DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Northern California ERC Targeted Research Training program is to train research leaders in occupational health and safety in the following disciplines: occupational medicine, occupational health nursing, ergonomics, and industrial hygiene. Research training will be accomplished through mentorship with faculty, discipline specific course work, proposal writing, and direct research activities, such as data collection, management, and analysis, as well as exposure to community-based participatory based research activities. In addition, students funded through this project will attend a monthly research seminar focused on research methodology (didactic), weekly student discussions sessions and presentations (role development), and research critique in an interdisciplinary environment (discussion). Targeted research training activities will focus on three thematic areas of interest to ERC faculty: occupational lung disease and inhalation exposures; musculoskeletal injury and prevention; and high-risk and vulnerable workers. Research projects in the following NORA Council areas would be available for student learning experiences: construction (overhead drilling), healthcare and social assistance (GROW study data), services (restaurant workers), and manufacturing (NUMMI auto manufacturing) as well as other relevant areas. Continuing education courses related to key elements of their specific research topic may round out the students' experiences. In addition, students will learn how to develop and use educational bridges to translate University research to external constituencies to ensure that practicing professionals, workers, their representatives, supervisors, and other educators benefit from the University's occupational health and safety research activities. Exposure to faculty research activities, group discussion, other research rotations, and participation in interdisciplinary Center activities will assist students in these endeavors. The aim is to provide a broad, multidisciplinary educational experience involving student and faculty collaborations in the classroom and on research projects. The discipline-specific research curricula in all programs have evolved in response to major changes in the workplace so that now research training with an applied emphasis is increasingly a key element this learning experience. The goal is to produce graduates with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to synthesize diverse information in order to effectively address the unusual research problems that arise in the technically, institutionally, and culturally complex workplaces that characterize the current economy.

描述(由申请者提供)：北加州ERC目标研究培训计划的目标是在以下学科培训职业健康和安全方面的研究领导者：职业医学、职业健康护理、人体工程学和工业卫生。研究培训将通过与教师的指导、特定学科的课程工作、提案撰写和直接研究活动(如数据收集、管理和分析)以及参与以社区为基础的参与性研究活动来完成。此外，通过这个项目资助的学生将参加每月一次的研究研讨会，重点是研究方法(教学)，每周的学生讨论会议和演讲(角色发展)，以及跨学科环境中的研究批评(讨论)。有针对性的研究培训活动将集中在ERC教职员工感兴趣的三个主题领域：职业性肺病和吸入暴露；肌肉骨骼损伤和预防；以及高危和脆弱工人。以下NORA理事会领域的研究项目将提供给学生学习体验：建筑(高架钻探)、医疗保健和社会援助(增长研究数据)、服务(餐饮业工人)、制造业(NUMMI汽车制造)以及其他相关领域。与其特定研究课题的关键要素相关的持续教育课程可能会丰富学生的经历。此外，学生还将学习如何开发和使用教育桥梁，将大学的研究成果转化为外部支持者，以确保执业专业人员、工人、他们的代表、主管和其他教育工作者从大学的职业健康和安全研究活动中受益。参加教师研究活动、小组讨论、其他研究轮换，以及参与跨学科中心活动将有助于学生在这些方面的努力。其目的是提供广泛的、多学科的教育体验，包括学生和教师在课堂和研究项目中的合作。所有项目中的特定学科研究课程都随着工作场所的重大变化而发展，因此现在强调应用的研究培训越来越成为这种学习体验的关键要素。其目标是培养具有强大的解决问题能力和综合各种信息的能力的毕业生，以便有效地解决当前经济特点的技术、制度和文化复杂的工作场所中出现的不寻常的研究问题。
