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.

我们认为研究是一个指导过程，并鼓励学生追求 研究事业，重要的是要掌握研究项目的经验。我们 建议在大学继续我们的两个非常成功的夏季研究计划 宾夕法尼亚州，《环境科学研究与教育》，《树木）计划 高中研究计划和研究的短期教育经验 （Steer）计划，一项本科研究实习计划。树木和转向是 环境毒理学卓越中心（CEET）的教育活动 它的社区外展和参与核心（COEC）。计划提供 指导了高中和大学生的夏季研究经验 每年夏天都有许多综合活动。此外，我们提供高中生 教师培训计划。该计划的目标是提供一个有意义的夏天 在环境健康科学方面的经验，以吸引成立的人 他们职业发展的阶段，尤其是环境 研究。我们的计划是我们为训练而创建的教育管道的第一步 明天的环境健康科学科学家。另外，因为毕业生 学生，其中许多人得到了环境毒理学的T32培训补助金的支持， 教树木学生，我们的夏季计划为他们提供有价值的教室 经验。从2007年到2016年，有76名高中生参加了树木 计划，有76名本科生参加了转向计划，四名老师参加了 在教师计划中。这些计划是通过R25 ES016146资助的，并续签为 R25 ES021649。在这里，我们建议以Niehs Par-15-184继续我们的计划，这是 当前活跃的NIEHS RFA。
