This proposal is for doctoral and post-doctoral training in an interdisciplinary program in environmental sciences for the students and fellows participating in the biomedical and non-biomedical research projects and core laboratories of the Superfund Basic Research Program. The purpose of this Core is to brain the trainees together in a series of educational enrichment activities so that they can learn about each other's disciplines as well as about environmental problem solving. The educational enrichment activities will consist of: (1) an interdisciplinary training seminar series; (2) case-study team projects; (3) rotations outside the university; and (4) selected short course. The interdisciplinary training seminar series will meet monthly and will draw on the program faculty additional Columbia faculty and outside speakers to cover a wide range of topics relevant to environmental professionals. For the case-study team projects the trainees will work together as a multi-disciplinary group on specific environmental projects over the course of a semester that allows them to analyze an environmental problem from various perspectives and submit a written report with their conclusions and recommendations. Through contacts of the program outside the university with governmental and non-governmental organizations, international agencies, corporations, and community and public interest groups, trainees will be expected to select a rotation of up to one month per year where they can gain exposure to environmental problem solving in applied, real-world settings. Additional course work will cover: ethical conduct of research, workshops on Geographic Information Systems, Online Information Resources Management, and Risk Assessment, Communication and Management; additional electives on topics relevant to environmental sciences. Through this Core, we will produce a new type of doctoral-level environmental professional who can address environmental issues with a multi-dimensional perspective and who can pursue traditional, academic as well as non-traditional, non-academic careers in environmental sciences.

本提案旨在为参与超级基金基础研究计划的生物医学和非生物医学研究项目和核心实验室的学生和研究员提供环境科学跨学科项目的博士和博士后培训。该核心课程的目的是通过一系列教育丰富活动让学员一起思考，以便他们能够了解彼此的学科以及解决环境问题的方法。教育丰富活动将包括： (1) 跨学科培训研讨会系列； (2) 案例研究小组项目； （三）校外轮转； (4)精选短期课程。跨学科培训研讨会系列将每月举行一次，并将吸引该项目的教员、哥伦比亚大学教员和外部演讲者，涵盖与环境专业人士相关的广泛主题。对于案例研究团队项目，学员将在一个学期的时间内作为一个多学科小组共同研究特定的环境项目，使他们能够从不同的角度分析环境问题，并提交包含结论和建议的书面报告。通过该项目在校外与政府和非政府组织、国际机构、公司以及社区和公共利益团体的联系，学员将每年选择最多一个月的轮换，在那里他们可以接触到环境在实际应用环境中解决问题。其他课程内容将包括：研究的道德行为、地理信息系统研讨会、在线信息资源管理以及风险评估、沟通和管理；与环境科学相关的主题的额外选修课。通过这一核心，我们将培养新型的博士级环境专业人士，他们能够以多维视角解决环境问题，能够从事环境科学领域的传统、学术以及非传统、非学术职业。
