Graduate Industrial Hygiene Training Program Grant, University of Arizona

描述（由申请人提供）：此拟议的培训计划补助金将提供核心职业安全和工业卫生健康领域的研究生培训，以协助NIOSH实现其提供合格人员执行《职业安全和健康法》的目标。亚利桑那大学在工业卫生专业教育本科生和研究生方面有着悠久的历史，亚利桑那州和全国对合格工业卫生学家的需求再次增加。在西南地区继续实施高质量的工业卫生计划有助于满足该地区对训练有素的职业卫生专业人员的强烈需求。亚利桑那州的计划也作为信息，研究和专业发展需要为该地区的执业专业人士的焦点的重要功能。这项培训补助金将提供津贴资金，以吸引和支持高素质的申请人。MPH学位的目的是让学生为涉及专业实践和/或研究的工业卫生职业做好准备。在工业卫生研究生课程的共同核心中强调了工业健康危害的预测，识别，评估和控制方面的专业培训。夏季实习是必要的MPH学生，最终与实习报告和介绍给同行和公众。研究生要求还包括研究技术报告的准备和辩护，该报告为确保学生在工业卫生领域工作的科学价值做好了准备。鉴于国家和全球对具有采矿经验的工业卫生学家的需求以及我们与亚利桑那大学采矿和地质工程系的广泛合作关系，我们的计划将特别关注采矿健康和安全，除了我们的标准工业卫生课程。我们的工业卫生学员将有机会参加采矿健康和安全方面的专业课程，并测量和帮助控制亚利桑那大学圣泽维尔地下矿山内的暴露，作为其常规工业卫生课程的一部分。他们还将在圣泽维尔矿山提供研究机会，以及位于亚利桑那州内外的矿业公司的研究和实习机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed Training Program Grant will provide graduate training in the core occupational safety and health area of Industrial Hygiene, to assist NIOSH in meeting its goal of supplying qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The University of Arizona has a long history of educating undergraduate and graduate students in the Industrial Hygiene profession, and the need for qualified Industrial Hygienists in Arizona and nationally is again on the increase. The continuation of a high quality Industrial Hygiene program in the Southwest helps to meet a strong demand for well-trained occupational health professionals in a region experiencing high growth. The Arizona program also serves an important function as a focal point for information, research, and professional development needs for the region's practicing professionals. This training grant will provide funds for stipends to attract and support highly qualified applicants. The purpose of the MPH degree is to prepare students for Industrial Hygiene careers involving professional practice and/or research. Specialized training in the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of industrial health hazards is emphasized in a common core of required Industrial Hygiene graduate courses. A summer internship is required for MPH students, culminating with an internship report and a presentation to peers and the public. Graduate requirements also include the preparation and defense of a research technical report, which prepares students for ensuring the scientific merit of their work in the field of Industrial Hygiene. Given the national and global need for Industrial Hygienists with experience in mining and our extensive partnership with the Department of Mining and Geological Engineering at the University of Arizona, our program will have a special focus on mining health and safety, in addition to our standard Industrial Hygiene curriculum. Our Industrial Hygiene trainees will have opportunities to take specialized courses in mining health and safety and to measure and help control exposures within the University of Arizona San Xavier underground mine as part of their regular Industrial Hygiene coursework. They will also be offered research opportunities at the San Xavier mine as well as research and internship opportunities with mining companies located in and outside Arizona.
