As noted in the NIEHS 2012 Strategic Plan, the NIEHS has set a goal to train the next generation of environmental health scientists from a wider range of scientific disciplines and diverse backgrounds. Principal Investigators on NIEHS-supported R01, R21, R15, R37, or P01 awards can apply for administrative supplements to support summer research experiences for high school students, college undergraduates, master's degree candidates, medical students, secondary school science teachers, and science professors from R15 AREA grant eligible institutions. By offering an introduction to environmental health science research, the NIEHS expects to increase the number, and elevate the credentials, of the pool of applicants to graduate programs in the environmental health sciences. The program will also help raise awareness of important environmental health issues.
