DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): This proposal seeks to maintain an existing program in Occupational Health Nursing (OEHN) at the master's and doctoral level at the University of Pennsylvania. The program plays a crucial role in meeting the regional needs for advanced practice nurses to meet the needs of the workforce. Also the program leverages its national reputation in nursing science to educate PhD nurses with the scientific skills needed to address research priorities in occupational health. We are requesting five years of continued funding for both master's and doctoral students with the following goals: 1) Continue to integrate OEHN nurse specialist training at the master's level into the University of Pennsylvania's nationally recognized advanced practice nurse training programs; 2) Contribute to the preparation of the next generation of scientists in occupational and environmental health nursing; 3) Increase the numbers of minority nurses prepared to meet the occupational health and safety needs of an increasingly diverse workplace; and 4) Increase the capacity of all undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Pennsylvania to understand the importance of the occupational and environmental health of our working populations. Our master's OEHN specialty program is housed within our nationally ranked primary care nursing and nursing administration programs and a wide range of occupational sites are available for clinical courses. Our OEHN research training takes advantage of the portfolio of nationally recognized research projects in occupational and environmental health within the Penn School of Nursing. These studies include issues such as immigrant workers, environmental exposures among children, shift work and fatigue, needle stick injuries in health care workers, chemical exposures, biomarkers of exposures and health effects and management of chronic diseases in the workplace. Rigorous evaluation criteria have been established and dissemination of evidence-based practice and research knowledge are of the highest priority. Our program is committed to the recruitment of minorities into advanced practice and PhD study. In addition, this training program presents the opportunity to integrate occupational and environmental health into a number of interdisciplinary, undergraduate and graduate educational programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在保持现有的职业健康护理（OEHN）计划在宾夕法尼亚大学的硕士和博士水平。该计划在满足高级实践护士的区域需求，以满足劳动力的需求发挥着至关重要的作用。此外，该计划利用其在护理科学的国家声誉，教育博士护士与解决职业健康研究重点所需的科学技能。我们要求为硕士和博士生提供五年的持续资助，目标如下：1）继续将OEHN护士专业培训纳入宾夕法尼亚大学国家认可的高级实践护士培训计划; 2）为职业和环境健康护理的下一代科学家做准备做出贡献; 3）增加少数民族护士的数量，以满足日益多样化的工作场所的职业健康和安全需求;和4）提高宾夕法尼亚大学所有本科生和研究生的能力，以了解我们工作人口的职业和环境健康的重要性。我们的硕士OEHN专业课程位于我们全国排名的初级保健护理和护理管理课程中，并且有广泛的职业场所可用于临床课程。我们的OEHN研究培训利用了宾夕法尼亚大学护理学院内国家认可的职业和环境健康研究项目组合。这些研究包括移民工人、儿童接触环境、轮班工作和疲劳、卫生保健工作者的针刺伤害、化学品接触、接触的生物标志物和健康影响以及工作场所慢性病的管理等问题。已经制定了严格的评价标准，传播以证据为基础的做法和研究知识是最高优先事项。我们的计划致力于招募少数民族进入高级实践和博士研究。此外，该培训计划还提供了将职业和环境健康融入一些跨学科，本科和研究生教育计划的机会。
