PROJECT SUMMARY: Research Experience and Training Coordination Core The 20th century brought the chemical revolution and the steady increase of large-scale production of chemicals. Only later did the problem of environmental persistence of some of these new and useful chemicals become evident, and only recently did we discover the magnitude of the negative health effects caused by these pollutants, including brain diseases and metabolic syndrome, cancer, fertility problems, reduced immune system function, and even hearing loss and autism. Moreover, these pollutants may volatilize and contaminate indoor and outdoor air. Environmental health and engineering professionals must now deal with these legacy contaminants in multiple dimensions to protect humans and the environment, and to prevent future contamination. As a consequence, the traditional training approach designed to produce specialized experts in individual, narrow disciplines is clearly inappropriate to prepare trainees for leadership roles in environmental health and technology. Instead, future scientists and engineers need thorough training in their specific fields, supported by basic knowledge of diverse areas (socioeconomics, policy, engineering, and science), along with communication and collaboration skills to work with specialists in other disciplines and with varied stakeholders and affected communities. To properly prepare students and post-docs, the Iowa Superfund Research Program (ISRP) Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (RETCC) will: 1) identify, promote, evaluate, and track interdisciplinary training approaches; 2) coordinate training in ISRP methods and applications; 3) develop opportunities for trainee participation in the ISRP Community Engagement Core and in research translation activities; 4) interact with the ISRP Data Management and Analysis Core to provide training in data management, analysis, and data sharing; and 5) offer opportunities for professional career development. In the last funding circle (April 2015–November 2018), 48 graduate students and postdocs (24 ongoing) obtained such training. To build on this success, we are creating and coordinating a unique set of courses, seminars, workshops, community outreach, and research translation experiences, so all ISRP trainees can gain insights into health effects, risk, detection, and remediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the needs of stakeholders and affected communities, and how to build a successful career. ISRP researchers make this possible through established, successful, supportive collaborations with colleagues representing diverse areas such as toxicology, occupational and environmental health, medicinal pharmacology, environmental and medical engineering, and urban and regional planning, along with extraordinary support from the University of Iowa Graduate College. The RETCC’s unique resources will ensure its future success of preparing a new generation of scientists and engineers to solve the environmental pollution challenges of the 21st century.

项目总结：研究经验和培训协调核心 世纪带来了化学革命和大规模生产的稳步增长， 化学品只是到了后来，这些新的有用的化学物质在环境中的持久性问题才开始引起人们的注意。 直到最近，我们才发现， 这些污染物，包括脑部疾病和代谢综合征，癌症，生育问题，免疫力下降， 系统功能，甚至听力损失和自闭症。此外，这些污染物可能挥发并污染 室内和室外空气。环境卫生和工程专业人员现在必须处理这些遗留问题 污染物在多个层面，以保护人类和环境，并防止未来 污染.因此，传统的培训方法，旨在培养专门的专家， 个人的，狭隘的学科显然不适合培养学员在环境中的领导作用 健康和技术。相反，未来的科学家和工程师需要在其特定领域进行彻底的培训， 由不同领域的基本知识（社会经济学，政策，工程和科学）支持，沿着 与其他学科的专家和不同利益相关者合作的沟通和协作技能 和受影响的社区。为了让学生和博士后做好充分的准备，爱荷华州超级基金研究 计划（ISRP）的研究经验和培训协调核心（RETCC）将：1）确定，促进， 评估和跟踪跨学科培训方法; 2）协调ISRP方法的培训， 3）为学员参与ISRP社区参与核心和 研究翻译活动; 4）与ISRP数据管理和分析核心互动， 数据管理、分析和数据共享方面的培训; 5）提供职业生涯的机会 发展在上一个资助周期（2015年4月至2018年11月），48名研究生和博士后（24 正在进行中）获得此类培训。为了巩固这一成功，我们正在创建和协调一套独特的 课程，研讨会，讲习班，社区外展和研究翻译经验，所以所有ISRP 学员可以深入了解多氯联苯的健康影响、风险、检测和补救措施 （多氯联苯）、利益攸关方和受影响社区的需求以及如何建立成功的职业生涯。ISRP 研究人员通过与同事建立、成功、支持性的合作使这成为可能 代表不同的领域，如毒理学，职业和环境卫生，医药， 药理学，环境和医学工程，城市和区域规划，沿着 来自爱荷华州大学研究生院的特别支持。RETCC的独特资源将 确保其未来的成功，准备新一代的科学家和工程师，以解决环境问题 21世纪世纪的污染挑战。
