The goal of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)-Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (UAB-RETCC) is to provide multi- and trans-disciplinary training in environmental health sciences in a nurturing, stimulating and collaborative environment. The program will support 2-3 years of structured and rigorous research training for graduate students enrolled in the UAB Graduate Biomedical Sciences (GBS; PhD candidates) and postdoctoral fellows (MD, PhD, or combined MD, PhD). The multidisciplinary nature of the proposed training is fostered by the diversity of 24 faculty mentors who hold primary appointments in the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, Public Health and the College of Arts and Sciences, and are members of UAB University-Wide Interdisciplinary Research Centers (UWIRCs). In concert with the Research Projects, the training core will support both graduate students and postdoctoral trainees (~2:1 ratio over the duration of the RETCC) in each year of this program. We propose an incremental increase in trainee slots: 3, 4, 5, 6, and 6 in years 1 through 5, respectively. The faculty mentors have been grouped into four thematic areas based on scientific expertise: (1) environmental health and lung disease; (2) environmental science and engineering; (3) minority health and health disparities; and (4) social sciences and study design. Multi- and transdisciplinary structure of the training will be facilitated by co-mentoring of all trainees by faculty selected from different thematic groups. The UAB-RETCC will allow students/trainees rigorous education and training in lung cellular and molecular biology, physiology, and disease pathogenesis with an emphasis on chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), asthma, and pulmonary infections. Environmental and engineering research experiences will provide trainees with skills and expertise in toxicology, gas/metal sensing technology, mass spectrometry, and remediation/mitigation. In addition to the research projects that will be conducted in the mentors’ laboratories, training will encompass a highly structured didactic program that includes (1) a “survival skills” curriculum in collaboration with the UAB Office of Postdoctoral Education and the Center for Clinical and Translational Science, (2) a research core curriculum in collaboration with the Deep South Occupational Safety and Health Education and Research Center, (3) training in minority health/disparities concerns in collaboration with the Comprehensive Minority and Health Disparities Research Center and (4) study design in collaboration with epidemiologists and environmental health scientists at the UAB School of Public Health. Strong emphasis will be placed on the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities. Formal instruction will include study design including environmental health sciences courses at the School of Public Health. By completion of the training program, trainees will be prepared to assemble, launch and lead research projects focused on chronic obstructive lung disease, asthma, pulmonary infections, and environmental and engineering.

阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）的目标——研究经验和培训协调 核心（UAB-RETCC）是在环境健康科学领域提供多学科和跨学科培训 该计划将支持 2-3 年的结构化和协作环境。 为 UAB 研究生生物医学科学研究生 (GBS; 博士生）和博士后研究员（MD、PhD 或组合 MD、PhD）。 拟议的培训是由 24 名在该学院担任主要任命的教师导师的多元化推动的。 医学院、工程学院、公共卫生学院以及艺术与科学学院，并且是以下学院的成员 UAB 大学跨学科研究中心 (UWIRC) 与研究项目相配合。 培训核心将支持研究生和博士后实习生（培训期间的比例约为 2:1） RETCC），我们建议在该计划的每一年逐步增加实习生名额：3、4、5、6 和 6 个。 第一年至第五年的导师队伍分别根据以下内容分为四个主题领域。 科学专长：（1）环境健康与肺部疾病；（3）环境科学与工程； 少数民族健康和健康差异；(4) 社会科学和跨学科研究设计。 培训结构将由来自不同国家的教师共同指导所有学员，从而促进培训的结构 UAB-RETCC 将为学生/学员提供严格的肺细胞教育和培训。 以及分子生物学、生理学和疾病发病机制，重点是慢性阻塞性肺 疾病（慢性阻塞性肺病）、哮喘和肺部感染的环境和工程研究经验。 为学员提供毒理学、气体/金属传感技术、质谱分析等方面的技能和专业知识 除了将在导师实验室进行的研究项目外， 培训将包括一个高度结构化的教学计划，其中包括（1）“生存技能”课程 与阿拉巴马大学博士后教育办公室和临床与转化中心合作 科学，(2) 与 Deep South 职业安全与健康中心合作的研究核心课程 教育和研究中心，(3) 与 综合少数民族和健康差异研究中心以及 (4) 与以下机构合作进行研究设计 阿拉巴马大学公共卫生学院的流行病学家和环境健康科学家将重点关注。 正式指导将包括研究。 设计包括公共卫生学院的环境健康科学课程。 培训计划中，受训者将准备组装、启动和领导专注于慢性病的研究项目 阻塞性肺病、哮喘、肺部感染以及环境和工程。
