DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This is a revision of the first competitive renewal application for this Program in Interdisciplinary Training in Environmental Health. To date, there have been 13 trainees in this pre-doctoral program leading to the Ph.D. degree in Environmental Health Sciences that includes two years of course work and three years of dissertation research. In addition, the program has incorporated several educational enrichment activities to enhance the training experience, including: seminars; workshops; field trips; teaching experience; retreats; grant writing experience; and informal activities. The training program is also integrated with the numerous other environmental health activities of the department, school and university, including: the Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan; the Center for Children's Environmental Health; the Superfund Basic Science Research Program; and the Columbia Earth Institute. This program has focused on interdisciplinary training combining public health and basic biomedical science skills in solving complex problems in environmental health related to four areas: environmental cancer; environmental respiratory disease; environmental neuro-degenerative disease; and environmental reproductive/developmental disease. The training faculty for the program consists of 16 well-funded investigators with research programs related to one or more of these focus areas, all of whom have experience in mentoring trainees in collaborative interdisciplinary research. The current grant has provided support for three pre-doctoral slots per year, but, through leveraging of funding, the investigators have been able to considerably increase the number of slots in the program. Thus, the program currently has 10 trainees (including three under-represented minorities) and has had two recent graduates who have gone on to environmental health research positions in government and academia.

描述（由申请人提供） 这是该计划在环境卫生跨学科培训中的首次竞争续订申请的修订。迄今为止，该博士学位前计划有13名学员，导致博士学位。环境健康科学学位，包括两年的课程工作和三年的论文研究。 此外，该计划还纳入了几项教育丰富活动，以增强培训经验，包括：研讨会；讲习班；实地考察；教学经验；撤退；授予写作经验；和非正式活动。该培训计划还与该系，学校和大学的其他众多环境健康活动集成在一起，包括：曼哈顿北部环境卫生中心；儿童环境健康中心；超级基础科学研究计划；和哥伦比亚地球研究所。该计划的重点是将公共卫生和基本生物医学科学技能结合在一起，以解决与四个领域有关的环境健康问题的复杂问题：环境癌；环境呼吸道疾病；环境神经变性疾病；和环境生殖/发育疾病。该计划的培训学院由16位资金良好的研究人员组成，其研究计划与其中一个或多个重点领域有关，所有这些人都有在协作跨学科研究中指导学员的经验。目前的赠款为每年的三个博士前插槽提供了支持，但是，通过利用资金，调查人员已经能够大大增加该计划中的插槽数量。因此，该计划目前有10名学员（包括3名代表性不足的少数民族），并且有两名最近的毕业生在政府和学术界担任环境健康研究职位。
