# Colorado Undergraduate Research in Environmental Health Science

> **NIH NIH R25** · UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER · 2020 · $107,990

## Abstract

Project Summary
This project proposes to continue our highly successful research and mentorship program for undergraduate
science students to enhance diversity in the environmental health sciences (EHS) based at the University of
Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Our program, the Colorado Undergraduate Research in Environmental
Health Sciences (CUrehs), will draw students from the University of Colorado downtown Denver campus. Our
program intends to expose students to research experiences and mentorship in EHS for one year and will
include an intensive summer program that trains them in the responsible conduct of research, and provides
them with the confidence and guidance to pursue graduate education. Overall, our CUrehs program provides
an integrated 3-pronged approach to developing student interest in environmental health sciences research
and careers: (1) Laboratory Experience; (2) Social/Community Development; (3) Educational/Inspirational
Experiences. We have trained a total of 24 students during the past funding cycle with success as measured
by students applying to professional or graduate school, publications and presentations at local and national
conferences. Our goal remains to enhance diversity in the environmental health sciences by meeting the
following aims:
1. Advance our successful research-training program for undergraduate students in the environmental
 health sciences.
2. Strengthen the undergraduate studies in EHS at the University of Colorado while improving the
 participants' preparedness for graduate or professional school.
3. Enhance the diversity of students progressing to graduate or professional school in environmental
 health sciences.
