DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The summer program proposed in this grant application will introduce undergraduate students to the field of environmental health sciences as part of the existing Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) at Rutgers University. The purpose of SURF is to provide undergraduates with 10-week basic science and translational research experiences in preparation for careers in biomedical research. Since its inception, SURF has provided 30 undergraduates with summer research experiences and this proposal will establish an additional 10 fellowships for students to conduct research in toxicology and environmental sciences. Strong applications from talented students will be identified by scholastic achievement, letters of recommendation, and compelling personal statements. Recruitment strategies have been designed to attract students from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds into the fellowship program. Under the guidance and instruction of NIH-funded investigators, SURF students will conduct hands-on research projects in laboratories focused on environmental health sciences. Students will meet with mentors weekly to receive one-on-one training, ensure continued development of research skills, and evaluate progress of scientific projects. This program draws upon the resources, infrastructure, and expertise of faculty at Rutgers University and UMDNJ- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School who are members of the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute, and part of our joint NIEHS T32 training grant and NIEHS Center for Environmental Exposures and Disease. Students will also participate in weekly seminars and workshops on the topics of career development, responsible conduct of research, and environmental research. In addition, students will discuss topics "in the news" that are related to environmental exposures, which will promote overall science literacy. They will also tour core facilities established as part of the NIEHS Center and be instructed in state-of- the-art technology for biomedical research. Students will make a 20-minute PowerPoint presentation of their research at the end of the summer. The SURF Directors and Project Managers have developed an evaluation plan to ensure the continued development and improvement of the fellowship program over subsequent years.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本赠款申请中提出的夏季计划将在罗格斯大学现有的夏季本科研究金（SURF）的一部分中向环境健康科学领域介绍环境健康科学领域。冲浪的目的是为本科生提供为期10周的基础科学和翻译研究经验，以准备生物医学研究的职业。 自成立以来，Surf已为30名本科生提供了夏季的研究经验，该提案将为学生提供10个奖学金，以供学生进行毒理学和环境科学研究。有才华学生的强大申请将通过学术成就，推荐信和引人注目的个人陈述来确定。招聘策略旨在吸引弱势群体和代表性不足的背景的学生进入奖学金计划。 在NIH资助的调查人员的指导和指导下，冲浪学生将在专注于环境健康科学的实验室中进行动手研究项目。 学生将每周与导师会面，以一对一的培训，确保继续发展研究技能并评估科学项目的进度。该计划借鉴了罗格斯大学的资源，基础设施和专业知识，以及乌姆德·罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊医学院，他们是环境与职业健康科学研究所的成员，以及我们联合NIEHS T32培训赠款和NIEHS环境暴露和疾病中心的一部分。 学生还将参加有关职业发展，负责任的研究和环境研究主题的每周研讨会和研讨会。 此外，学生将讨论与环境暴露有关的“新闻中”的主题，这些主题将促进整体科学素养。他们还将参观作为NIEHS中心的一部分建立的核心设施，并接受生物医学研究的最新技术。 学生将在夏季结束时进行20分钟的PowerPoint介绍。冲浪董事和项目经理制定了一项评估计划，以确保随后几年的奖学金计划的持续发展和改进。
