PROJECT ABSTRACT Environmental Health: Transformative Research Undergraduate Experiences (E-H-TRUE) research education program at the University of Arizona (UA) seeks to recruit, educate and retain 5 undergraduate students every year who are underrepresented in environmental health sciences over five-year period. UA has a long record of accomplishment to train and retain under-representative students: more than 40% new freshman students from under-representative groups, raking #1 in PhDs earned by Naïve American students and #8 in the number of PhDs earned by Hispanic/Latino students. UA has received status as an American Indian/Alaska Native and a Hispanic Serving Institution. In E-H-TRUE, we bring together two preeminent programs: the UA Center for Toxicology and the UA Undergraduate Research Program (UBRP) to provide the top-notch research training in environmental health sciences. On the research side, the UA Center for Toxicology, one of leading toxicology research and training centers in the world, is home to the NIEHS-funded Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) and the UA Superfund Research Program. On the undergraduate education side, UBRP has served as a model for high-quality undergraduate research training for more than 30 years. Through established networks by UBRP, we will initiate early contact with freshman/sophomore undergraduates to identify talented undergraduate candidates from under-representative groups who are interested in environmental health science research. The well-designed educational component of E-H-TRUE will include a specifically designed course work in environmental health sciences to expose students to toxicology, immunology, epidemiology and government regulation. Program participants will receive hand-on training in research laboratories. Students will work with their mentors and laboratory collaborators to learn how to review literature, generate hypothesis, design step-by-step experimentation to test hypothesis, document results, and deliver presentable data by due dates. The program will emphasize collaboration and near- peer mentoring by capitalizing on the recently renewed NIEHS T32 training program (continuously funded for 40 years). The E-H-TRUE program will also facilitate community outreach activities in environmental health science through the established outreach core in SWEHSC. Finally, we have implemented a rigorous evaluation plan to measure the success and impact of the program. The main goal of the program is to provide students with research experiences and encourage them pursuing Ph.D. or professional degrees to be active in environmental science research.

项目摘要 环境健康：变革性研究本科经历（E-H-TRUE）研究 亚利桑那大学 (UA) 的教育计划旨在招募、教育和保留 5 名本科生 五年内每年都有学生在环境健康科学领域代表性不足。 UA 在培训和留住代表性不足的学生方面有着长期的成就记录：超过 40% 的新学生 来自代表性不足群体的新生在 Naïve American 获得的博士学位中排名第一 学生获得的博士学位数量排名第八。 UA 已获得以下地位： 美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民和西班牙裔服务机构。在 E-H-TRUE 中，我们将两个 杰出项目：UA 毒理学中心和 UA 本科生研究项目 (UBRP) 提供环境健康科学领域的一流研究培训。在研究方面，UA 毒理学中心是世界领先的毒理学研究和培训中心之一，是 NIEHS 资助的西南环境健康科学中心 (SWEHSC) 和 UA 超级基金 研究计划。在本科教育方面，UBRP已成为高质量本科教育的典范。 本科生科研训练30余年。通过 UBRP 建立的网络，我们将 尽早与大一/大二本科生联系，以确定有才华的本科生 来自对环境健康科学感兴趣的代表性不足群体的候选人 研究。 E-H-TRUE 精心设计的教育部分将包括专门设计的 环境健康科学课程让学生接触毒理学、免疫学、 流行病学和政府监管。项目参与者将接受研究方面的实践培训 实验室。学生将与导师和实验室合作者一起学习如何复习 文献、产生假设、设计逐步实验来检验假设、文档 结果，并在截止日期前提供可呈现的数据。该计划将强调合作和近 通过利用最近更新的 NIEHS T32 培训计划（持续资助 40 年）。 E-H-TRUE 计划还将促进环境健康方面的社区外展活动 通过 SWEHSC 既定的外展核心来开展科学活动。最后，我们实现了一个 严格的评估计划来衡量该计划的成功和影响。该计划的主要目标是 为学生提供研究经验并鼓励他们攻读博士学位。或专业学位 积极从事环境科学研究。
