 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal for the Southwest Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (SWCOEH) at the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH). The overall goal of the SWCOEH is to respond to the critical need for well-trained occupational and environmental health specialists by providing graduate level academic and research training and continuing education. The UTSPH has a unique, multi-campus system, with the main campus located in the Texas Medical Center in Houston and five regional campuses in Austin, Brownsville, Dallas, El Paso and San Antonio. The ERC programs, faculty and students are located in Houston and San Antonio primarily in the Division of Epidemiology, Human Genetics and Environmental Sciences and the Division of Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences with supporting faculty from other disciplines inside and outside of the UTSPH. All campuses are linked electronically, facilitating quality teaching and research, expanded course offerings, interdisciplinary collaboration and access to regional stakeholders as well as expanding our reach to minority student populations. The ERC has been continuously funded since it was established in 1977. The ERC provides master level training (2-3 years) in Industrial Hygiene, doctoral level training (3-4 years) in Occupational Epidemiology, and postdoctoral residencies (2 years) in Occupational Medicine. This application includes a request to fund a new doctoral program in Occupational Injury Prevention, which had received phase-out funding under the previous award. In addition to the academic degree programs, the ERC has active Continuing Education and Outreach Programs that provide a full spectrum of training opportunities, enhanced by annual support of pilot projects research training for new and transitional investigators. For the 2015 academic year, we expect to fund a total of 18 trainees: 5 in Industrial Hygiene, 5 in Occupational Epidemiology, 4 in Occupational Medicine and 4 in Injury Prevention; our Continuing Education Program plans to offer approximately 75 courses to about 2,000 participants and our Pilot Project Research Training Program plans to grant 7 to 8 awards to support occupational safety and health research in Public Health Region 6 (PHR 6).

 描述（由申请人提供）： 这是德克萨斯大学公共卫生学院（UTSPH）西南职业与环境健康中心（SWCOEH）的竞争性更新。SWCOEH的总体目标是通过提供研究生水平的学术和研究培训以及继续教育，满足对训练有素的职业和环境卫生专家的迫切需求。UTSPH拥有独特的多校区系统，主校区位于休斯顿的德克萨斯医疗中心，五个区域校区分别位于奥斯汀，布朗斯维尔，达拉斯，埃尔帕索和圣安东尼奥。ERC课程，教师和学生位于休斯顿和圣安东尼奥，主要在流行病学，人类遗传学和环境科学部门以及健康促进和行为科学部门，并与UTSPH内外其他学科的支持教师。所有校园都以电子方式连接，促进高质量的教学和研究，扩大课程设置，跨学科合作和接触区域利益相关者，以及扩大我们对少数民族学生的影响。紧急救济协调员自1977年成立以来一直得到资助。ERC提供工业卫生硕士培训（2-3年），职业流行病学博士培训（3-4年）和职业医学博士后实习（2年）。该申请包括资助一个新的职业伤害预防博士项目的请求，该项目在上一个奖项下获得了逐步淘汰资金。除了学术学位课程，ERC还积极开展继续教育和推广计划，提供全方位的培训机会，并通过每年为新的和过渡性调查人员提供试点项目研究培训的支持来加强。在2015学年，我们预计将资助18名受训人员：5名工业卫生人员、5名职业流行病学人员、4名职业医学人员和4名伤害预防人员;我们的继续教育计划计划提供约75门课程，000名参与者，我们的试点项目研究培训计划计划授予7至8个奖项，以支持公共卫生区域6的职业安全和健康研究（PHR 6）。
