DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This is a request for an award to support a summer research program for outstanding undergraduate students and a summer program of organized educational experiences for undergraduate and high school students. Training in the environmental health sciences is crucial to fill the needs of both society and academia. Heightened public awareness and concern about chemicals in the environment elicit a continuing strong demand for toxicologists and other environmental scientists, for effective governmental regulators and for scientists who understand how chemical interactions with biological systems can precipitate or modulate disease states. This program will recruit and train the most talented students with a goal of increasing the pool of environmental health scientists who can have the greatest impact on improving human health and preventing disease. The investigators view this program as a mechanism to provide the most gifted undergraduates recruited at the University of California, Davis with the opportunity for 1) an intensive summer research experience in the area of environmental health combined with 2) educational experiences that will support informed career decisions in the environmental health sciences and provide a framework for understanding major issues in this arena. These experiences will undoubtedly encourage students to pursue graduate research in the environmental health sciences and increase the pool of graduate applicants in environmental health sciences at a national as well as local level.

描述（由申请人提供） 这是为支持杰出的本科生提供夏季研究计划的奖项，以及针对本科生和高中生的夏季有组织的教育经验。对环境健康科学的培训对于满足社会和学术界的需求至关重要。公众对环境中化学物质的认识和关注提高了人们对毒理学家和其他环境科学家的持续强烈需求，对有效的政府监管机构以及了解化学化学与生物系统相互作用如何沉淀或调节疾病状态的科学家。该计划将招募和培训最有才华的学生，其目标是增加对改善人类健康和预防疾病的影响最大的环境健康科学家。 调查人员将该计划视为一种机制，可提供在加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校招募的最有才华的大学生，有机会获得1）在环境健康领域的夏季研究经验，共同2）教育经验，这些教育经验将支持知情的职业环境健康科学的决策，并为了解该领域的主要问题提供了一个框架。这些经验无疑会鼓励学生在环境健康科学领域进行研究生研究，并增加国家和地方环境健康科学研究生的研究生库。
