The objective of this program is to provide training that will improve the ability of researchers and/orpractitioners to apply scientific knowledge to prevent and mitigate environmental degradation andexposures to adverse environmental conditions. The training program will emphasize the interdisciplinarynature of environmental health issues and problems, the importance of considering preventive strategies inaddition to remedial ones, and the application and translation of scientific knowledge in settings where itcan make a difference to protect public health.
The specific aims are to:1. Train graduate students to understand the interdisciplinary context for assessing, solving, andpreventing environmental health problems. Trainees will complete a program of study that provides abreadth of background in biomedical and non-biomedical disciplines, as well as depth in their particulardisciplines.2. Train graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to apply technical knowledge to address andprevent real world problems. Trainees will enroll in an interdisciplinary course (PH 271 E) on theapplication of scientific knowledge in policy and intervention contexts that also teaches communicationsskills needed to translate technical information for diverse audiences.3. Engage graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and investigators in interdisciplinary discussions ofhow current findings in science and technology innovations can be translated into terms that can beuseful to those who can adopt or influence policies or take actions to prevent or remediatecontamination and promote public health. This will be done through a colloquium series.4. Provide opportunities for trainees to participate in projects of the Research Translation Core that willsynthesize and assess scientific knowledge on key areas and to interact with audiences for translationrelevant to the SBRP.5. Provide support for intensive training in translation for three graduate students per year, two engaged inthe translation of innovative technologies between laboratories and field applications.
