• Description:
  The short term outcomes refer to our graduates, research productivity, interdisciplinary outcomes, assistance to local organizations and industry partners, increased awareness of OHS locally. The medium term outcomes refer to the intended impact the DSC will have through its research and training on applying better methods for developing OHS standards and procedures, on translating research to practice, on changing personal and organizational behavior to prioritize OHS, and on increasing the number of women and minority OHS professionals. The long term outcomes represent our ultimate goals of reducing work related fatalities, injuries and illnesses, improve worker safety and well-being and promoting a sustainable growth of the regional and national economy incorporating OHS findings. We also propose a feedback loop in which periodically we check the outputs of the DSC and report to the constituencies of the input of our Logic model. The goals for the Center are broader and more general, while each program has specific goals with defined objectives. Outcome evaluation will measure the extent to which the DSC has made progress toward the following goals: 1. Maintain excellence in interdisciplinary education, research and outreach to develop well rounded OSH professionals who protect and promote the health, safety, and wellbeing of workers. 2. Strive to be the main OSH training resource for regional businesses and organizations in the region. 3. Collaborate with other academic institutions, ERCs and TPGs to develop best methods to protect and promote health and safety of workers. 4. Produce high quality fundamental and applied research and translate research to practice to develop the best methods to protect the health and safety of workers. [Description provided by NIOSH]
