项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY: Research Experience and Training Coordination Core The 20th century brought the chemical revolution and the steady increase of large-scale production of chemicals. Only later did the problem of environmental persistence of some of these new and useful chemicals become evident, and only recently did we discover the magnitude of the negative health effects caused by these pollutants, including brain diseases and metabolic syndrome, cancer, fertility problems, reduced immune system function, and even hearing loss and autism. Moreover, these pollutants may volatilize and contaminate indoor and outdoor air. Environmental health and engineering professionals must now deal with these legacy contaminants in multiple dimensions to protect humans and the environment, and to prevent future contamination. As a consequence, the traditional training approach designed to produce specialized experts in individual, narrow disciplines is clearly inappropriate to prepare trainees for leadership roles in environmental health and technology. Instead, future scientists and engineers need thorough training in their specific fields, supported by basic knowledge of diverse areas (socioeconomics, policy, engineering, and science), along with communication and collaboration skills to work with specialists in other disciplines and with varied stakeholders and affected communities. To properly prepare students and post-docs, the Iowa Superfund Research Program (ISRP) Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (RETCC) will: 1) identify, promote, evaluate, and track interdisciplinary training approaches; 2) coordinate training in ISRP methods and applications; 3) develop opportunities for trainee participation in the ISRP Community Engagement Core and in research translation activities; 4) interact with the ISRP Data Management and Analysis Core to provide training in data management, analysis, and data sharing; and 5) offer opportunities for professional career development. In the last funding circle (April 2015–November 2018), 48 graduate students and postdocs (24 ongoing) obtained such training. To build on this success, we are creating and coordinating a unique set of courses, seminars, workshops, community outreach, and research translation experiences, so all ISRP trainees can gain insights into health effects, risk, detection, and remediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the needs of stakeholders and affected communities, and how to build a successful career. ISRP researchers make this possible through established, successful, supportive collaborations with colleagues representing diverse areas such as toxicology, occupational and environmental health, medicinal pharmacology, environmental and medical engineering, and urban and regional planning, along with extraordinary support from the University of Iowa Graduate College. The RETCC’s unique resources will ensure its future success of preparing a new generation of scientists and engineers to solve the environmental pollution challenges of the 21st century.

项目摘要：研究经验和培训协调核心 20世纪带来了化学革命和大规模生产的稳定增长化学物质。直到后来，这些新的和有用的化学物质中的某些环境持久性问题成为证据，直到最近我们才发现了由这些污染物，包括脑部疾病和代谢综合征，癌症，生育问题，免疫降低系统功能，甚至听力损失和自闭症。此外，这些污染物可能会挥发和污染室内和室外空气。环境健康和工程专业人士现在必须处理这些遗产多个维度的污染物来保护人类和环境，并防止未来污染。结果，旨在生产专业专家的传统培训方法个人，狭窄的学科显然不适合为受训者准备在环境中的领导角色健康与技术。相反，未来的科学家和工程师需要在其特定领域进行彻底培训，在潜水区（社会经济，政策，工程和科学）的基础知识的支持下，以及沟通和协作技巧，与其他学科的专家以及各种利益相关者合作并影响社区。为了适当准备学生和毕业后，爱荷华州超级基金研究计划（ISRP）研究经验和培训协调核心（RETCC）将：1）确定，促进，评估和跟踪跨学科培训方法； 2）协调ISRP方法和申请； 3）学员参与ISRP社区参与核心的发展机会研究翻译活动； 4）与ISRP数据管理和分析核心互动以提供在数据管理，分析和数据共享方面进行培训； 5）为职业提供机会发展。在最后一个资金圈（2015年4月至2018年11月）中，有48位研究生和博士后（24个正在进行）获得了这种培训。为了建立这一成功，我们正在创建和协调一套独特的集合课程，半手，研讨会，社区外展和研究翻译经验，因此所有ISRP 学员可以深入了解多氯联苯的健康影响，风险，检测和补救（PCB），利益相关者和受影响社区的需求，以及如何建立成功的职业。 ISRP 研究人员通过与同事的建立，成功，支持的合作来实现这一目标代表毒理学，职业和环境健康等潜水区域药理学，环境和医学工程以及城市和区域规划，以及爱荷华大学研究生学院的非凡支持。 RETCC的独特资源将确保为新一代科学家和工程师做准备解决环境的未来成功 21世纪的污染挑战。
