项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The overall goal of this project is to train University of Utah (UOU) undergraduate students from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds in air pollution-related health research through a faculty-mentored summer program called Health, Air Pollution and Population Initiative in Education and Science Training (HAPPIEST). Since exposure to air pollution is magnified in racial/ethnic minority communities in the US, it is imperative to engage members of these communities—especially college students interested in STEM research—in addressing the complex problems caused by poor air quality and environmental inequity. Specific aims are to: 1. Implement a comprehensive strategy to recruit UOU students from underrepresented backgrounds into the HAPPIEST R25 program. 2. Immerse undergraduate students in a mentoring “community of practice” founded on an interdisciplinary, team-based approach to environmental health research, specifically as it relates to air pollution. 3. Utilize formative and summative evaluation to improve the quality and effectiveness of HAPPIEST as well as inform future undergraduate research training programs that aim to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in NIEHS-related research. The “community of practice” is comprised of four research teams, each with two undergraduate students, one graduate student training coordinator, and at least one faculty mentor. Teams will work on locally-relevant air pollution and health research, with the potential for interdisciplinary integration across teams. HAPPIEST will serve a total of forty undergraduates over the five years of the project. The program directors will implement strategic activities for student recruitment, research training, professional development, and mentoring. Using an asset-oriented approach designed to build on student strengths, HAPPIEST activities will prepare students for placement into competitive graduate programs in the environmental health sciences. The project is of great

项目摘要该项目的总体目标是培训犹他大学（UOU）的本科生通过教职员工的空气污染相关健康研究中代表性不足的种族/种族背景夏季计划称为健康，空气污染和人口倡议，教育和科学培训（最快乐）。由于美国的种族/族裔少数民族社区会扩大空气污染的暴露，这是必须吸引这些社区的成员，尤其是对STEM感兴趣的大学生研究 - 解决由于空气质量和环境不平等差而引起的复杂问题。具体的目的是： 1。实施一项全面的策略，以招募来自代表性不足背景的UOU学生进入最快乐的R25程序。 2.沉浸在一个心理“实践社区”的本科生中跨学科，基于团队的环境健康研究方法，特别是与空气污染。 3。利用形成性和总结性评估来提高最快乐的质量和有效性并告知未来的本科研究培训计划，旨在增加与NIEHS相关的研究中代表性不足的群体。 “实践社区”由四个研究团队组成，每个研究团队都有两个本科生，一个研究生培训协调员和至少一种教师心态。团队将在与当地相关的空气上工作污染和健康研究，有可能在团队之间进行跨学科整合。最快乐的意志在该项目的五年中，总共服务40名本科生。计划董事将实施学生招聘，研究培训，专业发展和心理的战略活动。使用以资产为导向的方法旨在建立学生优势，最快乐的活动将使学生做好准备在环境健康科学中安排有竞争力的研究生课程。该项目很棒
