项目摘要

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）：本拨款申请中提出的暑期项目将向本科生介绍环境健康科学领域，作为罗格斯大学现有夏季本科生研究奖学金 (SURF) 的一部分。 SURF 的目的是为本科生提供为期 10 周的基础科学和转化研究经验，为生物医学研究职业做好准备。自成立以来，SURF 已为 30 名本科生提供了暑期研究经历，该提案还将设立额外 10 个奖学金，供学生进行毒理学和环境科学研究。优秀学生的优秀申请将通过学业成绩、推荐信和令人信服的个人陈述来确定。招聘策略旨在吸引来自弱势和代表性不足背景的学生加入奖学金计划。在 NIH 资助的研究人员的指导和指导下，SURF 的学生将在专注于环境健康科学的实验室中开展实践研究项目。学生将每周与导师会面，接受一对一的培训，确保研究技能的持续发展，并评估科学项目的进展。该计划利用罗格斯大学和 UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson 医学院教师的资源、基础设施和专业知识，他们是环境和职业健康科学研究所的成员，也是我们联合 NIEHS T32 培训补助金和 NIEHS 环境中心的一部分暴露和疾病。学生还将参加每周一次的研讨会和讲习班，主题涉及职业发展、负责任的研究行为和环境研究。此外，学生将讨论与环境暴露相关的“新闻”主题，这将提高整体科学素养。他们还将参观 NIEHS 中心的核心设施，并接受最先进的生物医学研究技术的指导。学生将在暑假结束时用 20 分钟的 PowerPoint 演示他们的研究。 SURF 董事和项目经理制定了一项评估计划，以确保奖学金计划在接下来的几年中持续发展和改进。
