项目摘要 这个项目建议继续我们非常成功的研究和本科生导师计划。 理科学生加强环境健康科学(EHS)的多样性 科罗拉多州安舒茨医学院。我们的项目，科罗拉多州环境本科生研究 健康科学(CUrehs)，将吸引来自科罗拉多大学丹佛市中心校区的学生。我们的 该计划旨在让学生在一年内接触到EHS的研究经验和指导，并将 包括一个密集的暑期计划，培训他们进行负责任的研究，并提供 他们有信心和指导继续深造。总体而言，我们的CUrehs计划提供 综合三管齐下培养学生对环境健康科学研究的兴趣 职业：(1)实验室经验；(2)社会/社区发展；(3)教育/励志 体验。在过去的资助周期中，我们共培训了24名学生，取得了成功。 由学生申请专业或研究生院、出版物和在地方和国家的演讲 会议。我们的目标仍然是通过满足 以下目标： 1.推进成功的环境类本科生科研培养计划 健康科学。 2.加强科罗拉多大学EHS的本科学习，同时提高 学员对研究生或专业学校的准备情况。 3.增强学生升入环境专业或研究生学校的多样性 健康科学。

Project Summary This project proposes to continue our highly successful research and mentorship program for undergraduate science students to enhance diversity in the environmental health sciences (EHS) based at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Our program, the Colorado Undergraduate Research in Environmental Health Sciences (CUrehs), will draw students from the University of Colorado downtown Denver campus. Our program intends to expose students to research experiences and mentorship in EHS for one year and will include an intensive summer program that trains them in the responsible conduct of research, and provides them with the confidence and guidance to pursue graduate education. Overall, our CUrehs program provides an integrated 3-pronged approach to developing student interest in environmental health sciences research and careers: (1) Laboratory Experience; (2) Social/Community Development; (3) Educational/Inspirational Experiences. We have trained a total of 24 students during the past funding cycle with success as measured by students applying to professional or graduate school, publications and presentations at local and national conferences. Our goal remains to enhance diversity in the environmental health sciences by meeting the following aims: 1. Advance our successful research-training program for undergraduate students in the environmental health sciences. 2. Strengthen the undergraduate studies in EHS at the University of Colorado while improving the participants' preparedness for graduate or professional school. 3. Enhance the diversity of students progressing to graduate or professional school in environmental health sciences.
