 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) In this competitive renewal of the Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Institutional Research Training Grant Application, we request funds to support the research training in environmental toxicology at the University of California, Riverside. The proposed interdisciplinary research training program is built upon the solid foundation of the existing curriculum structure of the environmental toxicology graduate program. The fourteen preceptors are from the Division of Biomedical Sciences as well as the Departments of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Botany and Plant Science, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, and Environmental Sciences. They have been very actively involved with the training of pre- and postdoctoral individuals in environmental toxicology and their research projects have been well funded. The research programs of these faculty members include genetic toxicology and epigenetics (Chen, Eastmond, Song, and Wang), analytical chemistry and proteomics (Ai, Cheng, Gan, Mulchandani, and Wang), oxidative stress (Ai, Julian and Wang), and endocrine disruption and metabolism (Gill, Messaoudi, Schlenk, Sladek, and Walker). Pre-doctoral trainees will be selected from the participating Chemistry and Environmental Toxicology graduate programs. An Internal Steering Committee is established to select the trainees and to monitor the progress of the trainees, and an External Advisory Board is also named to assist the management of the training program. A total of 6 trainees per year (4 pre-doctorates plus 2 post-doctorates) are requested. The trainees will be exposed to a variety of cutting-edge technologies in nanofabrication, genomics, proteomics, etc. The request for continuing funding of this research training grant is justified by the relevance of the proposed research training to environmental health, the excellent training environment, the superb experience of the preceptors in training pre- and postdoctoral individuals, the strong institutional commitment, the diverse graduate student body at the University, as well as our success in recruiting, appointing and nurturing the success of trainees in the last funding cycle.

 描述（由申请人提供） 在这场竞争激烈的鲁思L。Kirschstein NRSA机构研究培训补助金申请，我们要求资金，以支持在加州大学，滨江环境毒理学的研究培训。拟议的跨学科研究培训计划建立在环境毒理学研究生课程现有课程结构的坚实基础上。14位导师来自生物医学科学部以及化学，生物化学，植物学和植物科学，化学和环境工程以及环境科学部门。他们一直非常积极地参与培训前和博士后个人在环境毒理学和他们的研究项目得到了很好的资助。这些教师的研究项目包括遗传毒理学和表观遗传学（陈，伊斯特蒙德，宋和王），分析化学和蛋白质组学（艾，程，甘，Mulchandani和王），氧化应激（艾，朱利安和王），内分泌干扰和代谢（吉尔，Messaoudi，Schlenk，Sladek和步行者）。博士前学员将从参与化学和环境毒理学研究生课程中选出。本集团已成立内部指导委员会以甄选受训人员及监察受训人员的进度，并已委任外部咨询委员会协助管理培训计划。每年共要求6名受训人员（4名博士前加2名博士后）。受训人员将接触到纳米制造、基因组学、蛋白质组学等各种尖端技术。由于拟议的研究培训与环境卫生相关，优良的培训环境，导师在培训博士前和博士后个人方面的高超经验，强有力的机构承诺，岭大多元化的研究生团体，以及我们在上一个资助周期成功招聘、委任及培育学员。
