项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Environmental Health Sciences Division, in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley, proposes to provide a summer research internship for undergraduate and high school students to introduce them to the field of environmental health with the long-term aim of increasing the number of talented students who pursue graduate degrees and careers in this field. Students will be recruited from the University of California, Berkeley, other San Francisco Bay Area colleges and universities, and local high schools. Students admitted to the program will be matched to faculty conducting environmental health research of interest to the intern. Student interns will conduct research with the designated faculty member and members of the research team, including staff scientists, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, when appropriate and in accordance with the learning objectives. The interns will also attend seminars including ones on Environmental Health Sciences, the Responsible Conduct of Science, and a Research Discussion Group. They will meet weekly with their faculty mentor. The faculty mentors will define projects suitable for the intern, monitor the interns' progress on a weekly basis, and provide written feedback on the performance of the intern and the structure and administration of the program. Likewise, the interns will provide written and verbal feedback about their mentor and the STEER program as a whole. Research projects may include direct data collection, patient interaction, laboratory experiments, computer-based modeling, and data analysis, among others. Grant management will establish a Campus Advisory Committee to ensure that the summer internship program benefits from the experience and services available on the campus. It will also establish an Internal Advisory Committee made up of project management, faculty and students. It will develop an effective recruitment process and an evaluation process to ensure the program continuously improves over the five-year period of the grant.

描述（由申请人提供）加州大学伯克利分校的公共卫生学院环境卫生科学系提议为本科和高中生提供夏季研究实习，将他们介绍给环境健康领域，长期目标是增加从事这一领域的研究生和职业的才华横溢的学生人数。学生将从加利福尼亚大学，伯克利分校，其他旧金山湾区学院和大学以及当地高中招募学生。接受该计划的学生将与实习生进行环境健康研究的教师相匹配。学生实习生将在适当的情况下与指定的教职员工和研究团队成员进行研究，包括员工科学家，研究生和博士后学者。实习生还将参加包括环境健康科学，负责任的科学行为和研究讨论小组的研讨会。他们将每周与教师导师见面。教师导师将定义适合实习生的项目，每周监视实习生的进度，并就实习生的绩效以及计划的结构和管理提供书面反馈。同样，实习生将提供有关他们的导师和整体方案的书面反馈。研究项目可能包括直接数据收集，患者互动，实验室实验，基于计算机的建模和数据分析等。 Grant Management将成立一个校园咨询委员会，以确保暑期实习计划受益于校园可用的经验和服务。它还将建立一个由项目管理，教职员工和学生组成的内部咨询委员会。它将开发有效的招聘过程和评估过程，以确保该计划在赠款的五年期间不断改进。
