DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Environmental Pathology Program at the University of California-Davis (UC-Davis), currently entering its 29th year, supports a subspecialty group of veterinary pathology trainees whose research and career interests are in health effects of environmental agents. This program is a part of a larger research Training Program in Pathogenesis of Diseases administered by the Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology (PMI) and the Graduate Group in Comparative Pathology. This is a 6 year overall program leading to American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) board eligibility and the Ph.D. trainees are supported during their graduate and research program after completing their clinical training in anatomic pathology. Partcipants receive training in comparative pathology, basic cell biology, the cell and molecular basis of disease, and biochemical toxicology and do research activity in faculty laboratories sufficient to qualify for the Ph.D. degree. Training faculty are selected by the applicability of their research program on human environmental health issues. This request is for 3, three year postdoctoral positions which, when combined with students supported by other resources, forms a core of postdoctoral professionals who exists in a self-teaching hierarchy of experience under the mentorship of an interdisciplinary and well funded training faculty. Also requested is one pre-doctoral position to be used for minority recruitment in the DVM Ph.D. program. The foundation of the training program is the established interaction at UC-Davis between the academic discipline of pathology and strong environmentally-orientated research centers, principally in the California Primate Research Center, the Center for Health and Environment, the Departments of PMI, Molecular Biosciences and Anatomy, Physiology and Cell Biology (Veterinary School), Environmental Toxicology (College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences), and Internal Medicine (School of Medicine). The training uses the format of a specially-tailored Ph.D. degree program in Comparative Pathology. The first 12 months of the 3 to 4-year research program are spent primarily in advanced coursework appropriate to pathology and an introduction to the environmental research programs through seminars and rotations in research laboratories. Trainees next perform a thesis project under the direction of one of the training faculty. Currently active areas include reproductive toxicants, hazards posed by air pollutants and environmental cardiology. BACKGROUND This is a competing continuation application for a training program in Environmental Pathology that has been funded for 29 years. Funds are requested to support 3 postdoctoral positions and one pre-doctoral position. The program is somewhat unique in that the majority of participants have veterinary medical degrees and it provides training in clinical veterinary pathology in addition to research experience as part of the program. At the end of the postdoctoral program trainees are expected to have completed requirements for the Ph.D. degree and are board eligible for ACVP certification. Support is requested for the three-year research portion of the six-year postdoctoral training curriculum. New to this application is the addition of one pre-doctoral training slot within the three-year research portion of the combined Ph.D./D.V.M veterinary scientist training program. The addition of the pre-doctoral slot is requested to facilitate recruitment of trainees from underrepresented minorities. Also new to this application are the addition of components to provide training in presentation skills, literature reviews, increased seminar participation and the availability of new research facilities including microarray and microimaging equipment.

描述（由申请人提供） 加州戴维斯分校（UC-DAVIS）的环境病理学计划目前已进入其29年，它支持了一个专业的兽医病理学学员，其研究和职业兴趣对环境代理的健康影响。 该计划是病理学，微生物学和免疫学部（PMI）和比较病理学研究生组的疾病发病机理的更大研究培训计划的一部分。 这是一项为期6年的总体计划，导致美国兽医学院（ACVP）董事会资格和博士学位。在完成解剖病理学的临床培训后，学员在研究生和研究计划期间得到了支持。 党派接受了比较病理学，基本细胞生物学，疾病的细胞和分子基础以及生化毒理学的培训，并在足以获得博士学位的教师实验室中进行研究活动。程度。培训教师是通过其有关人类环境健康问题的研究计划的适用性选择的。 该要求是3年，三年的博士后职位，与其他资源支持的学生相结合，在跨学科和资助良好的培训教师的指导下，在经验的自学经验层次结构中构成了博士后专业人员的核心。 还要求使用DVM博士学位的少数族裔招募的博士前职位。程序。该培训计划的基础是在病理学学科和强大的以环境为导向的研究中心（主要位于加利福尼亚灵长类动物研究中心，健康与环境中心，PMI），分子生物科学部门，卫生与环境中心，分子生物科学中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心，分子研究中心建立了既定的互动。以及解剖学，生理学和细胞生物学（兽医学院），环境毒理学（农业与环境科学学院）和内科（医学院）。该培训使用专门定制的博士学位的格式。比较病理学的学位课程。 3至4年研究计划的前12个月主要用于适合病理学的高级课程，并通过研究实验室的研讨会和轮换对环境研究计划进行介绍。接下来，学员在培训教师之一的指导下进行论文项目。目前的活跃地区包括生殖有毒物质，空气污染物和环境心脏病学构成的危害。 背景 这是对环境病理学培训计划的竞争连续性申请，该计划已经资助了29年。 要求资金支持3个博士后职位和一个博士后职位。 该计划在某种程度上是独一无二的，因为大多数参与者拥有兽医医学学位，并且除了研究经验外，还提供了临床兽医病理学的培训。 在博士后计划结束时，学员有望完成博士学位的要求。学位，是符合ACVP认证的董事会资格。 要求支持六年的博士后培训课程的三年研究部分。 该应用程序的新手是在合并博士学位的三年研究部分中增加了一个博士前的培训插槽。 要求增加博物前的老虎机来促进从代表性不足的少数群体中招募受训者。 此应用程序的新内容还增加了组件，以提供演讲技巧，文献综述，研讨会的增加以及包括微阵列和微型成像设备在内的新研究设施的培训。
