Project Summary Abstract This proposal is in response to RFA-ES-06-09, Short Term Educational Experiences for Research (STEER) in the Environmental Health Sciences for Undergraduates and High School Students is being submitted by the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The title of our project is¿ Connecting Students to Environmental Health Researchers ¿.Students in this proposal include both undergraduate and high school students. The central goal of this proposed program for short term educational experiences for research is to connect undergraduate and high school students with investigators involved in environmental health research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. This research could range from studies at the molecular level up to population- based studies. Secondary goals include: 1) increasing the awareness of these students of the opportunities for research careers in the field of environmental health; 2) increasing the number of students aware of these career opportunities by accepting students from different colleges and universities and high schools; and 3) increasing the number of students that apply to undergraduate or graduate programs relevant to environmental health. In addition to their research experience , students will attend a weekly seminar and journal club in environmental health and tour various core facilities. The culminating activity of this summer research experience will be that the students, in conjunction with their mentors, will develop an abstract and poster of their research for a Research Symposium dedicated for this program All faculty, students and staff in the Department will be invited to attend and all attendees will be given a copy of an abstract booklet. As part of our evaluation plan, we will include an exit survey. We are particularly interested in learning what the students¿ knowledge about environmental health was when they entered the program versus when they ended the program. We will also query about their knowledge of the scientific method, and methods before and after participating .The longer-term goal is to assess whether the students that come through this program enter into undergraduate science programs (in the case of high school students), or science graduate programs (in the case of undergraduates), particularly in an environmental health related discipline.

项目摘要摘要 该提议是对RFA-ES-06-09的回应，在约翰·霍普金斯彭博公共卫生学院的环境健康科学部提交了环境健康科学的环境健康科学研究（Steer）的短期教育经验（Steer）。我们项目的标题是将学生与环境卫生研究人员联系起来。该提案中的学生包括本科生和高中生。该计划为研究的短期教育经验的拟议计划的核心目标是将本科生和高中学生与参与约翰·霍普金斯·彭博公共卫生学院环境健康研究的调查人员联系起来。这项研究的范围从分子水平的研究到基于人群的研究。次要目标包括：1）提高这些学生对环境健康领域研究职业机会的认识； 2）通过接受来自不同学院，大学和高中的学生来增加了解这些职业机会的学生； 3）增加适用于与环境健康有关的本科或研究生课程的学生人数。除了研究经验外，学生还将参加环境健康和游览各种核心设施的每周节目和期刊俱乐部。这个夏季研究经验的最终活动将是，与他们的导师一起，学生将为该计划提供研究研讨会的抽象和海报，所有教师，该系的学生和员工都将邀请参加，所有与会者都将获得一份抽象书的副本。作为我们评估计划的一部分，我们将包括一项退出调查。我们特别有兴趣了解学生对环境健康的了解是在结束计划时进入计划时的知识。我们还将询问他们对参与前后的科学方法的了解，以及参与前后的方法。长期目标是评估通过该计划的学生（对于高中生）或科学研究生课程（在本科生的情况下），尤其是与环境健康相关的学科。
