Pre-College Environmental Science Research and Training Opportunities Program: EPA desires to promote diversity, stimulate minority students' interest in environmental science careers, and provide training opportunities to minority students, postdocs and faculty. To this end, NHEERL has established an extramural minority training program. AED seeks to establish a training cooperative agreement to support local students in achieving NHEERL's extramural minority training program goals. The program will offer many unique opportunities for elementary and secondary students to receive first class training in environmental sciences. These stimulating experiences will help students develop scientific skills, conduct in-depth investigations, and understand science as a career. Understanding environmental sciences as an applied science will give practical meaning to students academic course work and encourage them to pursue careers in environmental science.
