对毕业生进行监控以跟踪职业道路和生产力。
