项目摘要

The environmental challenge posed by Superfund chemicals is of high magnitude and affects several aspects of human life. The aim of the University of Kentucky Superfund Program is studying the effects of nutrition on the toxicity of Superfund chemicals, detection of these chemicals and their remediation. To solve any environmental problems, the emerging researchers should have specific scientific training, broad knowledge of different disciplines and be effective communicators. The Training Core plans to address this need through cross-disciplinary graduate education and a training program in environmental sciences. The collaboration of the Training Core with the individual projects and the other Cores of the UK-SBRP will expose our trainees to both basic and applied research. In addition to their involvement in individual projects, trainees will be introduced to (a) proteomics, EPA methods, and Bioinformatics and Systems Biology in Toxicology though workshops organized by the Research Support Core (Core B); (b) Research Translation strategies through workshops and participation in the activities of the Research Translation Core (Core C); and (c) real environmental problems through participation in the activities of the Community Outreach Core in communities residing close to Superfund sites. The goals of the Training Core are (i) to provide thorough training of students in their specific field, (ii) to instill basic knowledge about socioeconomic, law, engineering and science aspects, (iii) to enhance the ability of students to communicate with scientists as well as non-scientists. In addition to providing student stipents, the Training Core will make available travel funds to student trainees and postdoctoral scholars to present their Superfund-related research at scientific conferences. Emphasis will be placed on identifying and recruiting motivated individuals and students from underrepresented groups through brochures, web page, and presentations at minority institutions. The Training Core program will be evaluated on a regular basis to assess the progress in meeting the goals of the program. This will be accomplished by, first, evaluating the progress of the trainees toward their educational goals, and second, in terms of how the trainees view and value the program.

超级基金化学品提出的环境挑战量很高，影响了几个人类生活的各个方面。肯塔基大学超级基金计划的目的是研究超级基金化学物质毒性的营养，这些化学物质的检测及其修复。解决任何环境问题，新兴的研究人员都应进行特定的科学培训，广泛了解不同学科并成为有效的沟通者。培训核心计划解决这个问题通过跨学科研究生教育和环境科学培训计划的需求。这培训核心与单个项目和英国SBRP的其他核心的合作将使我们的学员接受基础研究和应用研究。除了他们参与个人项目，学员将被介绍（a）蛋白质组学，EPA方法以及生物信息学和系统毒理学生物学尽管研究支持核心组织的研讨会（核心B）；（b）研究通过研讨会和参与研究翻译核心活动的翻译策略（核心C）; （c）通过参与社区活动的真正环境问题靠近超级基金网站附近社区的外展核心。训练核心的目标是（i）（ii）对学生进行彻底培训，以灌输有关社会经济的基本知识，法律，工程和科学方面（iii）增强学生与科学家沟通的能力以及非科学家。除了提供学生经验外，培训核心还将提供向学生学员和博士后学者提供旅行资金，以介绍与超级基金相关的研究科学会议。重点将放在识别和招募有动力的个人和来自少数群体的小册子，网页和演讲的人数不足的团体的学生机构。培训核心计划将定期评估，以评估实现该计划的目标。首先要评估学员的进度来实现这一目标在学员如何看待和重视计划方面，实现他们的教育目标，其次。
