DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) College of Public Health provides graduate education leading to the Master of Science (MS) degree in Industrial Hygiene and Environmental Health Sciences (IH/EHS). The goal of the IH/EHS program 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 IH/EHS degree has been prized by employers and students because graduates are prepared to direct environmental compliance programs, as well as occupational health and safety programs. The IH/EHS program at OUHSC is one of only four ABET-accredited masters level industrial hygiene programs in the south central United States. The program has been accredited by the Applied Science Accreditation Commission (ASAC) of ABET since 2000. The curriculum consists of 48 semester hours of coursework, including masters thesis research and a field practice experience, and it can be completed in 21-24 months of full-time study. Some courses are taught in innovative compressed format to better serve the needs of students who are working professionals. The OEH Department consists of 7 full-time faculty with diverse research interests and rich experience in professional practice. The Department is well-equipped with laboratory and field sampling instruments in support of the training program. The Specific Aims of the proposed continuation of the NIOSH training project grant (TPG) are: (1) to attract highly qualified and motivated students, including individuals with cultural or linguistic fluency relatedto underserved populations, into the industrial hygiene profession and (2) to recruit students with diverse technical backgrounds who are interested in entering the industrial hygiene field. TPG funds will be used to support four traineeship slots per year, to be filled by full-time masters-level trainees. Trainees may be supported on the TPG for up to 24 months. It is anticipated that 10 new and 2 continuing trainees will be supported during the 5-year project period. The program has traditionally drawn well-prepared applicants from a number of undergraduate programs in the region. Oklahoma colleges have relatively high American Indian enrollments reflecting the state's unique ethnic mix, presenting an excellent pool of well-qualified prospectiv trainees from under-represented minorities. Recruitment 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心 (OUHSC) 公共卫生学院职业与环境健康系 (OEH) 提供研究生教育，获得工业卫生与环境理学硕士学位 (MS)健康科学（IH/EHS）。 IH/EHS 项目的目标是培养专业从业人员将科学知识应用于对影响人类健康的环境危害或压力的预测、识别、评估和控制。 IH/EHS 学位受到雇主和学生的青睐，因为毕业生准备指导环境合规计划以及职业健康和安全计划。 OUHSC 的 IH/EHS 项目是美国中南部仅有的四个 ABET 认证的硕士级工业卫生项目之一。该项目自 2000 年起获得 ABET 应用科学认证委员会 (ASAC) 的认可。课程由 48 个学期的课程组成，包括硕士论文研究和现场实践经验，可在 21-24 个月内完成。全日制学习。有些课程以创新的压缩格式教授，以更好地满足职业学生的需求。 OEH部门由7名全职教师组成，他们具有不同的研究兴趣和丰富的专业实践经验。该部门配备了齐全的实验室和现场采样仪器来支持培训计划。拟议继续提供 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，包括与服务不足人群相关的文化或语言流利的个人进入工业卫生专业，以及 (2)招收具有不同技术背景、有兴趣进入工业卫生领域的学生。 TPG 资金将用于支持每年四个实习生名额，由全职硕士级实习生填补。学员可以获得 TPG 长达 24 个月的支持。预计在 5 年项目期间将支持 10 名新学员和 2 名继续学员。传统上，该项目从该地区的许多本科项目中吸引了准备充分的申请者。俄克拉荷马州大学的美国印第安人入学率相对较高，反映出该州独特的种族混合，为来自代表性不足的少数族裔提供了一批优秀的合格的未来学员。招聘还将针对在卫生专业、工程、化学和环境科学领域具有工作经验、希望过渡到工业卫生实践的个人。
