DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) China's extraordinary, rapid economic development has brought severe environmental deterioration which can have major global impacts through emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and through large scale transport of pollution. Facing many challenges in confronting the crucial environmental health issues, one of the major challenges China faces today is the severe lack of trained personnel in all major areas of environmental health sciences. The primary goal of this application is to secure the resources necessary to build a center of excellence in research and teaching in environmental health sciences within the Chinese National Institute of Environmental Health and Related Product Safety (IEHS), which is mandated by the central government to be responsible for China's environmental health and monitoring. The resources will be used to (1) train scientists urgently needed in the IEHS to develop appropriate strategies to better understand and more effectively respond to the emerging threat from the vast environmental pollution and deterioration in China; and (2) build an infrastructure that will allow IEHS to function as a national center for teaching and research in environmental health sciences. The training goals will be achieved through trainees, selected from faculty and existing pre- and post-doctoral programs at IEHS, who will receive education and mentoring at Yale University School of Public Health (YSPH) through long-term, intermediate-, and short-term training. The training will emphasize principles and methods in six major areas: environmental health, environmental epidemiology and molecular epidemiology, risk assessment, intervention trials and biostatistics. This training program will be administered by a Steering Committee with representation from both IEHS and Yale University. YSPH and IEHS have a strong history of prior research and training collaborations. We anticipate that trainees of this program will be uniquely qualified to be future leaders in the field of environmental health science in China.

描述(由申请人提供) 中国非同寻常的快速经济发展带来了严重的环境恶化，通过排放导致气候变化的温室气体和大规模的污染输送，可能会对全球产生重大影响。在面对严峻的环境健康问题时，中国面临的一大挑战是环境健康科学各主要领域严重缺乏训练有素的人才。这项申请的主要目标是获得必要的资源，在中国国家环境健康及相关产品安全研究所内建立一个环境健康科学研究和教学卓越中心，该研究所由中央政府授权，负责中国的环境健康和监测。这些资源将用于(1)培训研究所迫切需要的科学家，以制定适当的战略，以更好地了解和更有效地应对中国巨大的环境污染和恶化所带来的新威胁；(2)建设基础设施，使研究所能够发挥国家环境健康科学教学和研究中心的作用。培训目标将通过从教职员工和现有的博士前和博士后项目中挑选出来的受训者来实现 IEHS将通过长期、中期和短期培训在耶鲁大学公共卫生学院(YSPH)接受教育和指导。培训将强调六个主要领域的原则和方法：环境卫生、环境流行病学和分子流行病学、风险评估、干预试验和生物统计学。这项培训计划将由一名指导人员管理 来自IEHS和耶鲁大学的代表组成的委员会。YSPH和IEHS在之前的研究和培训合作方面有着深厚的历史。我们预计，该项目的学员将唯一有资格成为未来中国环境健康科学领域的领导者。
