• Diagnosing WTC-related health 

conditions for which there have been 

diagnostic uncertainty; and 

• Treating WTC-related health 

conditions for which there have been 

treatment uncertainty. 

Request for Information 

The WTC Health Program conducts 

research among members receiving 

monitoring or treatment in the Program 

and in sampled populations outside the 

New York City disaster area in 

Manhattan as far north as 14th Street 

and in Brooklyn. WTC survivors include 

individuals who lived, worked, went to 

school, or attended child or adult day 

care in the NYC Disaster Area on 

September 11, 2001, or in the following 

days, weeks, or months and those 

otherwise meeting the eligibility criteria 

in 42 CFR 88.8. NIOSH is soliciting 

public comments from any interested 

party regarding research priorities for 

WTC Health Program FY2022 research 

projects on WTC survivors (adults and 

children) and similar survivor 

populations south of 14th street in 

Manhattan and in Brooklyn. 

Specifically, NIOSH seeks input on the 

following questions: 

(1) What are the most important 

research gaps that need to be addressed 

within the scope of the research 

solicitation? (For NIOSH-funded 

research projects related to the 

September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and 

areas of interest based on the Program’s 

Research Agenda, please visit the WTC 

Health Program Research Gateway.) 

(2) What are the most important areas 

of diagnostic and treatment uncertainty 

that could most benefit from 

intervention research (information that 

bridges the gap between science and 

practice, care, or treatment by 

addressing the barriers, challenges, and 

needs to advance implementation of 

new or improved treatment, care, or 

practices)? 

(3) What are the primary research 

needs of WTC survivors (adults and/or 

children) and similar survivor 

populations south of 14th street in 

Manhattan and in Brooklyn?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: This information 

collection is to provide nationally 

descriptive, longitudinal data on 

partnerships between Early Head Start 

programs and child care providers to 

inform program planning, technical 

assistance, and research. The proposed 

data collection is a follow-up study of 

the 2015 (National Descriptive Study 

(NDS) of Early Head Start–Child Care 

Partnerships (OMB 0970–0471) that 

obtained information about the EHS

who participated in the NDS to 

understand whether and how 

partnerships have been sustained or 

have dissolved, and which features of 

partnerships support or impede 

sustainability. Data collection activities 

will include surveys of directors of 2015 

EHS–CCP grantees and of child care 

provider directors/managers who were 

selected for participation in the NDS, as 

well as semi-structured interviews with 

a purposive sample of providers whose 

partnerships have dissolved and have 

been sustained since 2016. 

Respondents: Early Head Start 

program directors and child care 

providers.
