Research Experience and Training Coordination Core

项目概要（研究经验和培训协调核心：Maier，Ramírez- Andreotta，Zhang） 亚利桑那大学超级基金研究计划（UA SRP）的首要目标是改善人类健康。 通过调查金属采矿的影响，对健康和环境进行评估。实现这一目标需要社会 负责任的采矿和跨学科的发展，以研究为基础，范式转变的解决方案， 与金属需求增加相关的多因素问题。此类解决方案需要持续的 发展新的研究能力。UA SRP研究经验与培训协调核心 （RETCC）通过培养跨学科的毕业生来支持这一努力，这些毕业生有能力解决和减轻 复杂的21世纪世纪危险废物的挑战。UA SRP培训生经验的成功证明了 他们所获得的奖励数量和他们毕业后的成功安置， 学术、监管和行业职位。我们涉及本科生和研究生以及后- 在我们的训练使命中。同时，我们的学员密切参与科学发现， 美国科学研究计划，并向科学界和公众展示这些发现。的目标 我们的RETCC是提供科学，研究翻译，社区， 从事研究，并通过我们的研究之间的跨学科合作支持数据管理 项目和核心。为此，RETCC将为每位学员提供最多10名职业提升津贴 一年参加：（1）队列发展务虚会;（2）一个新的创新的为期一年的课程，结合 每月一次的专业发展、数据分析和管理以及科学研讨会 沟通活动;（3）社区参与核心或研究翻译活动。任何学生 隶属于UA SRP项目/核心或由其支持的博士后有资格成为正式培训生， 参加我们正式的RETCC活动。为达致这个目标，我们设计了以下的资源回收协调中心 目标：（1）为受训者提供生物医学和生物医学领域的密集和广泛的培训机会， 环境科学以及数据管理和分析;（2）要求学员熟悉 通过我们的学术讨论会和专业发展， 数据分析和科学传播课程以及参加专业会议 （3）要求学员参加一个研究翻译或社区 与我们中心目标相关的参与活动;（4）要求学员了解 （5）将社区参与的研究概念和经验纳入 每个学员的教育;及（6）为我们的学员提供多导师学徒机会。通过 为了实现我们的目标，RETCC将培养出充满激情、使命感强、具有环保意识的科学家 接受培训，以处理资源开采的社会和道德方面问题，并考虑采矿对环境的影响， 社区健康和福祉以及金属的生产、使用和再利用。

PROJECT SUMMARY (Research Experience and Training Coordination Core: Maier, Ramírez- Andreotta, Zhang) The overarching goal of the University of Arizona Superfund Research Program (UA SRP) is to improve human health and the environment by investigating the impacts of metal mining. Achieving this goal requires socially responsible mining and the development of transdisciplinary, research-based, paradigm-shifting solutions to the multifactorial problems associated with the increased demand for metals. Such solutions require the continual development of new research capacity. The UA SRP Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (RETCC) supports this effort by preparing interdisciplinary graduates who are equipped to address and mitigate complex 21st century hazardous waste challenges. The success of the UA SRP Trainee experience is evidenced by the number of awards they receive and by their successful placement upon graduation into sought after academic, regulatory, and industry positions. We involve undergraduate and graduate students as well as post- docs in our training mission. As well, our Trainees are intimately involved in the scientific discoveries made by the UA SRP and in presenting these discoveries to the science community and the general public. The goal of our RETCC is to provide comprehensive training opportunities in science, research translation, community- engaged research, and data management supported by interdisciplinary collaborations among our research projects and cores. To this end, the RETCC will provide career enhancement stipends to up to ten Trainees each year to participate in: (1) a cohort development retreat; (2) a new innovative year-long course that combines monthly Colloquium with professional development, data analysis and management, and science communication activities; and (3) a Community Engagement Core or Research Translation activity. Any student or post-doc affiliated with or supported by a UA SRP project/core is eligible to be an official Trainee and participate in our formalized RETCC activities. To achieve our goal, we have devised the following RETCC objectives: (1) Provide Trainees access to intensive and extensive training opportunities in biomedical and environmental sciences as well as data management and analysis; (2) Require Trainees to become familiar with the language and culture of multiple scientific disciplines through our Colloquium and professional development, data analysis, and science communication curriculum as well as attendance at professional meetings encompassing different disciplines; (3) Require Trainees to participate in one research translation or community engagement activity related to our Center goals; (4) Require Trainees to understand best practices in the responsible conduct of research; (5) Incorporate community-engaged research concepts and experience into each Trainee’s education; and (6) Provide multi-mentor apprenticeship opportunities to our Trainees. By addressing our objectives, the RETCC will produce passionate, mission-driven, environmentally aware scientists trained to address the social and ethical aspects of resource extraction and to consider the impacts of mining on community health and well-being as well as the production, use, and reuse of metals.
