NIOSH supports educational programs through training grant awards to academic institutions for the training of industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, occupational health nurses and safety professionals.

                    Training Project Grants (TPGs) which provide single discipline academic and technical training throughout the country. 42 CFR Part 86, Grants for Education Programs in Occupational Safety and Health, Subpart B-Occupational Safety and Health Training, provides guidelines for implementing Public Law 91-596. The training grant application form (CDC2.145.A) is used by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health to collect information from new grant applicants submitting competing applications, and from existing applicants for competing renewal grants. The information is used to determine the eligibility of applicants for grant review and by peer reviewers during the peer review process to evaluate the merit of the proposed training project. CDC Form 2.145B is used for non-competing awards to evaluate the annual progress of the applicant during the approved project period. Extramural training grant awards are made annually following an extramural review process of the training grant applications, review by an internal Training Grants Council and an internal review of non-competing applicants.
