Visiting Partners Program Deadline Is July 15
The Visiting Partners Program (VPP) is a new endeavor under the auspices of the University of Michigan's long-standing occupational and environmental health training grant funded through NIOSH. The program offers a novel opportunity for professionals to collaborate with UM faculty on projects addressing occupational and environmental health and safety issues relevant to their work. It is a part-time, nonresidential, nondegree program that offers a modest honorarium. In addition, participants are appointed as visiting scholars with full access to UM resources. According to UM, the program is designed to enhance the participants' continued professional employment while they acquire new information and skills. Learn more about this opportunity here.
