Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention

[Announcement 647]

National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health; Centers for

Agricultural Disease and Injury

Research, Education, and Prevention

Introduction

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) announces the

availability of fiscal year (FY) 1996

funds for a cooperative agreement

program with universities or universityaffiliated medical centers for the

establishment of Centers for

Agricultural Disease and Injury

Research, Education, and Prevention.

CDC is committed to achieving the

health promotion and disease

prevention objectives of Healthy People

2000, a national activity to reduce

morbidity and mortality and improve

the quality of life. This announcement

is related to the priority area of

Occupational Safety and Health. (For

ordering a copy of Healthy People 2000,

see the Section WHERE TO OBTAIN

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.)

Authority

This program is authorized under Sections

20(a) and 22(e)(7) of the Occupational Safety

and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 669 (a) and

671(e)(7)).

Smoke-Free Workplace

CDC strongly encourages all grant

recipients to provide a smoke-free

workplace and to promote the nonuse of

all tobacco products, and Public Law

103–227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994,

prohibits smoking in certain facilities

that receive Federal funds in which

education, library, day care, health care,

and early childhood development

services are provided to children.

Eligible Applicants

Eligible applicants include State and

private universities and universityaffiliated, not-for-profit medical centers

within the United States (U.S.). The

restriction of eligible applicants is due

to the FY 1990 appropriations language

which initiated this program and states

that centers for agricultural

occupational safety and health will be

established at universities. Because of

programmatic and regional differences

throughout agriculture in the U.S., only

one center will be established in any

Department of Health and Human

Services (DHHS) region. (Those Regions

and their States are: Region I:

Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,

New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and

Vermont; Region II: New Jersey, New

York, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin

Islands; Region III: Delaware, District of

Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania,

Virginia, and West Virginia; Region IV:

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,

Mississippi, North Carolina, South

Carolina, and Tennessee; Region V:

Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota,

Ohio, and Wisconsin; Region VI:

Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico,

Oklahoma, and Texas; Region VII: Iowa,

Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska; Region

VIII: Colorado, Montana, North Dakota,

South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming;

Region IX: American Samoa, Arizona,

California, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, Trust

Territory, Wake Islands, and North

Mariana Island; and Region X: Alaska,

Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.)

Currently, there is a Center in DHHS

Region VI, which includes the States of

Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico,

Oklahoma, and Texas. Therefore, the

regional emphasis for this

announcement includes all DHHS

Regions, with the exception of Region

VI.

Availability of Funds

Approximately $4,300,000 will be

available in FY 1996 to fund up to seven

additional Agricultural Centers. It is

expected that the average award will be

approximately $500,000. It is expected

that the awards will begin on or about

September 30, 1996, and will be made

for 12-month budget periods within

project periods of 3 to 5 years. Funding

estimates may vary and are subject to

change.

Continuation awards within the

project period will be made on the basis

of satisfactory progress and the

availability of funds.

Grant applications should be focused

on the research priorities described in

the section ‘‘FUNDING PRIORITIES’’

that includes new research priorities

developed in a process which resulted

in defining a National Occupational

Research Agenda. Grant proposals in

these areas will compete for the

available funds as noted in the previous

paragraph, as well as for funds

announced through Requests for

Applications that are anticipated in FY

1996 and FY 1997.

Purpose

This cooperative agreement program

will significantly strengthen the

occupational and public health

infrastructure by building on past

Agricultural Center accomplishments

aimed at integrating resources for

occupational safety and health research

and public health prevention programs

at the State and local levels. It is

designed to address the research,

education, and intervention activities

that are unique to agriculture in the

Region. To achieve this objective, the

program will establish Centers for

agricultural disease and injury research,

education, and prevention. The program

objectives are as follows:

1. Develop and conduct research

related to the prevention of

occupational disease and injury of

agricultural workers and their families.

2. Develop and implement model

educational, outreach, and intervention

programs promoting health and safety

for agricultural workers and their

families.

3. Develop and evaluate control

technologies to prevent illness and

injuries among agricultural workers and

their families.

4. Develop and implement model

programs for the prevention of illness

and injury among agricultural workers

and their families.

5. Evaluate agricultural injury and

disease prevention and educational

materials and programs implemented by

the Center.

6. Provide consultation and/or

training to researchers, health and safety

professionals, graduate/professional

students, and agricultural extension

agents and others in a position to

improve the health and safety of

agricultural workers.

7. Develop linkages and

communication with other

governmental and non-governmental

bodies involved in agricultural health

and safety with special emphasis on

communications with other CDC/

NIOSH sponsored agricultural health

and safety programs.
