Transdisciplinary Training at the Intersection of Environmental Health Science and Social Science (EH+SS)

项目摘要：跨学科培训在环境的交叉点 健康社会科学 这第一个T32的目标，5年的成功更新“跨学科培训在 环境健康与社会科学交叉”是准备10名博士生， 8名博士后（3名环境卫生和3名社会科学）成为社会科学的未来领导者- 环境卫生科学合作。这一总体目标包括以下目标： 1)教育学员在一个新的研究轨迹，结合环境健康和社会 2）向受训者传授以社区为基础的参与性研究（CBPR）， 环境正义、非正式科学教育和公众参与研究; 3）培训 研究人员将CBPR实践融入现有和新兴的研究计划; 4） 在以科学为基础的CBO中提供实践培训，向受训者展示它是如何做到的 研究并与关于新出现的污染物和技术的宣传工作相互配合。这 培训计划是独一无二的，因为它是由一个学术机构共同指导-东北 大学的社会科学环境卫生研究所和一个非学术 机构-寂静的春天研究所，一个基于科学/社区的参与性研究 环保非营利组织。它建立在15年的合作研究基础上， 双方的培训活动。培训生有能力改善环境 保健，特别是在得不到充分服务的人口中，通过： 为受训人员举办的专门研讨会系列，与使用新工具的社区组织接触， 接触和剂量估计，参与性研究方法， 参与性研究和公民科学，一种总体环境正义方法， 反身性研究伦理学员将成为这两个机构研究团队的一部分，包括 报告生物监测和个人接触结果的程序和道德 参与者;数据共享和隐私保护;暴露、补救、健康影响，以及 全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质的监管和政策问题， 科德角饮用水中的污染物、水的获取和公平; 乳腺癌研究的生物标志物;低成本社区的开发和应用 传感器.学员还将学习如何与新闻媒体合作。博士生预科生将在 资助年限为3年，博士后研究生资助年限为2年。

Project Abstract: Transdisciplinary Training at the Intersection of Environmental Health and Social Science The goal of this first T32, 5-year renewal of the successful “Transdisciplinary Training at the Intersection of Environmental Health and Social Science” is to prepare 10 doctoral students and 8 postdocs (3 environmental health and 3 social science) to be future leaders in social science- environmental health science collaborations. This overall goal has the following objectives: 1) Educate trainees in a new research trajectory that combines environmental health and social science; 2) Teach trainees about community-based participatory research (CBPR), environmental justice, informal science education, and public participation in research; 3) Train researchers to integrate CBPR practices into existing and emerging research programs; 4) Provide hands-on training at a science-based CBO to demonstrate to trainees how it does research and interfaces with advocacy on emerging contaminants and technologies. This training program is unique in that is co-directed by an academic institution - Northeastern University's Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute and a non-academic institution - Silent Spring Institute, a science-based/community-based participatory research environmental non-profit organization. It builds upon 15 years of collaborative research and training activities between the two partners. Trainees are equipped to improve environmental health, particularly among underserved populations, through: core and elective coursework, two dedicated seminar series for trainees, engagement with CBOs that use novel tools for robust exposure and dose estimates, participatory research methods such as community-based participatory research and civic science, an overarching environmental justice approach, and reflexive research ethics. Trainees will be part of research teams at both institutions, including processes and ethics of reporting back biomonitoring and personal exposure results to participants; data sharing and privacy protection; exposure, remediation, health effects, and regulatory and policy issues of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, modeling of emerging contaminants in Cape Cod drinking water, water access and equity; development of exposure biomarkers for breast cancer studies; and development and application of low-cost community sensors. Trainees will also learn how to work with the news media. Pre-doctoral trainees will be funded for 3 years each, and the postdoctoral trainees will be funded for 2 years each.
