Project Abstract The National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is pleased to apply for funding assistance under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13 Clinical Trial Not Allowed), FOA Number: PAR-19-306. NEHA proposes to continue the development and delivery of the pilot Body Art Facility Inspector Training, tailored to environmental health (EH) professionals responsible for inspecting body art establishments. Over a five-year period, NEHA will host workshops to evaluate and update the course content and delivery based on subject matter expert (SME) guidance and participant evaluations. NEHA will incorporate updates into training materials and deliver the course annually at its Annual Educational Conference (AEC). During the third year, NEHA will convert the awareness level course into a virtual, asynchronous training to expand access to the training and accommodate the varying needs of the EH workforce. NEHA will continue to deliver the course in-person at the AEC while pivoting the development process to an operations level training. Through the collaboration between NEHA, the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), and the Body Art Education Alliance (BAEA), the Body Art Training Development Workshops will build upon years of cooperative work to further develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the EH workforce.
