The proposed Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Toxicology (SURE Tox) program at the University of Illinois will provide high quality research experiences for under-represented minority undergraduate students during the summer academic break. The SURE Tox program will have its own identity, but it will also complement existing funded programs for undergraduate and medical students at the University of Illinois such as the Environmental Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program, the Summer Research Opportunities Program, the Toxicology Scholars Program, and the Summer Research Program for Veterinary Medical Students. The program will involve active participation by faculty members from several departments and colleges at the University of Illinois, all of whom have expertise in environmental health/toxicology and experience training undergraduate students. The proposed training program will enroll 7 junior and senior undergraduate students who will spend 10 weeks over the summer in the program. The specific goals of the program are to: 1) match participants with faculty mentors who will direct the student to complete a hypothesis-driven project in the field of environmental health/toxicology, 2) help each student learn laboratory techniques and research skills, 3) provide didactic training on animal use in research, the responsible conduct of research, and use of the electronic library, 4) train students to prepare scientific talks and posters and to present their work at scientific meetings, 5) provide networking opportunities for students to meet other students and faculty members in research, 6) provide students with information on academic vs. industry careers in toxicology, and 7) provide each participant the opportunity to participate in GRE Institute workshops to prepare for the Graduate Record Exam. At the conclusion of the program, the students will present their work at the Illinois Summer Research Symposium held on campus. This training program will provide a unique opportunity for undergraduate students, specifically minority students, to obtain training and research experience in the field of environmental health/ toxicology at a research intensive university with outstanding toxicology programs.

拟议的暑期本科生毒理学研究经验（SURE Tox）计划 伊利诺伊大学将为代表性不足的少数群体提供高质量的研究经验 暑假期间的本科生。 SURE Tox 计划将有自己的 身份，但它也将补充现有的本科生和医学生资助项目 伊利诺伊大学，如环境跨学科毒理学项目、夏季研究 机会计划、毒理学学者计划和兽医暑期研究计划 医学生。该计划将由多个院系的教职员工积​​极参与 和伊利诺伊大学的学院，所有这些学院都拥有环境健康/毒理学方面的专业知识和 培养本科生的经验。 拟议的培训计划将招收7名大三和高年级本科生，为期10周 整个夏天都在计划中。该计划的具体目标是：1）将参与者与教师相匹配 导师将指导学生完成环境领域的假设驱动项目 健康/毒理学，2）帮助每个学生学习实验室技术和研究技能，3）提供教学 关于研究中动物使用、负责任的研究行为以及电子图书馆的使用的培训，4) 培训学生准备科学演讲和海报，并在科学会议上展示他们的作品，5) 提供 为学生提供在研究中结识其他学生和教职人员的交流机会，6) 提供 向学生提供有关毒理学学术与行业职业的信息，并且 7) 为每位参与者提供 有机会参加 GRE 学院研讨会，为研究生入学考试做准备。在 项目结束后，学生将在伊利诺伊州夏季研究研讨会上展示他们的工作 在校园举行。该培训计划将为本科生提供独特的机会， 特别是少数民族学生，以获得环境健康领域的培训和研究经验/ 一所研究密集型大学的毒理学，拥有出色的毒理学课程。
