The NIOSH Pilot Project Research Training Program (PPRTP) was established at the Michigan ERC in 1999. Since that time, we have funded a total of 31 pilot research projects, 21 were performed at The University of Michigan and 10 were performed at regional institutions. These projects have resulted in a total of 86 publications.
The ERC is fortunate to have many faculty members with strong research records that cover a broad spectrum of OH&S issues.
