Research Internships for Student Engagement in Environmental Health

描述(由申请人提供) 学生参与环境健康研究实习或RISE是一项新的R25，正在提交给NIH暑期研究体验计划。这一研究短期教育体验项目的中心目标/目的是将不同的本科生与约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院(JHBSPH)环境健康研究的研究人员联系起来，并让他们参与进来。这项研究的范围可以从分子水平的研究到基于人口的研究，包括社会和建筑环境的各个方面。次要目标包括：1)提高这些学生对环境健康/公共卫生领域研究职业机会的认识；2)通过接受来自全国不同学院和大学的学生，增加意识到这些职业机会的学生数量；以及3)增加申请与环境健康相关的研究生项目的学生数量。另一个目标是，他们将决定参加约翰·霍普金斯大学提供的课程。RISE是为本科生设计的为期10周的暑期研究实习项目。虽然它的总部设在环境健康科学部，但实习生们参加了JHBSPH多样性暑期实习计划(DSIP)的所有活动。学生的大部分时间(90%)将花在实验室与教职科学家、研究生/博士后研究员和技术人员互动。学生们每周参加两个小时的公共卫生研讨会，其中包括环境健康科学教师的科学报告，以及职业规划活动。还有每周一次的环境健康/研讨会期刊俱乐部。这个每周一次的环境健康科学研讨会/期刊俱乐部的目的是让实习生接触到环境健康的研究。除了研讨会和期刊俱乐部外，还会参观核心设施实验室。在 项目结束后，DSIP在彭博公共卫生学院举行了最后一次会议，JHBSPH的所有暑期实习生都提交了一张海报，描述了他们在夏季所做的研究。此外，JHBSPH的所有实习生都在约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院举行的联合夏季实习生海报会议上展示了他们的海报。实习生和他们的导师都填写了一份项目评估调查。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Research Internships for Student Engagement in Environmental Health or RISE is a new R25 being submitted to the NIH Summer Research Experience Program. The central goal/aim of this program for short-term educational experiences for research is to connect and engage a diversity of undergraduate students with investigators involved in environmental health research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of public Health (JHBSPH). This research could range from studies at the molecular level up to population-based studies, including aspects of the social and built environments. Secondary goals include: 1) increasing the awareness of these students of the opportunities for research careers in the field of environmental health/public health; 2) increasing the number of students aware of these career opportunities by accepting students from a diverse spectrum of colleges and universities nationwide; and, 3) increasing the number of students that apply to graduate programs relevant to environmental health. An added goal would be that they would decide to enroll in programs offered at Johns Hopkins. RISE is designed as a 10-week summer research internship program for undergraduate students. While it is based in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences, the interns participate in all of the activities of the Diversity Summer Internship Program (DSIP) at JHBSPH. The majority of student's time (90%) will be spent in the laboratory interacting with faculty scientists, graduate students/postdoctoral fellows and technicians. For two hours a week the students attend the public health seminar, which includes scientific presentations by environmental health science faculty, as well as career planning activities. There is also a weekly environmental health /seminar journal club. The purpose of this weekly environmental health science seminar/journal club is to expose the interns to research in environmental health. In addition to the seminar and journal club, there are visits to core facility laboratories. At the end of the program, DSIP holds a final session at the Bloomberg School of Public Health where all summer interns at JHBSPH present a poster describing the research they have done during the summer. In addition, all interns at JHBSPH present their posters at a combined Johns Hopkins summer intern poster session which is held at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Both interns and their mentors fill out a program evaluation survey.
