A variety of sites, such as those involved with chemical waste clean up and remedial action and transportation-related chemical emergency response may pose severe health and safety concerns to workers and the surrounding communities. These sites contain a multiplicity of hazardous substances, sometimes unknown substances, and often the site is uncontrolled. A major goal of the Worker Education and Training Program (WETP) is to provide assistance to organizations in developing their institutional competency to provide appropriate model training and education programs. The Applicant Information Meeting is Wednesday, September 2, 2009 at NIEHS where more information about this FOA and the WETP will be shared. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the (U45) Cooperative Agreement Mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards.
