Below is a list of internal and external program reviews conducted on the NIOSH Dose Reconstruction Program. Program reviews help assess how well a program meets its objective, mission, and goals.
NIOSH Dose Reconstruction Program Ten Year Review
2010 marked the tenth anniversary of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (the Act/EEOICPA) of 2000. As of December 31, 2010, NIOSH completed 27,832 individual dose reconstructions and received 182 Special Exposure Cohort petitions. NIOSH conducted a ten-year retrospective review of these efforts.
The ten-year review reflects our commitment to:
Use rigorous, high-quality science in its programs,
Apply and work to advance the latest scientific methodologies and practices,
Address the needs and concerns of stakeholders, and
Evaluate NIOSH’s on-going programs to ensure that they remain effective, relevant, and responsive.More information on the review can be found on the Ten Year Review of the Scientific and Administrative Issues Pertaining to NIOSH Program Responsibilities under EEOICPA page of our website and NIOSH Docket 194.
Office of the Ombudsman Annual Report
The Office of the Ombudsman was created by Congress in October 2004 to provide information and to address the concerns of claimants and potential claimants relating to the benefits available under the Act. The Office of the Ombudsman also submits an Annual Report to Congress. The first Annual Report issued in 2005 documented the number and types of complaints, grievances, and requests for assistance received by the Department of Labor (DOL) under Part E of the Act. The report assessed the most common difficulties encountered by claimants and potential claimants. It also raised several issues and comments related to NIOSH’s activities under Part B. NIOSH provided comments and clarification on Part B issues raised in the report.
