## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY PARENT AWARD
The parent award for this administrative supplement is the T32 training grant at the University of North Carolina
(UNC) at Chapel Hill for Pre- and Postdoctoral Training in Toxicology to support the development of future
investigators in environmental health and toxicology. This training program is led by Dr. Ilona Jaspers and
supports 8 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees at UNC, with the current award period continuing until June
2023, at which point we will submit another application for continued renewal. The training program brings
together a highly interactive and productive faculty of basic scientists, physician scientists, and public health
researchers from the UNC Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Pharmacy, plus outstanding researchers
and mentors from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The training program faculty includes 43
investigators with proven research records in environmental health and toxicology. Our overall mission is to
train predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees to integrate basic toxicology with next-generation research tools to
advance environmental health and toxicology knowledge in the 21st century. Our current research training
focuses on providing predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees the environment, infrastructure, and resources to
conduct interdisciplinary cross-cutting research in environmental toxicology, systems toxicology/biomarkers,
research translation, and animal models of human diseases. Trainees from this program have gone on to
productive careers in academia, government, and industry. In order to maintain this successful training
program, we continuously update our training approaches, incorporating feedback from our external advisory
committee and other forms of training program evaluation. The program continues to have outstanding didactic
instruction, excellent training and mentoring oversight, unparalleled resources, and an outstanding
environment to support the training of the next generation of environmental health scientists and toxicologists.
