This application is the first competing continuation of a T32 Institutional Training Grant in Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) entitled: “Translational Research Training Program in EHS” (T32-ES019851) at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). This training grant is the only dedicated mechanism to support formalized EHS research training at the pre- and post-doctoral level at Penn and meets a significant need based on trainee interest in the environment and its health impact and biomedical work force need. The mission of the T32 Training Program is to train the next generation of environmental health scientists in the mechanisms by which environmental exposures cause disease and to translate these findings into effective prevention and treatment and improvements in public health. The training program emphasizes the four pillars of translational research, bench, bedside, community and policy. The research training reflects the translational research themes of Penn's P30 Environmental Health Sciences Core Center, the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET). These themes have been dictated by the incidence of disease that have environmental etiology that affect the Philadelphia region, the physical location of Penn. Training is provided through course work from the Certificate Program in EHS which includes an optional Community Environmental Health Rotation, by conducting a full-time translational research project co- mentored where possible by a basic-scientist and clinician scientist to generate new knowledge in EHS. The 42 distinguished training grant faculty come from Penn and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and 14 are clinician scientists. The training grant supports common elements including a research club, a dedicated seminar series, an annual symposium dedicated to a translational research theme and optional externships at US EPA, ATSDR and the Silent Spring Institute for trainees interested in policy and human health assessment. The T32 award currently supports three predoctoral fellows to conduct dissertation research on an EHS topic and four postdoctoral fellows to perform mentored EHS research. Predoctoral trainees are supported for a total of three years (2nd year completion of the Certificate Program in EHS and two years dissertation research) and postdoctoral trainees are supported for up to two years. Trainees will be prepared for a suite of careers in the employment sector e.g. academia (in EHS, Pharmacology and Toxicology), government agencies (e.g. US- EPA, CDC, FDA, NTP, NIEHS); and industry (drug, food, cosmetic and nanotechnology). Fifteen trainees were supported in the first four years of this training program and published 41 papers; all the postdoctoral fellows that have left the program have assumed faculty positions. In the next cycle of funding we request an identical number of predoctoral (3) and postdoctoral slots (4).

该申请是环境卫生中T32机构培训补助金的首次竞争延续 科学（EHS）题为：“ EHS的转化研究培训计划”（T32-ES019851） 宾夕法尼亚大学（宾夕法尼亚大学）。这项培训补助金是唯一支持正式化的专用机制 EHS在宾夕法尼亚州博士前后的研究培训，并根据 受训者对环境的兴趣及其健康影响和生物医学劳动力的需求。任务 T32培训计划是培训下一代环境健康科学家 环境暴露引起疾病并将这些发现转化为 有效的预防和治疗以及公共卫生的改善。培训计划强调 转化研究，长凳，床边，社区和政策的四个支柱。研究培训反映了 宾夕法尼亚州P30环境健康科学核心中心的转化研究主题， 卓越环境毒理学（CEET）。这些主题是由事件决定的 具有影响费城地区的环境病因的疾病，宾夕法尼亚州的身体位置。 EHS证书计划的课程工作提供了培训，其中包括可选的 通过进行全日制翻译研究项目共同进行社区环境健康旋转 基本科学家和临床科学家在可能的情况下进行指导，以在EHS中产生新知识。这 42杰出的培训赠款教师来自宾夕法尼亚州和费城儿童医院，14位是 临床科学家。培训补助金支持共同的要素，包括研究俱乐部，一个专门的 研讨会系列，每年致力于翻译的研究主题和可选的实质性研讨会 美国EPA，ATSDR和寂静的春季学员对政策和人类健康评估感兴趣的学员。 T32奖目前支持三个祖先研究员，以对EHS主题进行论文研究 以及四名博士后研究员进行EHS研究。总共支持托管学员 三年（EHS证书计划的第二年完成和两年的论文研究）和 博士后学员得到了长达两年的支持。学员将为一套职业做好准备 就业部门，例如Academia（在EHS，药理学和毒理学），政府机构（例如US- EPA，CDC，FDA，NTP，NIEHS）;和工业（毒品，食品，化妆品和纳米技术）。十五名学员 在该培训计划的前四年获得了支持，并发表了41篇论文；所有的博士后 离开该计划的研究员已经担任了教师职位。在下一个资金周期中，我们要求 相同数量的杂物（3）和博士后插槽（4）。
