Purpose of the Awardee Meeting
The semi-annual WTP Awardee Meeting brings awardees together to provide program updates, exchange information regarding training, and discover new areas of interest to awardees.
Purpose and Scope of the Workshop
This workshop provided a forum for NIEHS WTP grantees, key stakeholders, and experts to discuss the following topics as they relate to infectious disease:
- successful training models,
- training priorities need to inform public health practice, and
- worker training programs that can be implemented under real-world conditions.
This meeting helped NIEHS WTP partners better understand the worker-related risk of emerging infectious diseases and implement adequate interventions to mitigate that risk across a broad scope of occupational settings.
