DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) College of Public Health provides graduate education leading to the Master of Science (MS) degree in Industrial Hygiene and Environmental Health Sciences (IH/EHS). The goal of the IH/EHS program is to prepare professional practitioners to apply scientific knowledge to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of environmental hazards or stresses affecting human health. The IH/EHS degree has been prized by employers and students because graduates are prepared to direct environmental compliance programs, as well as occupational health and safety programs. The IH/EHS program at OUHSC is one of only four ABET-accredited masters level industrial hygiene programs in the south central United States. The program has been accredited by the Applied Science Accreditation Commission (ASAC) of ABET since 2000. The curriculum consists of 48 semester hours of coursework, including masters thesis research and a field practice experience, and it can be completed in 21-24 months of full-time study. Some courses are taught in innovative compressed format to better serve the needs of students who are working professionals. The OEH Department consists of 7 full-time faculty with diverse research interests and rich experience in professional practice. The Department is well-equipped with laboratory and field sampling instruments in support of the training program. The Specific Aims of the proposed continuation of the NIOSH training project grant (TPG) are: (1) to attract highly qualified and motivated students, including individuals with cultural or linguistic fluency relatedto underserved populations, into the industrial hygiene profession and (2) to recruit students with diverse technical backgrounds who are interested in entering the industrial hygiene field. TPG funds will be used to support four traineeship slots per year, to be filled by full-time masters-level trainees. Trainees may be supported on the TPG for up to 24 months. It is anticipated that 10 new and 2 continuing trainees will be supported during the 5-year project period. The program has traditionally drawn well-prepared applicants from a number of undergraduate programs in the region. Oklahoma colleges have relatively high American Indian enrollments reflecting the state's unique ethnic mix, presenting an excellent pool of well-qualified prospectiv trainees from under-represented minorities. Recruitment will also target individuals with work experience in the health professions, engineering, chemistry, and environmental science who wish to make the transition into industrial hygiene practice.

描述（由申请人提供）：俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心（OUHSC）公共卫生学院职业与环境卫生部（OEH）提供研究生教育，以获得工业卫生与环境健康科学硕士学位（MS）学位（IH/EHS）。 IH/EHS计划的目的是使专业从业人员将科学知识应用于对影响人类健康的环境危害或压力的预期，认可，评估和控制。 IH/EHS学位受到雇主和学生的评价，因为毕业生准备指导环境合规计划以及职业健康与安全计划。 OUHSC的IH/EHS计划是美国中南部仅有的四个由Abet认可的大师级工业卫生计划之一。该计划自2000年以来已被ABET的应用科学认证委员会（ASAC）认可。该课程由48个学期的课程组成，包括硕士学位论文研究和现场实践经验，并且可以在21-24个月的全日制研究中完成。一些课程以创新的压缩格式教授，以更好地满足在职专业人士的学生的需求。 OEH部门由7个全职教师组成，具有多样化的研究兴趣和丰富的专业实践经验。该部门配备了实验室和现场抽样工具，以支持培训计划。 NIOSH培训项目补助金（TPG）的拟议延续的具体目的是：（1）吸引高素质和积极进取的学生，包括具有文化或语言流利性人群相关的人群的人，进入工业卫生专业，以及（2）以招募有多样化的技术背景的学生，他们有兴趣进入工业水域。 TPG资金将用于支持每年的四个训练老虎机，由全职硕士级学员填补。可以在TPG上支持24个月的学员。预计在5年期间，将支持10名新的和2名持续的学员。该计划传统上吸引了该地区许多本科课程的准备好的申请人。俄克拉荷马州的学院的入学率相对较高，反映了该州独特的种族组合，从代表性不足的少数群体中展示了一大量合格的探望者学员。招聘还将针对希望过渡到工业卫生实践的健康专业，工程，化学和环境科学方面的工作经验的人。
