UofL Environmental Health Sciences Training Program

描述（由申请人提供） 调查人员已经在他们的环境健康科学培训计划的战略变化，以响应宣布的重组和NIEHS培训计划的重定向。 参与中心，研究所和学校以及培训教师的43名成员为尖端基础科学，临床研究，计算科学和公共卫生提供关键资源。 环境健康科学的合作伙伴关系导致了一个非常成功的NIEHS环境健康科学培训计划，最近还资助了NIEHS P30环境基因组学和综合生物学中心（CEGIB）。更新提案纳入并整合了几个新的学校，中心和研究所，包括CEGIB，临床和转化科学研究所以及公共卫生和信息科学学院。 研究人员提出了一个大大改进的博士前和博士后培训计划，作为环境健康科学的跨学科和综合方法的保护伞。该培训计划将支持6名博士前和3名博士后学员。 最初的学生招聘和博士前学员的资金是由路易斯维尔大学综合项目在生物医学科学招聘门户提供的。 与第一周期一样，博士前学员将不会直接被招聘到环境卫生科学培训计划。 所有的教师导师被要求提名谁已经完成了批准的论文建议与环境健康科学研究的明确重点的学员。 教师导师将被要求提名现有的博士后研究员（例如那些已经被录取到临床化学和毒理学转化科学计划）或从受训人员中招募。 将特别鼓励导师团队（基础和临床科学家或基础和人口科学家）强调多学科培训和将基础科学发现转化为患者和/或社区的重要性。 该培训计划促进多学科方法进行有效干预，并与NIH路线图以及NIEHS和路易斯维尔大学的战略计划非常好地对接。 背景 这是路易斯维尔大学环境健康科学培训计划的第一次竞争性更新。 该培训计划的目标已在本申请中进行了修订，以成为路易斯维尔大学环境健康科学跨学科和综合方法的更大保护伞。导师人数从19名导师和13名协理导师增加到43名导师。 环境健康科学伙伴关系导致最近资助的NIEHS P30环境基因组学和综合生物学中心（CEGIB）。 该培训计划将支持6名博士前和3名博士后学员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The investigators have made strategic changes in their environmental health sciences training program in response to the announced restructuring and redirection of NIEHS training programs. Participating Centers, Institutes, and Schools and the 43 members of the training faculty provide critical resources for cutting edge basic science, clinical research, computational sciences and public health. Environmental health science partnerships have resulted in a very successful NIEHS Training Program in environmental health sciences and recently in the funding of a NIEHS P30 Center for Environmental Genomics and Integrative Biology (CEGIB). The renewal proposal incorporates and integrates several new Schools, Centers, and Institutes, including CEGIB, the Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, and the School of Public Health and Information Sciences. The investigators propose a substantially improved pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training program that serves as an umbrella for interdisciplinary and integrated approaches to environmental health sciences. The training program will support six pre-doctoral and three postdoctoral trainees. Initial student recruitment and funding for pre-doctoral trainees is provided by the University of Louisville Integrated Programs in the Biomedical Sciences recruitment gateway. As in the first cycle, pre-doctoral trainees will not be recruited directly into the environmental health sciences training program. All faculty mentors are asked to nominate trainees who have completed an approved dissertation proposal with a defined focus in environmental health sciences research. Faculty mentors will be asked to nominate either existing postdoctoral fellows (for example those already matriculated into the Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology Translational Sciences Program) or from trainees to be recruited. Teams of mentors (basic and clinical scientists or basic and population-based scientists) will be particularly encouraged to emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary training and translation of basic science findings to the patient and/or community. The training program facilitates multidisciplinary approaches for effective intervention and interfaces exceptionally well with the NIH Roadmap as well as with the strategic plans of the NIEHS and the University of Louisville. BACKGROUND This is the first competitive renewal of the University of Louisville Environmental Health Sciences Training Program. The goal of this Training Program has been revised in this application to turn into a bigger umbrella for interdisciplinary and integrated approaches to environmental health sciences at the University of Louisville. The number of mentors has increased from 19 mentors and 13 associate mentors to 43 mentors. Environmental health science partnerships have led to a recently funded NIEHS P30 Center for Environmental Genomics and Integrative Biology (CEGIB). The training program will support 6 pre-doctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees.
