UofL Environmental Health Sciences Training Program

 描述(由申请人提供) 调查人员对他们的环境健康科学培训计划进行了战略性改变，以回应宣布的NIEHS培训计划的重组和重新定向。参与的中心、研究所和学校以及培训教员为尖端基础科学、临床研究、计算科学和公共卫生提供重要资源。环境健康科学伙伴关系促成了一个非常成功的NIEHS环境健康科学培训计划。续订申请合并并整合了多个学校、中心和研究所。研究人员提出了一个显著改进的博士前和博士后培训计划，作为环境健康科学跨学科和综合方法的保护伞。该培训计划将支持6名博士后和3名博士后实习生。最初的学生招生和博士前实习生的资助由路易斯维尔大学生物医学科学招生门户的综合项目提供。与第一个周期一样，博士前实习生不会被直接招募到环境健康科学培训计划中。所有教师导师都被要求提名完成了一份已批准的毕业论文提案，并明确了环境健康科学研究重点的受训者。教师导师将被要求提名现有的博士后研究员(例如，那些已经进入临床化学和毒理学转化科学计划的博士后研究员)或从将被招募的实习生中提名。将特别鼓励导师团队(基础和临床科学家或基础和以人群为基础的科学家)强调多学科培训的重要性，并将基础科学成果转化为患者和/或社区。该培训计划促进了有效干预的多学科方法，并与NIH路线图以及NIEHS和路易斯维尔大学的战略计划非常好地结合在一起。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The investigators have made strategic changes in their environmental health sciences training program in response to the announced restructuring and redirection of NIEHS training programs. Participating Centers, Institutes, and Schools and the members of the training faculty provide critical resources for cutting edge basic science, clinical research, computational sciences and public health. Environmental health science partnerships have resulted in a very successful NIEHS training program in environmental health sciences. The renewal application incorporates and integrates several Schools, Centers, and Institutes. The investigators propose a substantially improved pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training program that serves as an umbrella for interdisciplinary and integrated approaches to environmental health sciences. The training program will support six pre-doctoral and three postdoctoral trainees. Initial student recruitment and funding for pre-doctoral trainees is provided by the University of Louisville Integrated Programs in the Biomedical Sciences recruitment gateway. As in the first cycle, pre-doctoral trainees will not be recruited directly into the environmental health sciences training program. All faculty mentors are asked to nominate trainees who have completed an approved dissertation proposal with a defined focus in environmental health sciences research. Faculty mentors will be asked to nominate either existing postdoctoral fellows (for example those already matriculated into the Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology Translational Sciences Program) or from trainees to be recruited. Teams of mentors (basic and clinical scientists or basic and population-based scientists) will be particularly encouraged to emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary training and translation of basic science findings to the patient and/or community. The training program facilitates multidisciplinary approaches for effective intervention and interfaces exceptionally well with the NIH Roadmap as well as with the strategic plans of NIEHS and the University of Louisville.
