Environmental Toxicology and Epidemiology Pre- and Post-Doctoral Research T32 Training Program

摘要 环境毒理学和流行病学(ETEP)培训计划的目标是培训未来 通过提供连接环境的研究培训，成为环境健康科学领域的领导者 毒理学(基础研究)和流行病学(以人口为基础的研究)及其在人类疾病中的应用 预防。该项目基于这样一个前提，即专门从事环境健康研究的科学家 毒理学或流行病学需要多学科方法的培训，以进行有效的翻译 研究，包括基因组学、蛋白质组学、生物信息学和 数据科学。提议的计划代表着我们非常成功的计划的革命性变化，NOW 在它的第40个年头。在本意见书中，我们请求6个博士后和3个博士后职位(0、1和2级)。 博士前实习生专攻环境流行病学或毒理学，并完成基础和 非专业领域的高级课程(例如，流行病学实习生完成毒理学课程和 反之亦然)，所有受训人员都完成了共同的核心课程，其中包括生物信息学或 数据科学和负责任的研究行为。博士前实习生必须拥有学士学位 具有相关科学课程准备的学位，并将在 环境健康科学系，在研究生培训方面有杰出的历史 毒理学和环境健康科学。ETEP为学员提供支持的预期持续时间 培训补助金为两年；博士前培训预期期限为4-5年。博士后实习生将 与我们的ETEP教员合作，完成研究培训和职业发展模块，并将 鼓励在培训的第一年提交个人的NRSA博士后奖学金申请。 合格的博士后申请者必须表现出对环境健康科学职业的动力 从事毒理学或流行病学研究，并拥有博士、医学博士、医学博士学位或其他适当的博士学位 学位。该计划在外部执行委员会的协助下实施和评估 咨询委员会，以及来自加州大学的不同杰出教师导师 密歇根州。

ABSTRACT The objective of the Environmental Toxicology and Epidemiology (ETEP) training program is to train future leaders in the environmental health sciences by providing research training that bridges environmental toxicology (basic research) and epidemiology (population-based research) with applications to human disease prevention. The program is based on the premise that environmental health scientists who specialize in toxicology or epidemiology require training in multiple disciplinary approaches to conduct impactful translational research, encompassing the rapidly evolving approaches used in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and data science. The proposed program represents evolutionary changes to our highly successful program, now in its 40th year. In this submission, we request 6 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral positions (at levels 0, 1 and 2). Predoctoral trainees specialize in environmental epidemiology or toxicology, and complete foundation and advanced courses in the non-specialization area (e.g., epidemiology trainees complete toxicology courses and vice versa), and all trainees complete a common core curriculum that includes courses in bioinformatics or data science and the responsible conduct of research. Predoctoral trainees must have a baccalaureate degree with relevant scientific coursework preparation and will be enrolled in a PhD program in the Environmental Health Sciences Department, which has a distinguished history of graduate training in toxicology and environmental health sciences. The expected duration of trainee support from the ETEP training grant is two years; the expected duration of predoctoral training is 4-5 years. Postdoctoral trainees will work with our ETEP faculty, complete research training and career development modules, and will be encouraged to submit an individual NRSA Postdoctoral Fellowship application in their first year of training. Qualified postdoctoral applicants must demonstrate motivation for careers in the environmental health sciences addressing toxicology or epidemiology research, and have a PhD, MD, DVM or other appropriate doctoral degree. The program is implemented and evaluated with the assistance of an Executive Committee, External Advisory Committee, and a diverse pool of outstanding faculty mentors drawn from across the University of Michigan.
