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.

项目概要/摘要 亚利桑那大学 (UA) 工业卫生 (IH) 项目的目的是提供硕士学位 IH 核心职业安全与健康领域的研究生培训始于 1978 年。 位于梅尔和伊妮德·祖克曼公共卫生学院 (MEZCOPH) 共有三个方向：MPH、MS、 和博士；仅需要硕士学位课程的 NIOSH 支持 该计划由 14 (11) 指导。 正式和三名兼职）教职人员和由 OSH/IH 组成的工业咨询委员会 现有硕士研究生10名，博士研究生12名。 该 NIOSH 培训项目拨款申请的目的是为 IH 提供经济支持。 硕士生。 UA IH 计划的独特优势是我们关注采矿健康和安全以及与最近的关系 成立了矿业和矿产资源学院（SMMR），亚利桑那州和西南部是最富有的地区之一。 地球上铜及相关商品的资源丰富。 导致工作场所伤害和疾病的长期职业暴露历史。 提供健康安全的工作场所是专业 IH 的作用 UA IH 计划是唯一的计划。 西南部地区尚属此类，因此它必须为该地区提供大部分新的 IH 硕士课程。 需要四十二学分才能毕业，通常在两年内完成综合课程。 提供 IH 的关键领域，包括空气监测理论与实践、职业安全、物理 暴露、毒理学和环境健康课程的毕业生在以下领域找到职业安全与卫生专业人员的工作。 行业、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经历。 背景，他们可以期望在职业生涯早期参加 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 增加接受培训的 IH 数量，特别关注西南地区 2) 继续提供培训； 针对采矿业的接触，为学生提供实习和研究项目的机会；3) 4) 维持 CEPH 认证；并扩大重点培训、实习和学生研究机会 微生物暴露的多样性是该计划的优先事项，大学将继续提供支持。 这是通过强调整个西南部的多元化招聘来实现的。
