NIOSH Extramural Research and Training
 Training Project Grants


Key points
 Training Project Grants (TPGs) help prepare the next generation of occupational safety and health professionals.
Most TPGs are in academic institutions and support academic programs in occupational safety, industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, and allied disciplines.
Non-academic TPGs help meet specific training needs.
 Medical students in a classroom
 Purpose The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 requires NIOSH to provide an adequate supply of qualified personnel to implement it. The TPGs have a key role in meeting this mandate. This program provides state-of-the-art training for the next generation of leaders in occupational safety and health practice and research. The majority of TPGs are in academic institutions. They provide high quality training though specific undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate programs. TPGs support traineeships that cover stipends, tuition and fees, and travel for a limited number of students in eligible degree programs. NIOSH funds non-academic TPGs to meet specific training needs, such as those of firefighters and commercial fisherman. NIOSH also funds Occupational Health Internship Program at the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics. This TPG helps increase diversity among health and safety practitioners.
 Impact TPGs play a significant role in preparing the occupational safety and health workforce for the future. They will need to respond to the challenges posed by the changing nature of work. The majority of TPGs are in academic settings and provide well-trained graduates, professionals and researchers who go on to work for: Federal, state, and local government agencies
Non-profit organizations
Academic institutions
Industry organizations and businesses
Healthcare organizations
Labor organizations **TPGs help meet our nation's need for skilled, knowledgeable practitioners and researchers in occupational safety and health. They also help enhance the diversity of the occupational safety and health workforce.
