 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mountain and plains states of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota share a common set of problems that outstrip existing resources: rising population; large groups of underserved and minority workers; region-specific work-related health issues such as mining, energy, and agriculture; and geographic distance from educational centers of excellence in occupational health and safety. The Mountain and Plains Education and Research Center (MAP ERG) was founded in 2007 to incorporate faculty and students from two institutions of higher learning into an integrated, multidisciplinary Center, to improve worker health. The objectives of the MAP ERC are to promote interdisciplinary graduate education in occupational health and safety; to provide needs-based continuing education and outreach in an underserved region; to support pilot research projects that advance the National Occupational Research Agenda; and to improve minority recruitment and retention in the allied fields of occupational health and safety. The MAP ERC incorporates five training programs of the University of Colorado Denver and Colorado State University. Core programs include Industrial Hygiene and Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency. Three allied programs offer graduate training in Health Physics, Occupational Ergonomics, and Occupational Health Psychology. All provide either graduate or post-doctoral/residency level training. All programs are committed to providing a highly interdisciplinary educational experience through shared courses, field experiences, research collaboration, and conferences. The Pilot Projects Program rigorously reviews and supports R2P community and academic projects that address regional priorities, serving as a stimulus for attracting junior investigators and advancing their careers in the field. Continuing Education places particular emphasis on state-of-the-art online courses for a geographically dispersed occupational safety and health workforce. The Outreach Program is integrated into all programs, bringing together many regional professional organizations and creating collaborative opportunities for addressing workplace challenges. Working in concert with university and community organizations, the MAP ERC will continue to address the need for greater diversity and inclusion of minorities in occupational health and safety professions. The MAP ERC enjoys partnerships with the High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety and with the Affiliate Total Worker Health Center for Worker Health and Environment, and with neighboring ERCs and other Training Programs.

 描述（由申请人提供）：山区和平原的科罗拉多，新墨西哥州，亚利桑那州，怀俄明州，蒙大拿州，北达科他州和南达科他州共享一套共同的问题，超出了现有的资源：人口增长;大量的服务不足和少数民族工人;区域特定的工作相关的健康问题，如采矿，能源和农业;以及与职业健康和安全教育中心的地理距离。山区和平原教育和研究中心（MAP ERG）成立于2007年，将来自两所高等院校的教师和学生纳入一个综合的多学科中心，以改善工人健康。MAP ERC的目标是促进职业健康和安全的跨学科研究生教育;在服务不足的地区提供基于需求的继续教育和推广;支持推进国家职业研究议程的试点研究项目;并改善职业健康和安全相关领域的少数民族招聘和保留。MAP ERC整合了科罗拉多丹佛大学和科罗拉多州立大学的五个培训项目。核心课程包括工业卫生和职业与环境医学实习。三个联盟计划提供健康物理学，职业人体工程学和职业健康心理学的研究生培训。所有学校都提供研究生或博士后/住院医师培训。所有课程都致力于通过共享课程，实地经验，研究合作和会议提供高度跨学科的教育体验。 试点项目计划严格审查和支持解决区域优先事项的R2 P社区和学术项目，作为吸引初级调查人员和促进他们在该领域职业生涯的刺激因素。继续教育特别强调为地理上分散的职业安全和健康劳动力提供最先进的在线课程。外联方案被纳入所有方案，汇集了许多区域专业组织，并为解决工作场所的挑战创造合作机会。与大学和社区组织合作，MAP ERC将继续解决职业健康和安全专业中更大的多样性和包容少数群体的需求。MAP ERC与High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety和Affiliate Total Worker Health Center for Worker Health and Environment以及邻近的ERC和其他培训计划建立了合作伙伴关系。
