Abstract The American Industrial Hygiene Association Emerging Economies Microgrants Program was created in 2018 as a means to provide a fair, structured, transparent, and consistent mechanism for funding education and research projects that promote occupational hygiene in economically developing nations. The vision of the AG is to expand occupational hygiene awareness and capacity globally to reduce the risk of injury, illness, and fatality to workers in nations with the fewest resources. Over the past six years AIHA and corporate sponsors such as Amazon have funded nearly 200, 000 USD for training, development, and research projects. This session will provide attendees with an introduction to the program and describe the microgrant proposal submission process and selection criteria. The session will present some of the remarkable projects that have been awarded and completed around the world over the past several years. Answers to frequently asked questions will be provided in addition to questions provided by the audience.
