The mining research program collaborates and works closely with a broad spectrum of the mining community. The stakeholder and customer list is extensive, including industry, labor, academia, government agencies, equipment manufacturers and professional organizations both domestic and international. These organizations are often times research partners, as described in the previous section, as well as users of our technology and scientific findings, peer reviewers, recipients of research grants and contracts and providers of equipment, technology or knowledge for advancing research in the mining community. The following list of stakeholders and customers is not intended to be exhaustive but instead is indicative of the wide-range of organizations that are served by the mining health and safety research program.
