DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The primary objective of the Summer Education Experience in Research (SEER) in Toxicology is to provide 6 students with an opportunity to participate actively in ongoing research together with an educational seminar series that provides a background in research in environmental health sciences. The immediate goals are to provide a research experience for students at a critical time of career decision-making and to develop the research skills and expose the students to the potential and excitement of research careers. The long-term goal is to recruit these students into the Toxicology doctoral program. Students will have hands-on responsibilities in research projects in which reasonable conclusions can be obtained in a 9-week period, and will spend 85% of their time in the laboratory. Research opportunities in specialty areas of Oxidative Stress, DNA Repair and Mutagenesis, Biochemical Toxicology, and Chlorinated Organics and Cardiovascular Toxicity are provided by a group of 17 faculty members with experience in mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. Students will work with faculty who are primarily Core and Joint Faculty in the Graduate Center for Toxicology and who are Training Grant Faculty on the Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity NIEHS T32 Training Grant or the Superfund Training Core. Students will be recruited from the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) as the continuation of a program for students from UPR that has been cosponsored by the University of Kentucky (UK) and UPR for about 9 years, and was supported by an NIEHS T35 program from 2001 - 2006. The investigators will work with experienced faculty from the UPR to identify and recruit students for the SEER Toxicology program. Applicants must provide their student transcripts and will be interviewed by the UPR faculty to identify those with the maturity and academic excellence to succeed in a summer research experience. The UPR faculty will send the applications of the best students to Dr. Vore, who will review them along with 2 other UK faculty mentors, and select the top 6 applicants. This group will also match the interests of the applicants with those of the faculty who are able to work with the students in any given summer. A seminar series that exposes students to the broader issues in the environmental health sciences is also provided, along with seminars on the responsible conduct of research, and a presentation of how to prepare and apply for Graduate School. Students will make a 15-minute presentation of their research findings in a symposium-type format at the end of the summer. A plan for evaluating student satisfaction, the effectiveness of mentors and the program has been developed and will be used to enhance the program in ensuing years.

描述（由申请人提供） 夏季研究经验（SEER）毒理学的主要目标是为6名学生提供积极参与正在进行的研究的机会，并提供一个教育研讨会系列，该系列提供了环境健康科学研究的背景。直接的目标是在职业决策的关键时刻为学生提供研究经验，并发展研究技能，并使学生接触研究职业的潜在和兴奋。长期目标是将这些学生招募到毒理学博士学位课程中。学生将在研究项目中承担动手责任，在研究项目中可以在9周内获得合理的结论，并将其在实验室花费85％的时间。一组有17名教职员工在指导研究生和本科生方面经验，提供了氧化应激，DNA修复和诱变，生化毒理学以及氯化有机物和心血管毒性的研究机会。学生将与主要是毒理学研究生中心的核心和联合教师的教师合作，并正在培训授予授权教师，以介绍毒性NIEHS T32培训补助金或超级基金培训核心的分子机制。学生将被从波多黎各大学（UPR）招募，作为一个由UPR的学生延续的计划，该计划由肯塔基大学（英国）和UPR辅助9年，并得到了2001年至2006年的NIEHS T35计划的支持，调查人员将与IPR的经验丰富的学院合作。申请人必须提供他们的成绩单，并将接受UPR教师的采访，以确定那些在夏季研究经验中取得成功的成熟和学术卓越的人。 UPR教师将将最佳学生的申请发送给Vore博士，Vore博士将与其他2位英国教师导师一起审查他们，并选择前6名申请人。该小组还将将申请人的兴趣与能够在任何给定夏天与学生合作的教师的利益匹配。还提供了一个研讨会系列，该系列还提供了环境健康科学中更广泛的问题，以及有关负责任的研究进行的研讨会，以及如何准备和申请研究生院的演讲。学生将在夏季结束时以研讨会形式对研究结果进行15分钟的介绍。一项评估学生满意度，导师和计划的有效性的计划，并将用于随后几年来增强该计划。
