Research Experience and Training Coordination Core

项目摘要。RETCC自#年成立以来，在ULSRC的成功方面发挥了协调作用。 2017年9月。通过与UofL的其他NIEHS支持的培训计划密切合作(T32ES011564； T35ES014559)，RETCC制定了丰富、多样和全面的培训计划，既 多学科和包容性。除了课程工作和板凳上的培训活动外，RETCC 经常组织参与式实地考察，参观李氏巷超级基金网站，以更好地了解和欣赏 河滨花园邻近社区居民的健康问题；为学员会议提供便利 与地区超级基金站点协调员和官员以及路易斯维尔公共卫生和健康大都会 部门。我们的培训核心与杜克大学的超级基金研究中心合作 和宾夕法尼亚大学组织了一次华盛顿之旅，这样学员就可以参加 科学与政策研究所会议，包括与国会领导人及其工作人员的互动。是这样的 这些活动对学员的全面成长起到了重要作用。而且，这些学员不仅 提供“转动轮子的力量”，同时也是智力相声和受精的焦点和枢纽 跨项目、核心、其他SRC和国家SRP。到目前为止，ULSRC的成功是我们的学员 通过他们的许多成就取得成功，包括出版物、演讲、奖项、学位、 奖学金、与社区合作伙伴的互动以及与环境健康科学相关的职业 机遇。因此，尽管我们为我们目前通过整合全国各地的实习生活动而取得的成功感到自豪 我们继续努力在这些成功的基础上再接再厉，将创新和统一的功能应用到 RETCC指导的活动，专注于实现目标和促进学员的成功。

Project Summary. The RETCC has played a coordinating role in the success of ULSRC since its inception in September 2017. By working closely with other NIEHS-supported training programs at the UofL (T32ES011564; T35ES014559), the RETCC has developed a rich, diverse, and comprehensive training program that is both multidisciplinary and inclusive. In addition to the course work and ‘on the bench’ training activities, RETCC routinely organizes participatory field trips to the Lee’s Lane Superfund site to better understand and appreciate health concerns of residents in the adjacent community of Riverside Gardens; facilitates the meeting of trainees with regional Superfund site coordinators and officials and the Metro Louisville Public Health and Wellness Department. Our training core in collaboration with Superfund Research Centers at Duke University, University of Kentucky, and University of Pennsylvania organized a trip to Washington, D.C. so trainees could attend a Science and Policy Institute meeting that included interactions with congressional leaders and their staff. Such activities have been instrumental in the well-rounded growth of our trainees. Moreover, these trainees not only provide “the force that turns the wheel” but also are the focus and hub of intellectual crosstalk and fertilization across projects, cores, other SRCs and the National SRP. To date, ULSRC success is the product of our trainees’ successes through their many accomplishments including publications, presentations, awards, degrees, fellowships, interactions with community partners, and environmental health sciences-related career opportunities. Thus, although we are proud of our current success via integration of trainee activities across the ULSRC, we continue to strive to build on these successes by implementing innovative and unifying features into RETCC-directed activities that focus on fulfilling the goals and furthering the success of our trainees.
