For Students
The CEEH has a long standing interest in promoting the career development of young scientists, starting at the predoctoral level and extending through promotion from Assistant to Associate Professor. Although the CEEH does not fund predoctoral students per se, it serves as the focal point for two NIEHS training grants that provide support to predoctoral students in seven different departments in three different schools at the University of Washington. The Environmental Pathology and Toxicology (EPT) training grant is administratively based in the Department of Pathology, and supports selected pre- and post-doctoral students in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences (School of Public Health), Pathology and Genome Sciences (School of Medicine) and Pharmaceutics and Medicinal Chemistry (School of Pharmacy). Our brand new Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Training in Environmental Health (BIBTEH) training grant, is administratively based in the Department of Biostatistics and supports pre- and post-doctoral students in the Departments of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, Epidemiology, and Biostatistics in the School of Public Health, and the Department of Genome Sciences in the School of Medicine. The EPT Training grant is focused around the six Research Cores of the CEEH as they were organized at the time of the last competing renewal, and all EPT faculty members are also members of the CEEH. The new BIBTEH training grant grew out of collaborations and research activities specifically related to the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Methodologies Research Core (now the Omics Technologies and Bioinformatics ARE), and all faculty associated with that Grant are also members of the CEEH.
If you are a student interested in any of the training opportunities described above, please feel free to contact us for further information.
