DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Graduate Training Program in Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) at the University of Connecticut (UConn) recruits qualified graduate students in industrial/organizational psychology, nursing, public health, and occupational and environmental medicine for specialized training in occupational health psychology (OHP). The training goal is for these select students to become highly proficient at conducting multi-disciplinary research to benefit worker health and safety. Over the past six years, UConn has received, on average, approximately $60,000 per year from NIOSH to train these doctoral-level researchers. Trainees learn how to contribute to the OHP knowledge base and become highly capable at discovering or implementing new ways of maintaining and promoting worker health and safety. The training program follows a scientist-practitioner model in which trainees must complete 12-credits of prescribed course work, three credits of applied field or lab research under the supervision of OHP faculty, master- and dissertation-level research, and participate in faculty research labs. All trainees complete a graduate proseminar that covers principles of behavioral science, ergonomics and epidemiology and which requires development of a multidisciplinary research proposal, taught by core OHP faculty and also an epidemiologist from the School of Medicine. In addition, trainees complete a required epidemiology course and two elective graduate courses in psychology and/or public health that meet a required breadth requirement covering personnel/organizational psychology, human factors/ergonomics or public health. This combination of course content and applied research training is designed not only to equip trainees with the necessary skills to address today's occupational health problems, but also to enable them to introduce new concepts of work organization and workplace design that can enhance worker safety, health and productivity through proactive approaches to workplace interventions.

描述（由申请人提供）：康涅狄格大学（UConn）职业健康心理学（OHP）研究生培训项目招收合格的工业/组织心理学、护理、公共卫生、职业和环境医学研究生，接受职业健康心理学（OHP）专业培训。培训目标是让这些精选的学生能够高度熟练地进行多学科研究，以造福工人的健康和安全。在过去六年中，康涅狄格大学平均每年从 NIOSH 获得约 60,000 美元用于培训这些博士级研究人员。学员学习如何为 OHP 知识库做出贡献，并成为发现或实施维护和促进工人健康和安全的新方法的强大能力。该培训计划遵循科学家-从业者模式，其中学员必须完成 12 学分的规定课程作业、在 OHP 教师的监督下完成 3 学分的应用领域或实验室研究、硕士和论文级别的研究，并参与教师研究实验室。所有学员都完成了研究生研讨会，内容涵盖行为科学、人体工程学和流行病学原理，需要制定多学科研究计划，由 OHP 核心教员和医学院的流行病学家授课。此外，学员还完成必修的流行病学课程和两门心理学和/或公共卫生方面的选修研究生课程，满足人员/组织心理学、人为因素/人体工程学或公共卫生的广度要求。这种课程内容与应用研究培训的结合不仅旨在使学员具备解决当今职业健康问题的必要技能，而且使他们能够引入工作组织和工作场所设计的新概念，通过积极主动的工作场所干预方法来提高工人的安全、健康和生产力。
