We believe that research is a mentoring process, and that to encourage students to pursue research careers, it is important to give them hands on experience with a research project. We propose to continue our two highly successful summer research programs at the University of Pennsylvania, the Teen Research and Education in Environmental Science (TREES) program, a high school research program and the Short Term Educational Experiences for Research (STEER) program, an undergraduate research internship program. TREES and STEER are educational activities of the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET) through its COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT CORE (COEC). The programs offer mentored summer research experiences to high school and college students and are run in parallel each summer with many integrated activities. In addition, we provide a high-school teacher training program. The goals of the program are to provide a meaningful summer experience in environmental health science so as to attract individuals at formative stages in their career development into STEM careers, particularly environmental studies. Our programs are the first step of the educational pipeline that we created to train tomorrow's scientists in the environmental health sciences. Additionally, because graduate students, many of whom are supported by a T32 training grant in Environmental Toxicology, teach the TREES students, our summer program provides them with valuable classroom experience. From 2007 through 2016, 76 high school students participated in the TREES program, 76 undergraduates participated in the STEER program and four teachers participated in the teacher program. The programs were funded through R25 ES016146 and renewed as R25 ES021649. Here we propose to continue our programs under NIEHS PAR-15-184, which is the currently active NIEHS RFA.

我们相信研究是一个指导过程，鼓励学生追求 在研究职业中，为他们提供研究项目的实践经验非常重要。我们 建议继续我们在大学的两个非常成功的夏季研究项目 宾夕法尼亚州，青少年环境科学研究和教育（TREES）计划， 高中研究计划和短期研究教育经验 (STEER) 计划，本科生研究实习计划。 TREES 和 STEER 是 环境毒理学卓越中心 (CEET) 的教育活动 其社区外展和参与核心（COEC）。该计划提供 为高中生和大学生提供暑期研究经验指导，并在 每年夏天都会举办许多综合活动。此外，我们还提供高中 教师培训计划。该计划的目标是提供一个有意义的夏天 环境健康科学方面的经验，以吸引个人在形成 他们的职业发展阶段进入 STEM 职业，特别是环境领域 研究。我们的计划是我们为培训而创建的教育渠道的第一步 环境健康科学领域的明天科学家。另外，因为毕业 学生，其中许多人得到环境毒理学 T32 培训补助金的支持， 教授 TREES 学生，我们的暑期课程为他们提供了宝贵的课堂 经验。从 2007 年到 2016 年，76 名高中生参加了 TREES 项目中，76 名本科生参加了 STEER 项目，4 名教师参加 在教师计划中。该计划通过 R25 ES016146 资助，并更新为 R25 ES021649。在这里，我们建议继续根据 NIEHS PAR-15-184 开展我们的计划，即 目前活跃的 NIEHS RFA。
