Professor Scott Glick Co-PI on NIOSH Grant
In early 2009, a multidisciplinary research team submitted a grant proposal to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to look at safety in the workplace. The team is headed by Dr. Peter Chen in Psychology and will look at ways to identify the leadership skills vital to safety in construction. The team will then develop, pilot, and finalize a safety leadership program, and actively disseminate the program through planned channels. Other team members are Dr. John Rosecrance in Economics, Dr. Alyssa Gibbons in Psychology and Dr. Scott Glick in Construction Management, all Co-PIs. Other collaborators are Dr. Konstantin Cigularov at Illinois Institute of Technology, Dr. Stefanie Johnson at UC Denver, and Jim Dearing at Kaiser Permanente of Denver. The $750,000 grant was awarded this month for a period of five years.
