DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): We propose to develop and offer a training project grant (TPG) focused on agricultural health and safety for students seeking a Master of Public Health (MPH) or Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree. The program will be administered by the NIOSH-funded Southeast Center for Agricultural Health & Injury Prevention at the University of Kentucky College of Public Health. The proposed Health of Agricultural Populations (HAP) TPG will apply agricultural safety and health training across traditional public health coursework, research training and field experiences. The HAP-TPG will add cross-cutting competencies for occupational safety and health in agriculture into four public health disciplines, specifically health services management, health behavior, epidemiology, and environmental health. The HAP-TPG expands on a successful small-scale MPH and DrPH agricultural health curriculum funded in 2001 via the Southeast Center. The currently offered agricultural health curriculum sequence is not a TPG, and it provides only fractional tuition and research support without stipends. As of August 2005, 2 DrPH students and 2 MPH students have graduated with a HAP Emphasis Area designation, and 9 students (8 MPH and 1 DrPH) are currently enrolled in the HAP curriculum. We anticipate 6 additional students will join the program when fall semester 2005 classes begin. MPH students in the proposed HAP-TPG will require 41-44 semester hours to graduate, of which 20 semester hours will be directly related to agricultural health and safety and injury research. DrPH students in the proposed HAP-TPG will need to complete 74-78 semester hours to graduate, of which 23-29 semester hours will be HAP-TPG related. Between 2006 and 2011, at least 16 MPH and 4 DrPH graduates of the TPG are expected. Strong evaluation and diversity recruitment strategies are planned. The University of Kentucky is committing $58,128 per year for tuition for students enrolled in this TPG. The new TPG program is highly relevant to public health because it will increase the number of public health practitioners and researchers who address agricultural occupational problems through prevention, intervention, practice and research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议为寻求公共卫生硕士 (MPH) 或公共卫生博士学位 (DrPH) 学位的学生制定并提供专注于农业健康和安全的培训项目补助金 (TPG)。该计划将由 NIOSH 资助的肯塔基大学公共卫生学院东南农业健康与伤害预防中心管理。拟议的农业人口健康 (HAP) TPG 将在传统公共卫生课程、研究培训和实地经验中应用农业安全和健康培训。 HAP-TPG 将把农业职业安全和健康的跨领域能力纳入四个公共卫生学科，特别是卫生服务管理、健康行为、流行病学和环境健康。 HAP-TPG 扩展了 2001 年由东南中心资助的成功的小规模 MPH 和 DrPH 农业健康课程。目前提供的农业健康课程序列不是TPG，它只提供部分学费和研究支持，没有津贴。截至 2005 年 8 月，已有 2 名博士生和 2 名公共卫生硕士学生毕业并获得 HAP 重点领域称号，目前有 9 名学生（8 名公共卫生硕士和 1 名博士生）就读 HAP 课程。我们预计 2005 年秋季学期开课时将有另外 6 名学生加入该计划。拟议的 HAP-TPG 中的 MPH 学生将需要 41-44 个学期的时间才能毕业，其中 20 个学期的时间将与农业健康和安全以及伤害研究直接相关。拟议的 HAP-TPG 中的 DrPH 学生需要完成 74-78 个学期学时才能毕业，其中 23-29 个学期学时与 HAP-TPG 相关。 2006 年至 2011 年间，预计 TPG 至少有 16 名公共卫生硕士和 4 名公共卫生博士毕业生。计划进行强有力的评估和多元化招聘策略。肯塔基大学每年为参加此 TPG 的学生提供 58,128 美元的学费。新的TPG计划与公共卫生高度相关，因为它将增加通过预防、干预、实践和研究解决农业职业问题的公共卫生从业人员和研究人员的数量。
