Project Summary/Abstract The purpose of the University of Arizona’s (UA) Industrial Hygiene (IH) Program is to provide master’s level graduate training in the core occupational safety and health area of IH. The Program began in 1978 and is housed in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health (MEZCOPH). There are three tracks: MPH, MS, and PhD; NIOSH support is requested only for the master’s degree programs. The Program is guided by 14 (11 regular and three adjunct) faculty members and an Industrial Advisory Committee made up of OSH/IH professionals from the region. There are currently ten masters’ students and twelve doctoral students in the program. The purpose of this NIOSH Training Project Grant funding application is to financially support IH master’s students. A unique strength of the UA IH program is our focus on mining health and safety and relationship with the recently formed School of Mining and Mineral Resources (SMMR). Arizona and the Southwest have one of the richest endowments of copper and related commodities on the planet. The mineral resource development industry has a long history of occupational exposures that lead to workplace injury and illness. Solving these problems and providing a healthy and safe workplace is the role of the professional IH. The UA IH program is the only program of its kind in the Southwest so it must provide the bulk of the new IHs for the region. The master's’ programs require forty-two credit hours to graduate, usually accomplished in two years. Comprehensive coursework is provided in the key areas of IH including air monitoring theory and practice, occupational safety, physical exposures, toxicology, and environmental health. Program graduates find employment as OSH professionals in industry, government, and academia. With education obtained in the program, and depending on their previous background, they can expect to sit for the CIH and/or CSP exam early in their career. The program goals for the next budget period are: 1) to continue to provide MPH and MS level IH training to increase the number of trained IHs, with a particular focus on the Southwest; 2) to continue to provide training specific to exposures in the mining industry with opportunities for student internships and research projects; 3) to maintain CEPH accreditation; 4) and to expand training, internship and student research opportunities focused on microbiological exposures. Diversity is a priority for the program, and the University will continue to support this through its emphasis on diversity recruiting throughout the southwest.

项目摘要/摘要 亚利桑那大学（UA）工业卫生（IH）计划的目的是提供硕士学位 IH核心占领安全和健康领域的研究生培训。该计划始于1978年，是 位于Mel和Enid Zuckerman公共卫生学院（Mezcoph）中。有三个曲目：MPH，MS， 和博士学位；仅针对硕士学位课程要求NIOSH支持。该程序由14（11 由OSH/IH组成的常规和三名辅助教师和工业咨询委员会 来自该地区的专业人士。目前有十个硕士学生和十二个博士生 程序。这个NIOSH培训项目赠款申请的目的是在财务上支持IH 大师的学生。 UA IH计划的独特优势是我们专注于采矿健康和安全以及与最近的关系 成立采矿和矿产资源学校（SMMR）。亚利桑那州和西南部是最富有的人之一 地球上铜和相关商品的捐赠。矿产资源开发行业有 长期导致工作场所伤害和疾病的职业暴露历史。解决这些问题， 专业IH的角色是提供健康安全的工作场所。 UA IH程序是唯一的程序 在西南部，它必须为该地区提供大部分新的IHS。师父的程序 通常需要四十二个学分才能毕业，通常在两年内完成。全面的课程工作是 在IH的关键领域提供，包括空气监测理论和实践，职业安全，身体 暴露，毒理学和环境健康。课程毕业生在 工业，政府和学术界。在该计划中获得的教育，并取决于他们以前的教育 背景，他们可以期望在职业生涯的早期参加CIH和/或CSP考试。 下一个预算期的计划目标是：1）继续提供MPH和MS级别的IH培训 增加训练有素的IHS数量，特别关注西南； 2）继续提供培训 特定于采矿业的暴露，并提供学生实习和研究项目的机会； 3） 维持CEPH的认证； 4）并扩大培训，实习和学生研究机会的重点 关于微生物的暴露。多样性是该计划的优先事项，大学将继续支持 这在整个西南部招募多样性的过程中。
