Training Grant for the Joint Graduate Program in Exposure Science.

描述（由申请人提供） 本申请要求支持前两年的3名博士前学生和1名博士后研究员，并支持未来三年的4名博士前学生和2名博士后研究员，用于生物医学科学研究生院/UNMDJ和环境科学研究生院/罗格斯大学的暴露科学联合研究生项目（JGPES）。JGPES拥有来自两所大学四个系的十七名教师，迄今已培养了三十三名博士生。JGPES的中心使命是培养具有人类接触科学及其在环境健康科学中应用的广泛知识的博士前和博士后学员，并在其专业研究领域提供严格的培训。JGPES是美国第一个暴露科学博士学位授予计划，提供和发展了广泛的课程，以满足这一领域的新兴需求，它被安置在环境与职业健康科学研究所（EOHSI），一个多学科研究中心，完全致力于环境健康研究。与EOHSI的JGPES协会提供了一个独特的多学科环境，以促进发展中科学家和培训学者之间的合作关系，进行跨学科研究。由JGPES提供的课程和研究机会旨在鼓励创新，研究的原创性和领导技能。要求的受训人数与未来五年计划和暴露科学领域的预期增长一致。JGPES为学员提供了一个不寻常的机会，通过使用生物标志物的测量，“组学”技术的应用和毒代动力学建模，在接触科学和人类健康的界面上与毒理学家，医学科学家和临床研究人员密切互动。JGPES的毕业生在暴露科学领域的前沿获得了深入的知识和研究经验，使他们能够在更广泛的环境健康领域内建立独立的多学科研究项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This application requests support for 3 pre-doctoral students and 1 postdoctoral fellow for the first two years and support for 4 pre-doctoral students and 2 postdoctoral fellows for the next three years for the Joint Graduate Program in Exposure Science (JGPES) of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences/UNMDJ and Environmental Sciences/Rutgers University. The JGPES has seventeen faculty members from four departments of the two universities and has trained thirty-three doctoral students to date. The central mission of the JGPES is to train pre- and postdoctoral trainees with a broad knowledge of human exposure science and its applications to the environmental health sciences, and to provide rigorous training in their specialized area of research. The JGPES is the first Exposure Science Doctoral Degree granting program in the United States, the availability and evolution of a wide range of courses to meet the emerging needs in this field, and it's being housed within the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI), a multidisciplinary research center dedicated entirely to environmental health research. The JGPES association with EOHSI provides a unique multidisciplinary environment for fostering collaborative relationship among developing scientists and training scholars in conducting interdisciplinary research. The curriculum and research opportunities offered by the JGPES are designed to encourage innovation, originality of research, and leadership skills. The requested number of trainees is consistent with the expected growth of the program and field of exposure science over the next five years. The JGPES offers its trainees an unusual opportunity to closely interact with toxicologists, physician-scientists and clinical researchers at the interface of exposure science and human health through the use of measurement of biomarkers, application of "omic" techniques and toxicokinetic modeling. Graduates of the JGPES acquire a depth of knowledge and research experience at the cutting edge of the field of exposure science that allows them to build independent, multidisciplinary research programs within the broader field of environmental health.
