项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (RETCC) The overall goal of the LSU Superfund Research Center (LSU SRP) is to understand how redox-active metal oxides and organic pollutants associated with particulate matter (PM) react to form environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) and secondary pollutants (e.g., dioxins); how EPFRs are stabilized and decay; and how EPFRs induce cardiovascular and pulmonary dysfunction. To solve these complex research questions, the LSU SRP brings together scientists from diverse areas, including chemistry, physics, environmental sciences, and toxicology. To date, the LSU SRP has trained more than 30 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in these diverse research disciplines. LSU SRP trainees receive their research training through work defined by the individual research projects but receive additional training through programs administered by the Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (RETCC). The Core has enhanced trainees’ training and professional development through unique programs meant to increase their appreciation of transdisciplinary collaboration; for communicating to diverse audiences, including teachers, K–12 students, and community groups; and for the ethical conduct of research. The RETCC will continue to facilitate the professional development and training of all LSU SRP trainees through three Specific Aims. In Aim 1, cross-disciplinary education in the environmental and biomedical sciences will be enhanced through innovative programs. For example, the RETCC will continue to provide webinar-based biweekly meetings for cross-disciplinary discussion and dissemination of research findings. It will also use the webinar program for professional development activities, for example, for educating trainees in the ethical conduct of research. Moreover, the Core will fund two externships per year, in which the trainees visit other institutions to learn techniques not available on our campuses. In Aim 2, the RETCC will support the professional development of trainees by providing education programs in writing, presentation skills, interviewing, and leadership. In an innovative approach, trainees have now organized themselves into a Leadership Advisory Board with the vision that trainees will learn leadership skills by directing the activities of other trainees. In Aim 3, trainees will mentor undergraduates completing a service-learning course at a local historically black university. Together, the trainees and their mentees will play a key role in facilitating bidirectional communication between SRP researchers and a North Baton Rouge community (Alsen) affected by Superfund-related issues, ensuring that trainees become adept at communicating science to diverse audiences. Finally, to enhance the impact and overall well-being of our program, in Aim 4, the Core will work together with other institutional programs to recruit a diverse population of high-quality trainees.

项目摘要/摘要研究经验和培训协调核心（RETCC） LSU超级基金研究中心（LSU SRP）的总体目标是了解氧化还原活性金属与特定物质（PM）相关的氧化物和有机污染物反应形成环境持续自由基（EPFR）和二级污染物（例如二恶英）； EPFR如何稳定和衰减；以及如何 EPFR诱导心血管和肺部功能障碍。为了解决这些复杂的研究问题， LSU SRP汇集了来自化学，物理，环境科学，包括化学，物理学，环境科学的科学家和毒理学。迄今为止，LSU SRP培训了30多名研究生和博士后研究员这些潜水员研究学科。 LSU SRP受训者通过定义的工作接受研究培训个别研究项目，但通过研究管理的计划获得额外的培训经验和培训协调核心（RETCC）。核心已经增强了培训的培训，通过独特计划的专业发展旨在增加对跨学科的欣赏合作;与包括教师，K -12学生和社区在内的潜水受众沟通群体；以及研究的道德行为。 RETCC将继续促进专业人士通过三个特定目标，所有LSU SRP受训人员的开发和培训。在AIM 1，跨学科通过创新计划将增强环境和生物医学科学的教育。为了例如，RETCC将继续提供基于网络研讨会的每两周跨学科会议讨论和传播研究结果。它还将使用网络研讨会计划进行专业开发活动，例如，用于教育受训者的研究道德行为。而且，核心每年将资助两个实习生，在该职位上，学员访问其他机构以学习技术而不是在我们的校园中可用。在AIM 2中，RETCC将支持学员的专业发展提供书面，演讲技巧，访谈和领导力的教育计划。创新方法，学员现在已经将自己组织成一个领导顾问委员会的愿景学员将通过指导其他学员的活动来学习领导技能。在AIM 3中，学员将很重要本科生在当地一所历史悠久的黑人大学完成服务学习课程。在一起，学员及其梅内斯将在支持SRP之间的双向交流中发挥关键作用研究人员和北巴吞鲁日社区（Alsen）受到超级基金相关问题的影响，以确保学员擅长向潜水受众传达科学。最后，以增强影响和在AIM 4中，我们计划的总体福祉将与其他机构计划一起招聘高质量学员的多样性人口。
