项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) In order for the research activities in the U.S. to continue to excel, a new generation of scientists must be recruited and trained. This is especially true in environmental health sciences that require broad interdisciplinary training. However, graduate education and the expectations of active scientific research remain unclear, even to undergraduates already majoring in a scientific field. This project aims to immerse a small cohort each summer of talented undergraduate science students from colleges and universities in the U.S. in active research laboratories in the Center for Environmental Health Sciences (CEHS) for 10 weeks at the University of Montana in order to meet three specific aims: 1) To provide research training and exposure to environmental health sciences for undergraduate students. 2) To provide background training to improve the participants' preparedness for graduate school and encourage their graduate study in environmental health sciences, as well as expose students to various career options. 3) To increase the diversity of the pool of students progressing to graduate study in environmental health sciences. The CEHS has established a proven track record of success and careful assessment of the attitudes of participants upon completion of each year of the program in the first five years of this program at the University of Montana. This project will build upon these successes and to continue the work in order to expose more students to the opportunities found in research, and specifically in environmental health research.

描述（由申请人提供）为了使美国的研究活动继续表现出色，必须招募和培训新一代的科学家。在需要广泛的跨学科培训的环境健康科学中尤其如此。但是，研究生教育和积极科学研究的期望尚不清楚，即使是已经在科学领域主修的本科生也是如此。该项目旨在每年夏天在蒙大拿州大学在美国环境健康科学中心（CEHS）的活跃研究实验室（CEHS）的活跃研究实验室中，来自美国大学和大学的才华横溢的本科科学专业的学生将一个小的队列沉浸在蒙大拿大学的活跃研究实验室中。 1）为本科生提供研究培训并接触环境健康科学。 2）提供背景培训，以改善参与者为研究生院的准备，并鼓励他们在环境健康科学领域的研究生学习，并使学生了解各种职业选择。 3）增加了进入环境健康科学研究生学习的学生的多样性。 CEHS在该计划的前五年在蒙大拿大学的前五年完成了该计划的每一年后，就建立了成功的成功记录和仔细评估参与者的态度。该项目将基于这些成功并继续工作，以使更多的学生接触研究中发现的机会，特别是在环境健康研究中。
