NIOSH continued its long-standing support of global occupational health research and training by cosponsoring 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. Education and Research Centers had the most articles (215) published, followed by investigator-initiated R01 research (158). In FY2016, NIOSH extramural researchers most often published articles in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
