Program Description		The program vision is to build global capacity and collaboration to better understand, investigate, control and prevent environmental and occupational health problems in developing countries and in the United States. The broad objectives are to YYYYYYY " 1. Provide research training for scientists from developing countries in a variety of disciplines necessary to identify, prevent and mitigate EOH risks. Training must be targeted toward individuals who will pursue responsible positions in research and EOH-oriented public health in their home countries. Whereas impact is greatest with in-country investigations, a high rate of return to the trainees’ home country is a critical facet of this program. 2. Develop and strengthen centers of research excellence in environmental and occupational health-related sciences in target countries through long-term partnerships with U.S. institutions, with particular emphasis on research activities that will have the potential to benefit a whole region. 3. Complement and reinforce environmental and occupational health research and training activities that support goals of the NIH and partner agencies both at home and abroad. 4. Facilitate the transition of trainees to positions of responsibility, authority, and influence in their home countries, regionally, and internationally. 5. Translate the results of research into clinical and public health practice. 6. Provide central information, public outreach and training resources at developing country institutions in regions of program focus. This activity is optional in the ITREOH application and should be presented separately with a separate budget. Up to $50,000 direct costs of additional funding may be requested. This section of the application will be reviewed and evaluated and given an informal independent separate sub-score, and its award is pre-conditioned upon the funding of the parent grant
