Research Experience and Training Coordination Core

项目摘要(研究经验和培训协调核心：迈尔、拉米雷斯- 安德烈奥塔，张) 亚利桑那大学超级基金研究计划(UA SRP)的首要目标是改善人类 通过调查金属开采对健康和环境的影响。实现这一目标需要社交 负责任的挖掘和开发跨学科的、基于研究的、范式转换的解决方案 与金属需求增加相关的多因素问题。这样的解决方案需要持续不断的 发展新的研究能力。UA SRP研究经验和培训协调核心 (RETCC)支持这一努力，为跨学科毕业生做好准备，他们有能力应对和缓解 复杂的21世纪危险废物挑战。UA SRP实习生的成功经验得到了证明 根据他们获得的奖项数量和他们毕业后成功进入 学术、监管和行业职位。我们包括本科生和研究生以及研究生- 我们训练任务中的医生。此外，我们的受训人员密切参与了由 UASRP并向科学界和公众展示这些发现。的目标是 我们的RETCC将提供科学、研究翻译、社区等方面的全面培训机会- 在我们研究中的跨学科协作的支持下的参与式研究和数据管理 项目和核心。为此，RETCC将为每名学员提供最多10名职业发展津贴 参加年：(1)队列发展务虚会；(2)新的创新一年课程，结合 专业发展、数据分析和管理以及科学的每月座谈会 交流活动；以及(3)社区参与核心或研究翻译活动。任何学生 或与UA SRP项目/核心相关或由其支持的博士后有资格成为正式实习生， 参与我们正式的RETCC活动。为了实现我们的目标，我们制定了以下RETCC 目标：(1)为学员提供生物医学和生物医学方面的密集和广泛的培训机会 环境科学以及数据管理和分析；(2)要求学员熟悉 通过我们的座谈会和专业发展，多个科学学科的语言和文化， 数据分析、科学交流课程以及参加专业会议 涵盖不同的学科；(3)要求学员参与一个研究、翻译或社区 与我们的中心目标相关的参与活动；(4)要求学员了解 负责任地进行研究；(5)将社区参与的研究概念和经验纳入 每个学员的教育；以及(6)为学员提供多导师学徒机会。通过 为了实现我们的目标，RETCC将培养出充满激情、使命驱动、具有环境意识的科学家 接受培训，以解决资源开采的社会和伦理问题，并考虑采矿对 社区健康和福祉以及金属的生产、使用和再利用。

PROJECT SUMMARY (Research Experience and Training Coordination Core: Maier, Ramírez- Andreotta, Zhang) The overarching goal of the University of Arizona Superfund Research Program (UA SRP) is to improve human health and the environment by investigating the impacts of metal mining. Achieving this goal requires socially responsible mining and the development of transdisciplinary, research-based, paradigm-shifting solutions to the multifactorial problems associated with the increased demand for metals. Such solutions require the continual development of new research capacity. The UA SRP Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (RETCC) supports this effort by preparing interdisciplinary graduates who are equipped to address and mitigate complex 21st century hazardous waste challenges. The success of the UA SRP Trainee experience is evidenced by the number of awards they receive and by their successful placement upon graduation into sought after academic, regulatory, and industry positions. We involve undergraduate and graduate students as well as post- docs in our training mission. As well, our Trainees are intimately involved in the scientific discoveries made by the UA SRP and in presenting these discoveries to the science community and the general public. The goal of our RETCC is to provide comprehensive training opportunities in science, research translation, community- engaged research, and data management supported by interdisciplinary collaborations among our research projects and cores. To this end, the RETCC will provide career enhancement stipends to up to ten Trainees each year to participate in: (1) a cohort development retreat; (2) a new innovative year-long course that combines monthly Colloquium with professional development, data analysis and management, and science communication activities; and (3) a Community Engagement Core or Research Translation activity. Any student or post-doc affiliated with or supported by a UA SRP project/core is eligible to be an official Trainee and participate in our formalized RETCC activities. To achieve our goal, we have devised the following RETCC objectives: (1) Provide Trainees access to intensive and extensive training opportunities in biomedical and environmental sciences as well as data management and analysis; (2) Require Trainees to become familiar with the language and culture of multiple scientific disciplines through our Colloquium and professional development, data analysis, and science communication curriculum as well as attendance at professional meetings encompassing different disciplines; (3) Require Trainees to participate in one research translation or community engagement activity related to our Center goals; (4) Require Trainees to understand best practices in the responsible conduct of research; (5) Incorporate community-engaged research concepts and experience into each Trainee’s education; and (6) Provide multi-mentor apprenticeship opportunities to our Trainees. By addressing our objectives, the RETCC will produce passionate, mission-driven, environmentally aware scientists trained to address the social and ethical aspects of resource extraction and to consider the impacts of mining on community health and well-being as well as the production, use, and reuse of metals.
