The purpose of this supplement is to attract and encourage underrepresented individuals to enter and pursue a professional career in occupational safety and health research.

NIOSH is limiting total costs of individual awards to $33,000 per year and expects that about $100,000K will be available for this program in FY-2009. Applications will be considered for research experiences of up to one year.
