Environmental Health
Research Experience Program (EH REP)
Environmental and occupational health is an interdisciplinary field that uses the tools of science to solve human health problems related to the environment. If you want to use your science background to help people live healthier lives, this research program is for you.
The Environmental Health Research Experience Program (EH REP) is a funded nine week, summer experience for talented undergraduates who express strong interest in environmental health science research. In 2010, the department will select 10 students from a national pool of applicants and pair each with a faculty mentor.
Students from populations traditionally underrepresented in the sciences are encouraged to apply. The program is made possible by a five-year grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and generous, ongoing support from department faculty.
The experience will:
- Provide first-hand experiences in laboratories of leading environmental and occupational health researchers
- Introduce students to key environmental and occupational health concepts and concerns
- Offer academic research exposure that will help students be more competitive for graduate program.

Faculty Educator Positions Available
With additional funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the 2010 EHREP program includes two faculty educator position s. If you teach in environmental health or a related science discipline at an institution with limited research activity, consider joining EHREP for the summer.
