The Supporting Undergraduate Research Experiences in Environmental Health (SURE-EH) program provides up to two years of hourly employment to UW undergraduates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to conduct research in areas relevant to the environmental health sciences and the mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Students accepted into the program will work alongside faculty and research staff in the School of Public Health’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Science (DEOHS). Student researchers will be eligible for up to 2 years of funding: full-time (up to 40 hours) during summer and part-time (up to 15 hours) during the academic year.
We are currently looking for undergraduate students to work on the following research projects (full descriptions and desired qualifications are on our website):
- Project # 1: Community exposures to traffic related air pollution
- Project # 2: Smoke Signals: Examining the connection between wildfires, disaster exposures, and perinatal health disparities across the US
- Project #3: Microbiome - a novel therapeutic target for metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases
- Project #4: Using high-throughput chemical screening to discover environmental risk factors for autism
- Project #5: Study of the particulate matter-induced activation of oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways leading to cardiometabolic toxicity and neurodegeneration in adult mice.
