Safety and Health Management of Hazards Associated with Emerging Technologies.

描述(由申请人提供) 哈佛大学公共卫生学院与杜兰大学公共卫生和热带医学院以及麻省理工学院合作，提出了一个与新兴技术相关的危险管理方面的三级教育和培训计划。该申请包括研究生水平的科学硕士学位课程，以及专业继续教育和远程教育课程。拟议的研究教育计划将培养专业从业者和研究人员，以解决与新兴技术相关的危险物质和条件的评估、处理和管理，如纳米技术、能源勘探和开发、医疗保健中的药物输送和可持续补救。 拟议的研究教育计划的总体目标有四个：制定与新兴技术相关的职业健康和安全、危险物质和条件的学术课程；招募和培训一批研究生(理学硕士学位)以及高管和专业继续教育以及与新兴技术相关的危险的远程学习；传播这项研究和教育的结果和发现；以及评估所提供培训的有效性。 该计划将包括三个领域的教育和培训： *设立研究生学位课程，以配合现有的职业卫生及预防受伤的理科硕士课程； *一套短期(3-5天)的行政和专业教育课程，帮助专业人员掌握管理与新兴技术有关的危险物质所需的技能、知识和经验； *举办一系列遥距学习课程，为职业生涯中期的健康和安全专业人员准备如何管理因新兴技术而导致的工作场所暴露。 所有三个领域(科学硕士研究生学位、行政和专业继续教育以及远程教育)的课程都将在与课程咨询委员会协商后编制。该委员会将由新兴技术的健康和安全考虑方面的利益相关者组成，并将包括学术界、工商界、政府、劳工和非营利组织。通过咨询咨询委员会和HSPH教育项目办公室的课程评估机制，调查人员将确保研究教育与超级基金研究计划承诺的短期课程、继续教育和新兴技术的健康和安全管理实践研究生培训相关。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The Harvard University School of Public Health, in partnership with the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, propose a three-tiered program of education and training in the management of hazards associated with emerging technologies. The application includes a graduate level Master of Science degree program, and professional continuing education and distance learning programs. The proposed research education program will prepare professional practitioners and researchers to address the evaluation, handling, and management of hazardous substances and conditions associated with emerging technologies such as nanotechnology, energy exploration and development, drug delivery in healthcare, and sustainable remediation. The overall objectives of the proposed research education program are fourfold: to develop an academic curriculum on occupational health and safety and hazardous substances and conditions related to emerging technologies; to recruit and train a cohort of students in graduate (Master of Science degree) programs, as well as executive and professional continuing education and distance learning on hazards associated with emerging technologies; to disseminate the results and findings of this research and education; and to evaluate the effectiveness of the training provided. The program will include education and training in three domains: * A graduate degree curriculum to complement their existing Master of Science program in occupational hygiene and injury prevention; * A set of short duration (3-5 day) executive and professional education courses that will prepare professionals in the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to manage hazardous substances associated with emerging technologies; * A series of distance learning courses to prepare mid-career health and safety professionals in the management of workplace exposures resulting from emerging technologies. The curriculum in all three domains (the graduate Master of Science degree, the executive and professional continuing education, and the distance learning) will be prepared in consultation with a Curriculum Advisory Board. This Board will be comprised of stakeholders in health and safety considerations of emerging technologies, and will include academics, business and industry, government, labor, and not-for-profit organizations. Through consultation with the advisory board, and the course evaluation mechanism with the HSPH Office of Educational Programs, the investigators will assure that the research education is relevant to the Superfund Research Program's commitment to short courses, continuing education, and graduate training on health and safety management practices for emerging technologies.
