 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(申请人提供)：科罗拉多州、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等山区和平原州共有一系列超出现有资源的共同问题：不断增长的人口；大量服务不足和少数族裔工人；与采矿、能源和农业等特定地区工作相关的健康问题；以及距离职业健康和安全卓越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，旨在将两所高等院校的教职员工和学生纳入一个综合的、多学科的中心，以改善工人的健康。MAP ERC的目标是促进职业健康和安全方面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外联；支持推进国家职业研究议程的试验性研究项目；以及改善在职业健康和安全相关领域的少数群体招聘和留住。MAP ERC包括科罗拉多大学、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学和职业与环境医学实习。三个联合项目提供健康物理学、职业人体工程学和职业健康心理学方面的研究生培训。所有学校都提供研究生或博士后/住院医师级别的培训。所有项目都致力于通过共享课程、实地经验、研究协作和会议来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涉及区域优先事项的R2P社区和学术项目，作为吸引初级调查人员和推进他们在该领域的职业生涯的刺激因素。继续教育特别强调为分散在不同地理位置的职业安全和健康劳动力提供最先进的在线课程。外联方案被整合到所有方案中，将许多地区性专业组织聚集在一起，为应对工作场所的挑战创造了合作机会。MAP ERC与大学和社区组织合作，将继续解决在职业健康和安全专业中增加少数群体的多样性和包容性的需要。MAP ERC与高原山间农业健康与安全中心、附属的工人健康与环境全员健康中心以及邻近的ERC和其他培训项目建立了合作伙伴关系。
