The Training Core aims to produce doctoral level engineers and scientists with the interdisciplinary educational experience necessary to address complex research problems posed by hazardous waste sites. The Core, with 27 training faculty, will be directed by a committee of 6 experienced members spanning the disciplinary scope of the Superfund program and closely connected with other toxicology programs and a variety of graduate groups on campus. Our strong recruitment program in toxicological sciences is complemented by continued emphasis on nonbiological projects, for which the excellent UC Davis graduate programs in chemistry, engineering, hydrogeology and soil science are a great asset. While fulfilling course requirements of their respective graduate group programs, the students, from diverse backgrounds, will be encouraged in preparatory coursework to take advantage of an extensive menu of relevant courses to gain interdisciplinary expertise. In addition, their education will be enriched by (i) attendance at Superfund-supported series of campus seminars to be given by leading environmental health scientists; (ii) practical experience in the regulatory environment through research translation activities; (iii) presentations of their own research results at national meetings, at monthly meetings of Superfund investigators, at the annual Superfund tri-program meeting and at annual retreats/symposia co-sponsored with other toxicologically oriented campus programs; and (iv) special hands on training offered by the Analytical Core, the DNA Microarray, Proteomics and Metabolomics Core and facilities specializing in interdisciplinary research (Molecular Structure Facility, Center for Excellence in Environmental Engineering and Water Resources, John Muir Institute for the Environment). Selection of candidates for 4 trainee slots (university contribution) will be on the basis of academic credentials (GPA, recommendation letters) and a research proposal. Trainee progress will be monitored by periodic review of coursework, research summaries, participation in Superfund meetings, and timely fulfillment of academic requirements (e.g., qualifying examination). The Training Committee will also select applicants for the innovative Distinguished Undergraduate Summer Research Training Program, which promotes graduate school matriculation and careers in environmental health sciences with an emphasis on minority undergraduates.

培训核心旨在培养具有跨学科教育经验的博士级工程师和科学家，以解决危险废物场提出的复杂研究问题。该核心拥有 27 名培训教师，将由 6 名经验丰富的成员组成的委员会领导，该委员会涵盖超级基金的各个学科范围 项目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。我们在毒理学科学方面强大的招聘计划与对非生物项目的持续重视相辅相成，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巨大的财富。在满足各自研究生课程的课程要求的同时，来自不同背景的学生将被鼓励在预科课程中利用广泛的相关课程来获得跨学科专业知识。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环境健康科学家举办的一系列校园研讨会； (ii) 通过研究翻译活动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、超级基金三项计划年度会议以及与其他以毒理学为导向的校园计划共同主办的年度务虚会/研讨会上介绍自己的研究成果； (iv) 分析核心、DNA 微阵列、蛋白质组学和代谢组学核心及设施提供的特殊实践培训 专门从事跨学科研究（分子结构设施、环境工程和水资源卓越中心、约翰·缪尔环境研究所）。 4 个实习生名额（大学贡献）候选人的选择将根据学历（GPA、推荐信）和研究计划进行。将通过定期审查课程作业、研究总结、参与情况来监测学员的进度 超级基金会议，并及时满足学术要求（例如资格考试）。培训委员会还将挑选创新的杰出本科生暑期研究培训计划的申请人，该计划促进研究生入学和环境健康科学领域的职业发展，重点是少数族裔本科生。
