DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): We propose to develop and offer a training project grant (TPG) focused on agricultural health and safety for students seeking a Master of Public Health (MPH) or Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree. The program will be administered by the NIOSH-funded Southeast Center for Agricultural Health & Injury Prevention at the University of Kentucky College of Public Health. The proposed Health of Agricultural Populations (HAP) TPG will apply agricultural safety and health training across traditional public health coursework, research training and field experiences. The HAP-TPG will add cross-cutting competencies for occupational safety and health in agriculture into four public health disciplines, specifically health services management, health behavior, epidemiology, and environmental health. The HAP-TPG expands on a successful small-scale MPH and DrPH agricultural health curriculum funded in 2001 via the Southeast Center. The currently offered agricultural health curriculum sequence is not a TPG, and it provides only fractional tuition and research support without stipends. As of August 2005, 2 DrPH students and 2 MPH students have graduated with a HAP Emphasis Area designation, and 9 students (8 MPH and 1 DrPH) are currently enrolled in the HAP curriculum. We anticipate 6 additional students will join the program when fall semester 2005 classes begin. MPH students in the proposed HAP-TPG will require 41-44 semester hours to graduate, of which 20 semester hours will be directly related to agricultural health and safety and injury research. DrPH students in the proposed HAP-TPG will need to complete 74-78 semester hours to graduate, of which 23-29 semester hours will be HAP-TPG related. Between 2006 and 2011, at least 16 MPH and 4 DrPH graduates of the TPG are expected. Strong evaluation and diversity recruitment strategies are planned. The University of Kentucky is committing $58,128 per year for tuition for students enrolled in this TPG. The new TPG program is highly relevant to public health because it will increase the number of public health practitioners and researchers who address agricultural occupational problems through prevention, intervention, practice and research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议开发和提供培训项目补助金（TPG），重点是为寻求公共卫生硕士（MPH）或公共卫生博士（DrPH）学位的学生提供农业健康和安全。该计划将由NIOSH资助的东南农业健康与伤害预防中心在肯塔基州大学公共卫生学院管理。拟议的农业人口健康（HAP）TPG将在传统的公共卫生课程，研究培训和实地经验中应用农业安全和健康培训。HAP-TPG将把农业职业安全和健康的跨领域能力纳入四个公共卫生学科，特别是卫生服务管理、健康行为、流行病学和环境卫生。HAP-TPG扩展了2001年通过东南中心资助的成功的小规模MPH和DrPH农业健康课程。目前提供的农业健康课程序列不是TPG，它只提供部分学费和研究支持，没有津贴。截至2005年8月，2名DrPH学生和2名MPH学生毕业时获得了HAP重点领域的称号，目前有9名学生（8名MPH和1名DrPH）参加了HAP课程。我们预计在2005年秋季学期开始时将有另外6名学生加入该项目。在拟议的HAP-TPG的MPH学生将需要41-44学时毕业，其中20学时将直接与农业健康和安全以及伤害研究。DrPH学生在拟议的HAP-TPG将需要完成74-78学期小时毕业，其中23-29学期小时将与HAP-TPG相关。2006年至2011年期间，预计至少有16名公共卫生硕士和4名公共卫生博士毕业。强有力的评估和多样性招聘战略已制定。肯塔基州大学承诺每年为参加该TPG的学生提供58,128美元的学费。新的TPG计划与公共卫生高度相关，因为它将增加通过预防，干预，实践和研究解决农业职业问题的公共卫生从业人员和研究人员的数量。
