# Research Training in Environmental Toxicology

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE · 2020 · $138,608

## Abstract

Abstract
In this competitive renewal of the Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Institutional Research Training Grant Application,
we request funds to support the research training in environmental toxicology at the University of California
Riverside. The proposed interdisciplinary research training program is built upon the solid foundation of the
existing curriculum structure of the environmental toxicology graduate program. The fourteen preceptors are
from the Division of Biomedical Sciences as well as the Departments of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Botany and
Plant Science, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, and Environmental Sciences. They have been very
actively involved with the training of pre- and postdoctoral individuals in environmental toxicology and their
research projects have been well funded. The research programs of these faculty members include genetic
toxicology and epigenetics (Chen, Eastmond, Song, and Wang), analytical chemistry and proteomics (Ai,
Cheng, Gan, Mulchandani, and Wang), oxidative stress (Ai, Julian and Wang), and endocrine disruption and
metabolism (Gill, Messoudi, Schlenk, Sladek, and Walker). Pre-doctoral trainees will be selected from the
participating Chemistry and Environmental Toxicology graduate programs. An Internal Steering Committee is
established to select the trainees and to monitor the progress of the trainees, and an External Advisory Board
is also named to assist the management of the training program. A total of 6 trainees per year (4 pre-
doctorates + 2 postdoctorates) are requested. The trainees will be exposed to a variety of cutting-edge
technologies in nanofabrication, genomics, proteomics, etc. The request for continuing funding of this research
training grant is justified by the relevance of the proposed research training to environmental health, the
excellent training environment, the superb experience of the preceptors in training pre- and postdoctoral
individuals, the strong institutional commitment, the diverse graduate student body at the University, as well as
our success in recruiting, appointing and nurturing the success of trainees in the last funding cycle.
