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.

超级基金化学品带来的环境挑战非常严重，并影响到多个领域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以下因素的影响：营养对超级基金化学品毒性的影响、这些化学品的检测及其补救措施。解决对于任何环境问题，新兴研究人员都应该接受具体的科学培训，广泛的不同学科的知识并成为有效的沟通者。培训核心计划解决这个问题需要通过跨学科研究生教育和环境科学培训计划。这培训核心与各个项目以及 UK-SBRP 的其他核心的合作将让我们的学员接触基础研究和应用研究。除了他们参与个人项目中，将向学员介绍 (a) 蛋白质组学、EPA 方法以及生物信息学和系统通过研究支持核心（核心 B）组织的研讨会了解毒理学中的生物学； (b) 研究通过研讨会和参与研究翻译核心活动制定翻译策略（核心C）； (c) 通过参与社区活动来解决实际的环境问题位于超级基金站点附近的社区的外展核心。培训核心的目标是 (i) 为学生提供特定领域的全面培训，（ii）灌输有关社会经济的基本知识，法律、工程和科学方面，（三）增强学生与科学家沟通的能力以及非科学家。除了提供学生助学金外，培训核心还将提供为实习生和博士后学者提供旅行资金，以在以下网站展示他们的超级基金相关研究科学会议。重点将放在识别和招募有积极性的个人和通过小册子、网页和少数族裔演讲来吸引来自代表性不足群体的学生机构。将定期评估培训核心计划，以评估培训核心计划的进展情况实现该计划的目标。这将通过首先评估受训者的进展来实现其次，学员如何看待和评价该计划。
