The interest in and need for increased environmental health research has steadily grown during the past decade. To address this need, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has established goals for increased numbers of tomorrow's environmental health scientists. To this end, the focus of the Short Term Educational Experience for Research summer program at the University of Pennsylvania will help to expose selected undergraduate and high school students to the field of environmental health science through mentorship, coursework, and field experience. This program represents a collaboration of faculty and staff from The Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology, a cross disciplinary research initiative, the Penn Summer Mentorship Program for High School Students sponsored by the Office of the Provost, and faculty from the School of Medicine, Nursing, and Arts & Sciences. The program will provide didactic experiences in environmental and public health and provide mentorship opportunities in the defined areas of environmental exposures and health effects associated with lung and airway disease, endocrine and reproduction disruption, gene-environment interactions and oxidative stress.

在过去的十年中，人们对加强环境健康研究的兴趣和需求稳步增长。为了满足这一需求，国家环境健康科学研究所 (NIEHS) 制定了增加未来环境健康科学家数量的目标。为此，宾夕法尼亚大学短期研究教育经验暑期项目的重点将有助于让选定的本科生和高中生接触该领域 通过指导、课程作业和现场经验来实现环境健康科学。该计划代表了来自环境毒理学卓越中心、跨学科研究计划、由教务长办公室赞助的宾夕法尼亚大学高中生暑期指导计划以及医学院、护理学院和艺术与科学学院的教职人员的合作。该计划将提供环境和公共卫生方面的教学经验，并在与肺和气道疾病、内分泌和生殖干扰、基因-环境相互作用和相关的环境暴露和健康影响的特定领域提供指导机会。 氧化应激。
