Description:
NIOSH invites applications for cooperative agreements from state agencies to
establish, maintain or expand state occupational health surveillance
capacity. This program is intended to provide state agencies the resources
to collect data from existing systems that capture information on
occupational safety and health hazards and effects on workers, to identify
new sources of occupational safety and health data, to perform occupational
health and safety surveillance and to develop interventions for reducing
worker injuries and illnesses in the state. The purpose of this announcement
is two-fold. The first is to provide states an opportunity to conduct a
Fundamental Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program in their
state. The second purpose is to provide states with an established
Fundamental Program the opportunity to expand the Fundamental Program to
address one or more additional priority health conditions in the state
(Expanded Program). Because of the need for a national scope of surveillance
on occupational safety and health concerns, the collaboration of NIOSH and
the states through a consortium is needed if the objectives of the program
are to be achieved. Thus, a Consortium of Occupational State-based
Surveillance (COSS) will be created to guide efforts to improve worker safety
and health through assessments of conditions and translation of results into
the workplace.
This program announcement is intended to continue initiatives and programs
developed under one or more of the following announcements: Development of
Core State-Based Surveillance Model Programs (OH-00-007), Development of New
or Enhanced Models for State-Based Occupational Surveillance (OH-00-008),
Program for the Initiation and Development of State-Based Surveillance
Capacity in Occupational Safety and Health (OH-02-007).
