基本核心：项目总结/摘要 南加州儿童环境中心发展核心的总体目标是： 健康转化研究（SC-CCEHTR）是（1）培养和指导初级研究人员开发新的 儿童环境健康科学（CEHS）的转化研究策略和方法，以及（2） 制定催化剂项目计划，解决CEHS中的时间敏感或新出现的挑战，并测试新的 多学科转化方法，以确定原因和减少环境疾病的负担。 职业发展计划（CDP）将发展CEHS的专业知识，并确定和促进培训 与城市化，空气污染，儿童健康和 环境正义。CDP将通过在很大程度上促进不同领域的整合来区分自己 新CEHS，包括通信，政策和城市设计，社会学，戏剧艺术，教育，网络 分析和实施科学等;和传统的CEHS人口科学。初级 研究人员将得到催化剂计划试点项目资金的支持，目标是提高CEHS 翻译的影响，生产力，竞争力的同行评审的外部资金在CEHS，以及进展， 研究独立性。一个创新的光盘研讨会，一个指导论坛，特别是同行指导， 信息交流和新的跨学科翻译团队的发展，将有助于促进一体化 跨学科。中心丰富活动，包括中心系列研讨会、工作坊、相关参观 科学家座谈会、焦点领域工作组、中心年度务虚会和旅行支持都将有一个焦点 在初级调查员的CD上与国际儿童健康学会和 环境（ISCHE）将扩大CDP的范围。ISCHE将对初级调查员“研究员”进行政策培训， 科学传播与社区科学。该中心将支持大约10名国际标准住房和住房委员会成员的旅行 SC-CCEHTR CDP的研究员和参与者，他们是ISCHE成员，在第三年参加ISCHE务虚会， 5.促进与来自区域和全国其他机构的初级研究人员的互动， a中心优先事项。来自ISCHE的外部研究人员，其他儿童环境健康研究 翻译中心和其他合作伙伴将优先获得Catalyst计划试点项目和中心CD 资源，以促进互利合作。DC还将利用广泛的 在南加州大学其他三个NIEHS资助的中心开发的培训机会，重点是CEHS， 成功指导初级教师独立和终身教职的跟踪记录。的 DC将成为促进更好地了解CEHS的模式，从而减少空气污染暴露， 更健康的社区。

DEVELOPMENTAL CORE: PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The overall goal of the Developmental Core (DC) of the Southern California Center for Children’s Environmental Health Translational Research (SC-CCEHTR) is (1) to nurture and mentor junior investigators developing new translational research strategies and approaches to children’s environmental health science (CEHS), and (2) to develop a Catalyst Project Program addressing time-sensitive or emerging challenges in CEHS and testing novel multidisciplinary translational approaches to identify the causes and reduce the burden of environmental disease. A Career Development Program (CDP) will develop CEHS expertise and identify and promote training opportunities that are concordant with the Center theme of Urbanism, Air Pollution, Children’s Health and Environmental Justice. The CDP will distinguish itself by promoting integration across diverse fields largely new to CEHS, including communication, policy and urban design, sociology, dramatic arts, education, network analysis and implementation science, among others; and traditional CEHS population sciences. Junior investigators will be supported by Catalyst Program pilot project funds with a goal of increasing CEHS translational impact, productivity, competitiveness for peer-reviewed external funding in CEHS, and progress to research independence. An innovative CD Seminar, a forum for mentoring, especially peer mentoring, information exchange and development of new interdisciplinary translational teams, will help promote integration across disciplines. Center enrichment activities, including Center seminar series, workshops, associated visiting scientist symposia, Focus Area working groups, yearly Center retreats, and travel support will all have a focus on junior investigators’ CD. An innovative partnership with the International Society for Children’s Health and the Environment (ISCHE) will expand the reach of the CDP. ISCHE will train junior investigator “Fellows” in policy, science communication and community science. The Center will support travel of approximately 10 ISCHE Fellows and participants in the SC-CCEHTR CDP who are ISCHE members to an ISCHE Retreat in Years 3 and 5. Fostering interactions with junior investigators from other institutions regionally and across the country will be a Center priority. External investigators from ISCHE, other Children's Environmental Health Research Translation Centers, and other partners will have priority for the Catalyst Program pilot projects and Center CD resources in order to promote mutually beneficial collaboration. The DC will also leverage a broad spectrum of training opportunities developed across three other NIEHS-funded centers at USC, focused on CEHS, that have a track record of successfully mentoring junior faculty to independence and tenure-track faculty positions. The DC will be a model for promoting better understanding of CEHS that leads to reduced air pollution exposure and healthier communities.
