DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Environmental health science at Emory University has grown substantially over the past decade. It is no coincidence that this growth parallels the T32 Training Program from the NIEHS. As the investigators enter their 10th year of T32 funding they can document marked success in training, mentoring, and placement of our trainees. Of 34 trainees who have completed their training (either completion of Ph.D. or an Emory postdoctoral fellowship), five are in academic tenure track positions, 12 are in academic non-tenure track positions including postdoctoral fellows still in training, three serve in industry positions, two are in government, ad one is no longer in workforce. The trainees have received numerous awards, including individual NRSAs and K99/R00s. The training faculty has expanded from 19 to 40 with NIEHS grant funding more than doubling. The investigators NIEHS P30 Core Center was just awarded in May, 2013, which will provide trainees with access to expertise in systems biology, bioinformatics, metabolomics, analytical chemistry, and community engagement. The School of Public Health recently completed construction of a new building that greatly increased laboratory and classroom space for many of the T32 investigators. The investigators also successfully launched the new doctoral program in Environmental Health Sciences in 2011 (Dr. Sarnat, Director). This Program provides advanced training in environmental health science from the molecular level to the population level. Postdoctoral trainees have come from several departments on campus, play critical roles in faculty research, and participate in the professional development activities available on campus (Dr. Caudle, Director). Trainees have access to excellent RCR and professionalization workshops. The investigators have been involved in a multi-tiered strategy aimed at the recruitment and retention of under-represented minorities (URM) trainees (over 25% of their trainees are URM). In its first nine years, the Emory NIEHS T32 has provided outstanding training opportunities for 44 junior investigators in the areas of environmental health sciences and toxicology. The investigators request six pre-doctoral and three postdoctoral slots. They propose to continue their Program with innovative coursework, outstanding research training, trainee-focused career development, and a commitment to diversity.

描述（由申请人提供） 埃默里大学的环境健康科学在过去十年中取得了长足的发展。 这种增长与 NIEHS 的 T32 培训计划并行并非巧合。 随着研究人员进入 T32 资助的第十个年头，他们可以记录我们的学员在培训、指导和安置方面取得的显着成功。在完成培训的 34 名学员中（完成博士学位或获得埃默里大学博士后奖学金），5 名处于学术终身职位，12 名处于学术非终身职位，包括仍在培训的博士后研究员，3 名在行业任职，2 名在政府，1 名不再工作。 学员获得了无数奖项，包括个人 NRSA 和 K99/R00。培训师资队伍已从 19 名扩大到 40 名，NIEHS 的资助资金增加了一倍多。研究人员 NIEHS P30 核心中心于 2013 年 5 月刚刚获得授予，该中心将为学员提供系统生物学、生物信息学、代谢组学、分析化学和社区参与方面的专业知识。公共卫生学院最近完成了一座新大楼的建设，大大增加了许多 T32 研究人员的实验室和教室空间。研究人员还于 2011 年成功启动了环境健康科学新博士项目（Sarnat 博士，主任）。该计划提供从分子水平到人口水平的环境健康科学高级培训。博士后培训生来自校园的多个院系，在教师研究中发挥着关键作用，并参与校园内的专业发展活动（主任考德尔博士）。 学员可以参加优秀的 RCR 和专业化研讨会。 调查人员参与了一项旨在招募和留住代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学员（超过 25% 的学员是 URM）的多层次战略。 在成立的前九年中，埃默里 NIEHS T32 为 44 名初级研究人员提供了环境健康科学和毒理学领域的出色培训机会。 研究人员要求六个博士前职位和三个博士后职位。他们建议继续他们的项目，提供创新的课程、出色的研究培训、以学员为中心的职业发展以及对多样性的承诺。
