PROJECT SUMMARY The Summer Undergraduate Research in Environmental Health Sciences (SURES) program at the University of Kentucky is designed to introduce students to the highly interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of environmental health science (EHS) research that is focused on solving key global health problems. An additional focus is to prepare underprivileged and under-represented students for successful careers in relevant fields. This is a competitive renewal application seeks support to continue our 10-week summer program and support fellowships for 10 students. The SURES program leverages the substantial and ongoing efforts at the University of Kentucky driven to enhance the undergraduate research experience with the robust environmental health science research programs of involved faculty mentors. The specific aims are to 1) enhance student understanding and interest in EHS and 2) improve student scientific and career skills. Towards this end, students will be recruited from the Commonwealth of Kentucky with an emphasis on those from the Appalachian region as well as from a variety of undergraduate institutions in order to create a cohort of participants representing diverse populations. The SURES program will commence with a week-long session that introduces students to research, laboratory safety and scientific ethics. The students will then experience hands-on research by performing experiments in the laboratories of their chosen mentors. Professional development and a sense of belonging to the EHS community will be built via student participation in weekly lunches with EHS researchers and professionals, net-working opportunities and tours of research facilities. In addition, students will be paired with a near-peer mentor and engage in weekly activities that include a “citizen science” lead collection group exercise, a theatre improvisation workshop, community-building circle on mentoring, “painting their projects” and viewing a discussing a film on climate change. Each participant will create an EHS-relevant podcast. The SURES program will culminate in a campus-wide poster session attended by the faculty, staff, students and student family members. Success of the program is indicated by the engagement of prior participants in careers in university research (13%), industry (16%), government/nonprofits (11%) and pursuing graduate (16%) /professional (37%) education. Dissemination of the approaches used in this program and their outcomes will build upon the expansion of the traditional environmental health sciences research training from the graduate and post-doctoral level to the undergraduates at a national level.

项目概要 环境健康科学暑期本科生研究 (SURES) 项目 肯塔基州旨在向学生介绍高度跨学科和协作的性质 环境健康科学（EHS）研究专注于解决全球关键健康问题。一个 额外的重点是帮助贫困和代表性不足的学生在相关领域取得成功的职业生涯 字段。这是一个竞争性的续签申请，旨在寻求支持以继续我们为期 10 周的夏季计划，并且 为10名学生提供奖学金。 SURES 计划充分利用了各方面的大量持续努力 肯塔基大学以良好的环境推动本科生研究经验的提升 参与教师导师的健康科学研究项目。具体目标是 1) 提高学生 对 EHS 的理解和兴趣，2) 提高学生的科学和职业技能。为此，同学们 将从肯塔基州招募，重点是阿巴拉契亚地区的招募 以及来自各种本科院校的参与者，以创建代表 不同的人群。 SURES 项目将以为期一周的课程开始，向学生介绍 研究、实验室安全和科学道德。然后学生将体验实践研究 在他们选择的导师的实验室中进行实验。专业发展和意识 EHS 社区的归属感将通过学生参与每周与 EHS 研究人员共进午餐来建立 和专业人士、交流机会和参观研究设施。此外，学生将被配对 与一位近乎同行的导师一起参加每周的活动，其中包括“公民科学”领导收集小组 练习、戏剧即兴创作研讨会、指导社区建设圈、“绘制他们的项目”以及 观看一部讨论气候变化的电影。每个参与者将创建一个与 EHS 相关的播客。这 SURES 项目将在全校范围内举行海报会议，教职员工、学生和学生将参加 学生家庭成员。该计划的成功体现在先前参与者对职业的参与度 大学研究 (13%)、工业 (16%)、政府/非营利组织 (11%) 和研究生 (16%) /专业（37%）教育。传播该计划中使用的方法及其成果将 以研究生传统环境健康科学研究培训的扩展为基础 和国家级本科生博士后流动站。
