Steering Undergraduate Interest in Environmental Health Sciences at the Universit

作者：N.D. Inbre 程序.这种差距是支持本科环境科学培养的， INBRE的本科生拥有研究密集型机构，即大学 在北达科他州。本申请将使用INBRE基金会发起一个 强大的大学生环境健康科学培训计划 在北达科他州。研究主题将是推进假设， 引起人类疾病的环境因子引起细胞内的细胞改变， 可以被鉴定为疾病的预测生物标志物的结构和功能 发展和进步。为了推进这一主题，学生们将参与 研究环境污染物砷和镉的作用， 人类膀胱、乳腺、前列腺和肾脏疾病的发展和进展。 该计划的目的是：提供本科研究经验， 环境科学在北达科他州大学的本科生; 为本科生提供环境健康科学的介绍， 北达科他州大学;以及，使用INBRE开发的基础设施 计划，以支持STEER计划的努力，反之亦然，在整个生命周期， 奖励机制。 项目描述第6页

by the ND INBRE program. This gap is the support of undergraduate environmental science training for undergraduate students at the INBRE host research-intensive institution, the University of North Dakota. The present application will use the INBRE foundation to initiate a strong undergraduate training program in environmental health science at the University of North Dakota. The research theme will be to advance the hypothesis that environmental agents which elicit human disease cause cellular alterations in cell structure and function that can be identified as predictive biomarkers of disease development and progression. To advance this theme, the students will be involved in research that studies the role of the environmental pollutants, arsenic and cadmium, in the development and progression of human bladder, breast, prostate and renal disease. The aims of the program are: To provide an undergraduate research experience in environmental sciences to undergraduate students at the University of North Dakota; to provide an introduction to environmental health sciences to undergraduate students at the University of North Dakota; and, to use infrastructure developed in the INBRE program to support STEER programmatic efforts and vice versa over the life of the award mechanisms.
