Addressing Tetrachloroethylene Exposure in an Impacted Community

项目摘要 这一行政补充申请将资助一名高中生的暑期研究实习， 接受环境健康科学方面的培训，并参与社区参与的“从研究到行动”活动 由NIEHS资助的项目。为实习计划提出的活动直接致力于研究 母公司R 01赠款的目标，包括环境健康科学（EHS）培训计划 专为高中生量身定制的“独立”项目，学生可以从头到尾看到 夏天这种设计很重要，因为它会让学生对他们的项目有一种主人翁感， 让他们了解社区参与EHS调查的基本概念。因此 这一要求的目的是鼓励有前途的学生追求未来的教育和研究机会。 学生将首先学习环境健康科学及相关的基本原理和概念。 第一，在暑假期间，学生可申请家长资助，参与学科及研究活动;第二， 公民科学的工具，在他们的社区，这是研究网站的家长赠款，收集有关环境 收集数据，并制定关于数据收集和翻译共享的协议。这些活动将使 通过加快发展的步伐，为实现父母补助金的目标作出直接和重大的贡献。 公民科学组成部分，并在2010年早期启动公民科学工具的测试和实地部署。 父项目的第二年。拟议的实习计划将作为主要的参与之一， 活动，以推动家长补助金的努力，建立与当地高中和桥梁的合作 通过公民科学促进社区参与和发展高中的努力 环境健康科学计划。这一实习机会将使学生投入全职 努力（40小时/周），为期八周，用于学习和开展研究活动， 学生的EHS素养和从事EHS研究的热情。学生应该讨论 项目结果作为口头或海报介绍在他们的学校，研究小组会议（包括社区 合作伙伴）以及科学会议上。

Project Summary This administrative supplement request will fund a summer research internship for one high school student to receive training in environmental health science and participate in a community-engaged Research to Action project funded by the NIEHS. The activities proposed for the internship program directly work towards research objectives of the parent R01 grant and comprise an environmental health science (EHS) training program tailored to high school students and a “self-contained” project that the student can see from start to finish over the summer. This design is important as it will allow the student to have a sense of ownership of their project, allowing them to understand the basic concepts underlying a community engaged EHS investigation. Thus, the goal of this request is to encourage a promising student to pursue future education and research opportunities. The student will first, learn basic principles and concepts in environmental health science and related disciplines and participate in research activities of the parent grant in the summer; and second, pilot use of a citizen science tool in their community, which is the study site of the parent grant, collect related environmental sampling data, and develop protocols on data collection and translational sharing. These activities will make a direct and significant contribution to the objectives of the parent grant, by quickening the pace of developing the citizen science component and initiating the testing and field deployment of the citizen science tool early in year 2 of the parent project. The proposed internship program will serve as one of the major engagement activities to advance the parent grant’s efforts in building a collaboration with the local high school and bridge the efforts promoting community engagement through citizen science and developing a high school environmental health science program. This internship opportunity will enable the student to devote full-time effort (40 hours/week) for eight weeks towards learning and conducting research activities, fostering the student’s EHS literacy and a passion for engaging in EHS research. The student is expected to discuss the project results as an oral or poster presentation at their school, a research team meeting (including community partners), and at a scientific conference.
