Project Summary/Abstract The Department of Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) Hudson College of Public Health provides graduate education leading to the Master of Science (MS) degree in Industrial Hygiene and Environmental Health Sciences (IH/EHS) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Occupational and Environmental Health. The MS in IH/EHS at OUHSC is one of only four ABET-accredited masters level industrial hygiene programs in the south central United States. The goal of the MS in IH/EHS is to prepare professional practitioners to apply scientific knowledge to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of environmental hazards or stresses affecting human health. The MS curriculum, which emphasizes both quantitative skills and effective communication, consists of 48 semester hours of coursework, including masters thesis research and a field practice experience, and can be completed in 22-24 months of full-time study. The goal of the PhD degree in OEH is to prepare graduates to impart and/or add to knowledge in occupational health through careers in academia or research. The PhD curriculum includes advanced didactic coursework in environmental sciences, epidemiology, biostatistics, and research methods related to occupational health, and a doctoral dissertation within the broad field of occupational and environmental health. The specific aims of the proposed renewal of the NIOSH training project grant (TPG) are: (1) to attract highly qualified and motivated students, including individuals with cultural or linguistic fluency related to underserved populations, into the industrial hygiene profession; (2) to recruit students with diverse technical backgrounds who are interested in entering the industrial hygiene field; and (3) to recruit and train very promising research-oriented students in industrial hygiene research. TPG funds will be used to support six traineeship slots per year, to be filled by full-time masters-level trainees and up to 2 full-time doctoral-level trainees. Trainees in the MS program may be supported on the TPG for up to 24 months. Trainees in the PhD program may be supported for up to 5 years. Oklahoma colleges have relatively high American Indian enrollments reflecting the state's unique ethnic mix, presenting an excellent pool of well qualified prospective trainees from under-represented minorities. Recruitment for the MS program will also target individuals with work experience in the health professions, engineering, chemistry, and environmental science who wish to make the transition into industrial hygiene practice. Recruitment for the PhD will target highly qualified individuals with BS or MS degrees in science or engineering that provide a solid foundation for industrial hygiene research.

项目概要/摘要 俄克拉荷马大学健康分校职业与环境健康系 (OEH) 哈德逊公共卫生学院科学中心 (OUHSC) 提供通向硕士学位的研究生教育 工业卫生与环境健康科学 (IH/EHS) 理学学士 (MS) 和工业卫生与环境健康科学 (IH/EHS) 博士学位 职业与环境健康哲学（博士学位）学位。 OUHSC 的 IH/EHS 硕士是仅有的四位 ABET 认证的工业卫生硕士级别之一 美国中南部的项目。 IH/EHS MS 的目标是培养专业人士 从业者应用科学知识来预测、识别、评估和控制 影响人类健康的环境危害或压力。 MS课程强调两者 定量技能和有效沟通，包括 48 个学期的课程，包括 硕士论文研究和现场实践经验，可以在 22-24 个月的全日制时间内完成 学习。 OEH 博士学位的目标是让毕业生做好传授和/或增加知识的准备 通过学术界或研究领域的职业健康。博士课程包括高级教学 环境科学、流行病学、生物统计学和相关研究方法的课程作业 职业健康，以及职业和环境广泛领域的博士论文 健康。 拟议更新 NIOSH 培训项目补助金 (TPG) 的具体目标是：(1) 吸引 高素质和积极主动的学生，包括具有与以下领域相关的文化或语言流利性的个人 服务不足的人群进入工业卫生行业； （二）招收具有多元化技术背景的学生 有志于进入工业卫生领域的背景； (3) 招募和培训非常 工业卫生研究领域有前途的研究型学生。 TPG资金将用于支持六个 每年的实习名额，由全日制硕士级实习生和最多 2 名全日制博士级实习生填补 实习生。 MS 计划的学员可以获得 TPG 长达 24 个月的支持。学员在 博士课程可得到长达 5 年的支持。 俄克拉荷马州大学的美洲印第安人入学率相对较高，反映了该州独特的种族 混合，呈现出来自代表性不足的少数族裔的优秀合格的潜在学员。 MS项目的招聘还将针对具有卫生专业工作经验的个人， 希望过渡到工业卫生领域的工程、化学和环境科学专业人士 实践。博士的招聘将针对具有科学或技术学士或硕士学位的高素质人才 工程，为工业卫生研究提供坚实的基础。
