项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the proposed career development proposal is to provide the principal investigator with environmental health training to support the development of scientific independence through two main mechanisms. First, the principle investigator will participate in didactic course work to remediate in concepts central to the field of environmental health. Courses include basic preparation in domestic and global environmental health, toxicology, water quality and regulation, occupational health, and industrial hygiene. The principal investigator will also spend significant time in preparation related to responsible conduct of human subjects research. Second, this project proposes to nest new but complimentary research aims into an ongoing study focusing on children's environmental health. Specifically, this research seeks to understand relationships between environmental risk reduction (ERR) actions, ERR self-efficacy, ERR knowledge, and risk perceptions for environmental exposures of high indoor moisture and methylmercury among a sample of low income rural women of childbearing age in Montana and Washington. To ensure success in the principal investigator's development and proposed research aims, two senior environmental scientists have been selected to provide mentorship. Mentoring activities will take place at the University of Washington and Montana State University and include continuous planning for the principal investigator's career development, collaborative work related to research aims, preparation of manuscripts and presentations for dissemination, networking across Montana and the United States, and planning for future research funding. This career development proposal is significant in two ways. First, the development and research processes outlined will prepare the principal investigator for an independent career in environmental health nursing research. As translational research is becoming increasingly important to prevent environmentally attributable disease, nursing as a profession and an important public health stakeholder, must have a cadre of scientists engaged in examining environmental/health interactions. Second, data generated from this proposal will inform interventions targeting low income rural populations with environmental risk reduction education to prevent or abate environmental exposures in the home.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的职业发展提案的目的是为首席研究员提供环境健康培训，以通过两种主要机制支持科学独立性的发展。首先，首席研究员将参与教学课程工作，以纠正环境健康领域的核心概念。课程包括国内和全球环境健康、毒理学、水质和监管、职业健康和工业卫生方面的基础准备。主要研究者还将花费大量时间来准备与负责任地进行人类受试者研究相关的准备。其次，该项目建议将新的但互补的研究目标纳入一项正在进行的关注儿童环境健康的研究中。具体来说，本研究旨在了解蒙大拿州低收入农村育龄妇女样本中降低环境风险 (ERR) 行动、ERR 自我效能、ERR 知识以及对室内高湿度和甲基汞环境暴露的风险认知之间的关系和华盛顿。为了确保首席研究员的发展和拟议的研究目标取得成功，已选定两名高级环境科学家提供指导。指导活动将在华盛顿大学和蒙大拿州立大学进行，包括对首席研究员的职业发展进行持续规划、与研究目标相关的协作工作、准备手稿和演示文稿以供传播、在蒙大拿州和美国建立网络以及规划为未来的研究提供资金。这个职业发展建议有两个重要意义。首先，概述的开发和研究过程将为主要研究者在环境健康护理研究方面的独立职业做好准备。随着转化研究对于预防环境引起的疾病变得越来越重要，护理作为一个专业和重要的公共卫生利益相关者，必须拥有一支从事研究环境/健康相互作用的科学家骨干队伍。其次，该提案生成的数据将为针对低收入农村人口的干预措施提供信息，通过减少环境风险教育来预防或减轻家庭环境暴露。
