项目摘要

ABSTRACT Chicago’s South and West Sides represent one of the nation’s most notable urban environmental justice areas, facing significant disparities in disease risk and outcomes. The need for environmental health research in Chicago is highlighted by the dramatic racial/ethnic health disparities observed for multiple diseases and outcomes. In 2017, the “ChicAgo Center for Health and EnvironmenT (CACHET)” was established – the first NIH P30 Environmental Health Core Center in the Chicago area. As the CACHET infrastructure to support scientific equipment, facilities, and other resources that can be shared among environmental health researchers has grown, so have prospective training opportunities. Because a key CACHET goal is to reduce environmental health related disparities among residents of Chicago and beyond, our theme is Mitigating Disparities in Environmental Health- the ideal context for encouraging individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in environmental research. In recent years, CACHET has promoted multidisciplinary environmental health research among clinician, laboratory, and population scientists to understand, evaluate, and ultimately reduce environmental health related disparities among residents of the region and beyond. As such, a robust structure is available to support the training of underrepresented undergraduates, with extensive research and mentoring opportunities by CACHET investigators and ongoing research opportunities in conjunction with investigators funded by the pilot projects program. Here, we propose to leverage CACHET infrastructure, energy, and its growing research portfolio to support educational activities that encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue further studies or careers in EHS research through the Chicago UP on the Environmental Health Sciences Program (Chicago UP on EHS). To accomplish this goal, we will: 1) provide 2-year mentored research experiences and career/skill development to individuals from underrepresented backgrounds at the undergraduate level (rising juniors from institutions across Chicago) to inspire and prepare them for further study in the environmental health sciences; 2) provide opportunities for dissemination in Chicago communities as well as in academic publications or presentations; and 3) create a strong and long-lasting network of support for students throughout their career journeys. In addition to assembling a dedicated mentor team for each individual, proving hands-on research training, and engaging support communities, we will also develop a detailed tracking system to facilitate ongoing communication with program alumni and personalized assistance as needed. The experienced leadership team has the scientific, educational, and established research programs necessary to ensure the success of Chicago UP on EHS. Through the Chicago UP on the Environmental Health Sciences Program, CACHET leadership are committed to positively impacting the career development and leveraging the exciting projects happening across Chicago to mitigate disparities for training and EHS workforce development.

抽象的芝加哥的南部和西侧是美国最著名的城市环境正义区之一，面临疾病风险和结局的重大分布。对环境健康研究的需求芝加哥被观察到多种疾病的戏剧性种族/种族健康分配所强调结果。 2017年，建立了“芝加哥卫生与环境中心（CACHET）” - 第一个 NIH P30环境卫生核心中心位于芝加哥地区。作为支持支持的Cachet基础架构可以在环境卫生研究人员中共享的科学设备，设施和其他资源已经成长了，因此有前瞻性培训机会。因为关键的oc骨目标是减少环境芝加哥及其他地区居民之间与健康有关的差异，我们的主题是减轻差距环境健康 - 鼓励从潜水员背景到钱包职业的个人的理想背景在环境研究中。近年来，Cachet促进了多学科环境健康临床，实验室和人群科学家之间的研究以理解，评估并最终减少该地区及其他地区居民之间的环境健康相关分布。因此，健壮的结构可用于支持代表性不足的本科生的培训，并进行了广泛的研究和心理 CACHET调查人员的机会和正在进行的研究机会与研究人员结合由试点项目计划资助。在这里，我们建议利用Cachet基础设施，能源及其发展研究组合以支持鼓励潜水员背景的个人的教育活动通过芝加哥在EHS研究中购买进一步的研究或职业有关环境健康科学计划（芝加哥在EHS上）。为了实现这一目标，我们将：1）提供2年的笔记从代表性不足的背景的个人进行研究经验和职业/技能发展本科级别（芝加哥各机构的大三学生）激发他们的启发并为进一步学习做好准备在环境健康科学中； 2）还提供芝加哥社区传播的机会如学术出版物或演讲中； 3）建立一个强大而持久的支持网络学生在整个职业生涯中。除了为每个人组建一个专门的心理团队外，证明动手研究培训和参与支持社区，我们还将开发详细的跟踪根据需要促进与计划校友和个性化帮助的持续沟通的系统。这经验丰富的领导团队拥有科学，教育和建立的研究计划确保芝加哥在EHS上取得成功。通过芝加哥在环境健康科学上计划，Cachet领导力致力于积极影响职业发展并利用激动人心的项目发生在芝加哥各地，以减轻培训和EHS劳动力发展的分配。
