Superfund Research Program

The Superfund Research Program (SRP) Progress in Research webinars feature work being initiated by recently awarded grant recipients. The purpose of these webinars is to facilitate a dialogue between the researchers, field practitioners, and stakeholders early in the stages of research progress so that these new projects are on a trajectory for successful technology transfer and application by end users.

Emerging Technologies in Occupational Health and Safety
This Progress in Research webinar series will showcase federally funded researchers developing curricula and educational programs focused on emergent technologies in the sphere of occupational health and safety. Over the three sessions, awardees will highlight their research projects, accomplishments, and demonstrate research products – included in this group of researchers are SRP’s 7 R25 grant recipients. SRP is also pleased to welcome participation from the NIEHS Worker Training Program (WTP) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH).
