In support of existing programs, the RWBC provides infrastructure and learning tools to foster excellence in undergraduate and graduate education.

Other undergraduates

• The RWBC site is designed to inspire/facilitate research topic selection and design for projects requiring the integration of disciplines (social, natural, physical, technology, art and the humanities) such as in the new Environmental Systems Major , Environment and Sustainability Initiative and Sixth College

Graduate Students

Graduate students in UCSD's Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP) are part of a Training Core that includes RWBC-supported instruction in Geographic Information Systems. The SBRP also creates opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to work on projects that link science to society.

Linking Science to Society

A defining feature of the RWBC (largely funded by the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences) is the emphasis we place on linking science and technology to policy and planning. Two examples

1. Applying toxicogenomics and biomolecular technologies to environmental monitoring, risk assessment and bioremediation

2. Integrating Superfund Science and Traditional Environmental Knowledge: A Tribal Regional Workbench Approach
