Im interested in the field of environmental health research. Does the strategic plan address training and career development?
Training and career development in environmental health sciences is clearly one of our most profound responsibilities and a top priority for NIEHS. NIEHS offers a number of programs to interest young students and undergraduates in the environmental health sciences, including summer internship programs, undergraduate work-study programs, partnerships with professional and educational societies, and outreach through publications–to create an open door to welcome the best and brightest young minds to our field. The strategic plan emphasizes the need for training in more than one discipline and participating in interdisciplinary team research early in your graduate school career. Consistent with the strategic plan, NIEHS has established the Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) program to enhance the careers of talented younger researchers by funding them in the formative stages of their careers.
