DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Occupational Safety and Health Training Program at the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center's School of Rural Public Health (TAMHSC SRPH) delivers focused training in occupational safety and health, with available concentrations in safety, health, and ergonomics for masters level (MPH and MSPH) students. Students completing the program possess knowledge and skills in the general concepts of developing problems and solutions with cost/benefit analysis related to occupational safety and health/wellness, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, occupational disease, human anatomy, user-computer interaction, displays and controls, information processing, industrial process safety, epidemiology, vibration control, and statistics. The Occupational Safety and Health program, first at Texas A&M University (TAMU) and now at TAMHSC SRPH, has a long history of producing highly qualified safety practitioners. The success of the program is demonstrated by the aggressive recruitment of TAMHSC SRPH graduates by industry, healthcare, academia, and governmental agencies. Originally established in the TAMU College of Engineering through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the program and course faculty transferred to TAMHSC SRPH in 2002. In Summer 2009, the current Program received an initial three year award through the NIOSH T1 funding mechanism. The primary strengths of the TAMHSC SRPH program are the extensive faculty expertise and experience in safety and health, medicine, engineering, industrial hygiene, and ergonomics; the program's critical ties to industry partners, enabling not only capstone field training opportunitis and internships for students but placement of graduates in professional positions with these industry leaders; and the ability to attract a diverse student body via the school's commitment to and investment in innovative distributed learning technologies. TAMHSC SRPH has been on the cutting edge of eLearning distributed learning technology since the school's inception in 1998. Qualified students in the Training Program may pursue their degree through a combination of on-campus, distance learning, or distributed learning methods. With the NIOSH training grant funding, this historically successful program will be able to recruit and retain, ona competitive basis, the best trainee candidates in the country. While the program has been able to recruit and maintain a highly qualified and successful faculty, including professional engineers, medical doctors, certified professional ergonomists, and certified industrial hygienists, the NIOSH funding is greatly needed and will assist in recruiting and retaining new, highly qualified students and faculty members. For the proposed 5 year renewal period, the NIOSH funding will provide stipend support for five (5) pre- doctoral trainees each year as well as continued and expanded program recruitment and retention efforts.

描述（由申请人提供）：职业安全与健康培训计划在得克萨斯州A&M大学系统健康科学中心的农村公共卫生学院（TAMHSC SRPH）提供职业安全与健康方面的重点培训，为硕士水平（MPH和MSPH）的学生提供安全，健康和人体工程学方面的集中培训。完成该计划的学生拥有开发问题和解决方案的一般概念的知识和技能，并具有与职业安全和健康/健康，人体工程学，工业卫生，职业病，人体解剖学，用户-计算机交互，显示和控制，信息处理，工业过程安全，流行病学，振动控制和统计学相关的成本/效益分析。 职业安全与健康计划，首先在得克萨斯州A&M大学（TAMU），现在在TAMHSC SRPH，有生产高素质的安全从业人员的悠久历史。该计划的成功是由行业，医疗保健，学术界和政府机构积极招聘TAMHSC SRPH毕业生证明。最初通过国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）在TAMU工程学院成立，该计划和课程教师于2002年转移到TAMHSC SRPH。2009年夏天，目前的方案通过NIOSH T1资助机制获得了最初的三年奖。TAMHSC SRPH计划的主要优势是在安全和健康，医学，工程，工业卫生和人体工程学方面的广泛的教师专业知识和经验;该计划与行业合作伙伴的重要联系，不仅使顶点现场培训机会和学生实习，而且将毕业生安置在这些行业领导者的专业职位上;以及通过学校对创新的分布式学习技术的承诺和投资来吸引多样化学生的能力。 自1998年学校成立以来，TAMHSC SRPH一直处于电子学习分布式学习技术的前沿。在培训计划合格的学生可以通过在校园内，远程学习，或分布式学习方法的组合追求他们的学位。有了NIOSH培训补助金的资助，这个历史上成功的项目将能够在竞争的基础上招募和留住全国最好的实习生候选人。虽然该计划已经能够招募和维持一个高素质和成功的教师，包括专业工程师，医生，认证的专业人体工程学家，和认证的工业生物学家，NIOSH资金是非常需要的，并将有助于招聘和留住新的，高素质的学生和教师。 在拟议的5年续约期内，NIOSH资金将每年为五（5）名博士前学员提供助学金支持，并继续和扩大项目招聘和保留工作。
