The Training Core will select and recruit highly qualified pre- and postdoctoral trainees, maintain course offerings and enrichment programs to fill the gaps in their knowledge, and monitor their progress in Superfund research. The Core will be directed by a committee of six training faculty who are experienced in graduate education, who span the disciplinary scope of the Superfund program, and who are closely connected with other toxicology programs and a variety of graduate groups on campus. The 23 training faculty represent 21 different graduate groups from whom students will be drawn. In addition to our strong recruitment program in toxicological sciences, special emphasis will be placed on recruiting and selecting trainees for the non-biological projects, for which the excellent UC Davis graduate programs in chemistry, engineering, hydrogeology and soil science are a considerable asset. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the Superfund program and individual projects, special attention will be given to the students' preparatory coursework. In addition, their education will be enriched by (i) attendance at Superfund-supported series of campus seminars to be given by leading toxicologists and related scientists; (ii) practical experience in the regulatory environment through outreach activities and the Hazardous Material Management program of the University Extension; (iii) presentations of their own research results at national meetings, at monthly meetings of Superfund investigators, at monthly meetings of Superfund trainees with the trainees of the NIEHS Environmental Toxicology Training Grant, at the annual Superfund Tri-University meeting and at an annual retreat/symposium co-sponsored with other toxicologically oriented campus programs; and (iv) special hands-on training offered by the Analytical Core, the DNA Microarray and Homology Modeling Core and special facilities whose missions include promotion of interdisciplinary research. Selection of candidates for four trainee slots provided as a University contribution will be on the basis of academic credentials and a research proposal. Trainee progress will be monitored by a periodic review of coursework, research summaries, participation in Superfund meetings, and timely fulfillment of major graduate group requirements. This interdisciplinary educational experience will produce doctoral level engineers and scientists with the breadth of expertise necessary to address the complex research problems posed by hazardous waste sites.

培训核心将选择和招募高素质的博士前和博士后培训生，维持课程设置和强化计划以填补他们的知识空白，并监控他们在超级基金研究中的进展。该核心将由六名培训教师组成的委员会领导，他们在研究生教育方面经验丰富，涵盖超级基金项目的学科范围，并与其他毒理学项目和校园内的各种研究生团体密切联系。 23 名培训教师代表 21 个不同的研究生群体，将从中抽取学生。除了我们在毒理学科学方面强大的招聘计划外，我们还将特别重视为非生物项目招募和选拔实习生，对此，加州大学戴维斯分校在化学、工程、水文地质学和土壤科学方面优秀的研究生课程是一笔可观的资产。由于超级基金项目和个人项目的跨学科性质，我们将特别关注学生的预科课程。此外，他们的教育将通过以下方式得到丰富：(i) 参加超级基金支持的由顶尖毒理学家和相关科学家举办的一系列校园研讨会； (ii) 通过外展活动和大学扩展部的危险材料管理计划获得监管环境方面的实践经验； (iii) 在全国会议、超级基金研究人员月度会议、超级基金受训者与 NIEHS 环境毒理学培训补助金受训者月度会议、年度超级基金三大学会议和年度静修会上介绍自己的研究成果/与其他以毒理学为导向的校园项目共同主办的研讨会； (iv) 由分析核心、DNA 微阵列和同源建模核心以及其任务包括促进跨学科研究的特殊设施提供的特殊实践培训。作为大学贡献提供的四个实习生名额的候选人将根据学历和研究计划进行选择。将通过定期审查课程作业、研究总结、参加超级基金会议以及及时满足主要研究生团体的要求来监控学员的进度。这种跨学科的教育经验将培养博士级工程师和科学家，他们拥有解决危险废物场提出的复杂研究问题所需的广泛专业知识。
