NIOSH continued its long-standing support of global occupational health research and training by co-sponsoring the NIH Fogarty International Center Global Environmental and Occupational Health Hubs. This program supports institutions in low- and middle-income countries that serve as regional hubs for collaborative research and training in responding to high-priority environmental and occupational health threats. In FY2016, NIOSH extramural researchers wrote 582 peer-reviewed articles in 287 journals, an increase of 110 articles over FY2015.
