Career Development Program

CTEHR职业发展计划（CDP）的总体目标是支持培训和 新的和过渡环境卫生调查员和医生科学家的专业发展。 因为EHS研究中最重要、科学上最有趣、最具挑战性的问题是 嵌入在多个学科的接口，CDP将发挥关键作用，帮助促进 产生新的科学知识，技术能力，并形成跨学科和跨学科 集团发展未来的EHS研究队伍。该方法将侧重于职业生涯的连续性 从博士后研究员到初级教师和临床科学家，再到追求 环境卫生研究问题。为了实现这一目标，我们将开展以下工作 具体目标： 目标1.吸引和参与不同的初级研究人员，以加强EHS研究的追求 通过制定正式的指导计划、有针对性的试点项目机会和访问 通过CTEHR Facility Cores获得先进技术。 目标2.目标和导师选定的博士后学员提供重点辅导和培养 成功的NIH K奖。 目标3。制定一个中心间资源联盟和指导伙伴关系方案， 中心合作，扩大EHS研究。 目标4。与COEC和IHSFC合作开展“深入”活动，以提供信息， 关于使社区参与以社区为基础的参与性和 流行病学研究。 由于与CTEHR专题会议的联系，CDP在实现这些目标方面处于独特的地位。 重点领域，并与先进成像，定量生物学，靶向基因组学和 综合健康科学设施核心和COEC。

The overall goal of the Career Development Program (CDP) of the CTEHR is to support training and professional development of new and transitioning environmental health investigators and physician scientists. Because the most important, scientifically interesting and challenging questions in EHS research are embedded at the interface of multiple disciplines, the CDP will play a key role in helping to facilitate the generation of new scientific knowledge, technical capabilities, and formation of inter- and trans-disciplinary groups to develop the future EHS research workforce. The approach will focus on the continuum of career development from post-doctoral fellow to junior faculty and clinician scientists to established scientists pursuing environmental health research questions. In order to accomplish this goal, we will carry out the following Specific Aims: Aim 1. Attract and engage a diverse group of junior investigators to enhance pursuit of EHS research through development of a formal mentoring program, targeted pilot project opportunities and access to advanced technology through CTEHR Facility Cores. Aim 2. Target and mentor selected post-doctoral trainees to provide focused mentoring and foster development of successful NIH K awards. Aim 3. Develop an Inter-Center Resource Alliance and Mentored Partnership Program to enhance inter- center collaboration and expand EHS research. Aim 4. Develop, in collaboration with the COEC and IHSFC, "Inreach" activities to provide information, strategies and expertise on engaging communities in community-based participatory and epidemiologic research. The CDP is in a unique position to accomplish these aims, due to connections with the CTEHR Thematic Focus Areas, and shared leadership with the Advanced Imaging, Quantitative Biology, Targeted Genomics and Integrated Health Sciences Facility Cores and the COEC.
