Proposed Project 

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses 

Among Emergency Medical Services 

(EMS) Workers: A NEISS–Work 

Telephone Interview Survey—New— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Studies have reported that EMS 

workers have higher rates of non-fatal 

injuries and illnesses as compared to the 

general worker population. As EMS 

professionals are tasked with protecting 

the health of the public and treating 

urgent medical needs, it follows that 

understanding and preventing injuries 

and illnesses among EMS workers will 

have a benefit reaching beyond the 

workers to the general public. 

As mandated in the Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub.L 

91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to 

conduct research and investigations on 

occupational safety and health. Related 

to this mission, the purpose of this 

project is to conduct research that will 

provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses 

incurred by EMS workers. The project 

will use two related data sources. The 

first source is data abstracted from 

medical records of EMS workers treated 

in a nationally stratified sample of 

emergency departments. These data are 

routinely collected by the occupational 

supplement to the National Electronic 

Injury Surveillance System (NEISS– 

Work). The second data source, for 

which NIOSH is seeking OMB approval, 

is responses to telephone interview 

surveys of the injured and ill EMS 

workers identified within NEISS–Work. 

The proposed telephone interview 

surveys will supplement NEISS–Work 

data with an extensive description of 

EMS worker injuries and illnesses, 

including worker characteristics, injury 

types, injury circumstances, injury 

outcomes, and use of personal 

protective equipment. Previous reports 

describing occupational injuries and 

illnesses to EMS workers provide 

limited details on specific regions or 

sub-segments of the population. As 

compared to these earlier studies, the 

scope of the telephone interview data 

will be broader as it includes sampled 

cases nationwide and has no limitations 

in regards to type of employment (i.e., 

volunteer versus career). Results from 

the telephone interviews will be 

weighted and reported as national 

estimates. 

The sample size for the telephone 

interview survey is estimated to be 

approximately 175 EMS workers 

annually for the proposed four year 

duration of the study. This estimate is 

based on the number of EMS workers 

identified in previous years of NEISS– 

Work data and a 50% response rate that 

is comparable to the rate of previously 

conducted National Electronic Injury 

Surveillance System telephone 

interview studies. Each telephone 

interview will take approximately 20 

minutes to complete, resulting in an 

annualized burden estimate of 58 hours. 

This project is a collaborative effort 

between the Division of Safety Research 

in the NIOSH and the Office of 

Emergency Medical Services in the 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration. Both agencies have a 

strong interest in improving 

surveillance of EMS worker injuries and 

illnesses to provide the information 

necessary for effectively targeting and 

implementing prevention efforts and, 

consequently, reducing occupational 

injuries and illnesses among EMS 

workers. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 58.

Health Resources and Services 

Administration 

Notice of Non-Competitive Award of 

Funding to the Communities 

Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief 

(CAEAR) Coalition Foundation, Inc 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Non-Competitive 

Award of Funding to the Communities 

Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief 

(CAEAR) Coalition Foundation, Inc. 

SUMMARY: This Federal Register Notice 

announces the non-competitive 

extension of Grant Number 

U69HA07626, Supporting Networks of 

HIV Care by Enhancing Primary Medical 

Care (SNHC by EPMC), to the CAEAR 

Coalition Foundation, Inc., the awardee 

of record, for one additional year, 

through August 31, 2010, at a funding 

level of approximately $1,451,445. The 

purpose of the award extension is to 

allow for the completion of ongoing 

work and an external evaluation 

assessment of the project’s activities 

undertaken during the project period of 

September 1, 2006, through August 31, 

2009, before a new competitive cycle is 

started. Evaluation findings will help 

HRSA frame a new competitive 

opportunity in fiscal year (FY) 2010. 

The authority for this funding is the 

Public Health Service Act, section 2692, 

42 U.S.C. § 300ff–111, as amended by 

the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment 

Modernization Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109– 

415); it can be viewed under the Catalog 

for Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 

Number 93.145. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HRSA’s 

HIV/AIDS Bureau’s (HAB), Division of 

Training and Technical Assistance 

(DTTA), awarded the current awardee 

non-competitive funding for FY 2009 for 

a fourth and final project year 

September 1, 2009, through August 31, 

2010, in the amount of $1,451,445, 

which represents $2,085,822 less than 

awarded in fiscal year FY 2008 for year 

three activities. 

The SNHC by EPMC is solely funded 

by the Secretary of Health and Human 

Services’ Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) 

and utilizes innovative strategies and 

activities specifically targeted to the 

highest risk and hardest-to-serve 

minority populations and communities 

of color. The SNHC by EPMC is a 

national technical assistance (TA) and 

capacity building project with the goal 

to ensure providers’ ability to serve 

ethnic/racial minority communities; 

enable providers to adapt to an 

environment of few resources, rising 

costs, and growing HIV/AIDS 

prevalence; integrate new providers into 

systems of HIV care; and identify and 

deliver best practices and clinical 

guidelines to ultimately improve the 

lives of those impacted by HIV/AIDS. 

Owing to unanticipated changes and 

delays in initiating the originally 

proposed projected activities and the 

evaluation of the program, additional 

time and resources are necessary to 

conclude the proposed activities and the 

external evaluation of the project’s 

activities. This evaluation and 

assessment, to be completed between 

September 1, 2009, and November 30, 

2009, are critical to HRSA in developing 

a new competitive opportunity in fiscal 

year (FY) 2010 that more specifically 

targets the needs of primary care 

organizations that treat individuals with 

HIV/AIDS, and provides more refined 

approaches to the conduct of technical 

assistance and training that supports 

and sustains such organizations. 

By non-competitively awarding funds 

to the current grantee, CAEAR Coalition 

Foundation, Inc., in the fourth year, the 

external evaluation will be able to take 

into account the complete collection of 

case studies and provide a metaanalysis, thereby furthering the 

Agency’s understanding of capacity 

needs of HIV service providers and 

allowing for better targeted future 

funding decisions. Given the 

importance and visibility of this 

departmental initiative, it is critical that 

this project be assessed and evolve in a 

manner that addresses the ever changing 

HIV epidemic and its impact on 

marginalized populations and the safety 

net providers that serve them.
