Developed by MDB, Inc. Scoping of Emerging Training Needs for During the coming fiscal year, NIEHS will be conducting a re-competition of its entire Worker Education & Training Program for another competitive segment to make new five year cooperative agreement awards. As a part of this process, NIEHS will be examining the emerging training needs for hazardous waste and chemical emergency responders in a wide variety of industry sectors, workplaces, state and local government response agencies and the various components of the environmental remediation process. NIEHS

Developed by MDB, Inc. Scoping of Emerging Training Needs for Since September 11, 2001, requests for training curricula, hands-on classes, technical information and crisis intervention have presented serious new challenges for the program's response capacity. NIEHS will continue to explore partnerships new agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as well as strengthen its existing long-term relationships with EPA, OSHA, and ATSDR and NIOSH in CDC. Input through ESF #10 during the RFA scoping process would help to identify training needs and interagency opportunities for cooperation and partnership. NIEHS
