DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since its inception in 2000, the Heartland Center for Occupational Health and Safety has served as a resource for Federal Region VII and the US, providing interdisciplinary graduate, postgraduate, and residency training for practitioners and researchers in occupational health and safety (OHS) professions. The major rationale for the Center is to address dual problems in Federal Region VII-higher than US average rates of occupational disease and injury and shortages of trained OHS professionals. The Center has grown to 7 graduate level training programs, including occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, agricultural health and safety, occupational injury prevention, and occupational epidemiology. The Center's active continuing education and outreach programs reach hundreds of practioners in the Region, utilizing traditional and innovative distance-education technology. This proposal is for continued funding of the Center for the next five years. The projected annual number of trainees in each program area are the following: Industrial Hygiene 15 (10 master's, 5 doctoral); Occupational Medicine Residency 6; Occupational Health Nursing 15 (13 master's, 2 doctoral); Ergonomics 8 (3 master's, 5 doctoral); Occupational Injury Prevention 8 (6 doctoral, 2 integrative); Occupational Epidemiology 9 (5 master's, 4 doctoral); Agricultural Safety and Health 10 (7 master's, 3 doctoral); Continuing Education 1574. Objective: The training provided by the Heartland Center for Occupational Health and Safety will increase the number of trained occupational health and safety professionals in Federal Region VII (Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri) and strengthens the capabilities of occupational health and safety professionals to reduce the high rates of occupational disease and injury in this region.

描述（由申请人提供）：自 2000 年成立以来，Heartland 职业健康与安全中心一直作为联邦第七区和美国的资源，为职业健康与安全 (OHS) 专业的从业者和研究人员提供跨学科的研究生、研究生和住院医师培训。该中心的主要目的是解决联邦第七区的双重问题——高于美国平均水平的职业病和伤害率以及训练有素的职业健康与安全专业人员的短缺。中心已发展到职业卫生护理、职业医学、工业卫生、人体工程学、农业健康与安全、职业伤害预防、职业流行病学等7个研究生层次培养项目。该中心利用传统和创新的远程教育技术，积极开展继续教育和外展计划，覆盖该地区数百名从业人员。该提案是为了在未来五年内继续为该中心提供资金。每个计划领域预计每年的学员人数如下： 工业卫生 15 名（硕士 10 名，博士 5 名）；职业医学住院医师实习6；职业健康护理15个（硕士13个，博士2个）；人体工程学8个（硕士3个，博士5个）；职业伤害预防8个（6个博士，2个综合）；职业流行病学9个（硕士5个，博士4个）；农业安全与健康10个（硕士7个，博士3个）；继续教育 1574. 目标：中心地带职业健康和安全中心提供的培训将增加联邦第七区（爱荷华州、内布拉斯加州、堪萨斯州和密苏里州）受过培训的职业健康和安全专业人员的数量，并加强职业健康和安全专业人员的能力，以降低该地区职业病和伤害的高发生率。
