DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of North Alabama (UNA) Industrial Hygiene (IH) Program is currently one of five baccalaureate programs in IH accredited in the U.S. UNA has earned a reputation for graduating a pool of qualified industrial hygienists who are providing valuable services to workers and employers in this geographical region and beyond. The continuation of the NIOSH Training Project Grant (TPG) is essential to maintain the current expectations of academic quality, to expand into new and promising foreseeable opportunities, and to be effective in recruiting and retaining students with good scholastic merits. Therefore, the objectives of this proposal for the continuation of the NIOSH-TPG are threefold: (i) support the efforts of continuous academic improvement; (ii) promote the recruitment of qualified students into the OH&S field; and (iii) expand the educational opportunities and services of the IH Program. Continuous improvement will be approached by periodic evaluations of program objectives, annual evaluations of educational outcomes and by timely corrections of shortcomings. Recruitment will be promoted by academic scholarships (NIOSH TPG and departmental) and planned activities to reach out potential candidates including minorities (mailings, presentations, participation in the annual UNA Preview Day and the annual Department of Chemistry and IH open house). Educational opportunities will be sought after to support international graduate program agreements (occupational health and safety, OH&S concentration in MBAs) and the new engineering technology option to be offered at UNA (service, delivering the OH&S component). The NIOSH TPG has been pivotal in helping this small baccalaureate program in IH, housed at a regional university, reach a noticeable role as a contributor to the national advancement of OH&S. The discontinuation of this grant will undoubtedly hinder our efforts, principally by affecting enrollment and graduation rates.

描述（由申请人提供）：北阿拉巴马大学 (UNA) 工业卫生 (IH) 项目目前是美国认可的五个 IH 学士学位项目之一。UNA 已 因培养了一批合格的工业卫生学家而赢得了声誉，他们为该地理区域及其他地区的工人和雇主提供有价值的服务。继续提供 NIOSH 培训项目补助金 (TPG) 对于维持当前对学术质量的期望、拓展新的、有前途的可预见机会以及有效地招募和留住具有良好学业成绩的学生至关重要。因此，本提案的目标是 NIOSH-TPG 的延续有三个方面：(i) 支持持续学术改进的努力； (ii) 促进招募合格学生进入职业健康安全领域； (iii) 扩大 IH 计划的教育机会和服务。将通过定期评估计划目标、每年评估教育成果以及及时纠正不足来实现持续改进。将通过学术奖学金促进招聘 （NIOSH TPG 和部门）并计划开展活动以接触包括少数族裔在内的潜在候选人（邮寄、演示、参加年度 UNA 预览日以及年度化学系和 IH 开放日）。将寻求教育机会来支持国际研究生项目协议（职业健康与安全、MBA 中的职业健康与安全重点）以及 UNA 将提供的新工程技术选项（服务、交付 职业健康安全部分）。 NIOSH TPG 在帮助 IH 的这个位于地区大学的小型学士学位项目作为国家职业健康安全进步的贡献者发挥着重要作用方面发挥了关键作用。停止这项资助无疑会阻碍我们的努力，主要是影响入学率和毕业率。
