and occupational safety. The Educational Resource Development
Branch of the Division of Training and Manpower Development,
NIOSH monitors the grants to assure programmatic progress.

University of California-Berkeley, University of Illinois
Chicago, University of Minnesota and University of Utah. These
programs are concentrating on agricultural hygiene, continuing
education courses and publications, agriculture-related medicine
residencies, a Visiting Scholar's program, and academic curriculum
