CDC Public Health Research: Health Protection Research Initiative, Investigator Initiated Research: The purpose of the program is to support innovative public health researcher that addresses priority health protection issues. Health protection should be interpreted to include activities that: 1) promote health and/or prevent disease, injury, or disability, or 2) protect people from health threats including infectious, environmental, and terrorist threats. This RFA focuses specifically on health promotion in the workplace. There are many strategies that could be used to address this RFA, but this first RFA will give priority to those applications that emphasize the design and evaluation of interventions and identification of determinants affecting the successful implementation of evidence-based cost-effective health promotion interventions in the workplace or that have impact on the workplace. Hence, the application should address at least one of the following issues: 1. Identification of cost-effective interventions that improve the health of employees as measured by: a. Mortality, morbidity, and disability. b. Quality of life (e.g., satisfaction with daily functioning, energy level, attentiveness). c. Productivity (e.g., increase in on-the-job-productivity, decrease of absenteeism). d. Employer and/or employee health-related costs. 2. Identification of the determinants of successful implementation and dissemination of evidence-based health promotion, interventions among individual employees, or groups of employees, or employers. 3. Identification of the determinants of successful translation of evidence-based health promotion interventions to special employee populations to reduce health disparities. 4. Evaluation of the impact of employee health policy alternatives on the health of individuals or groups of employees and their families. 5. Determinants of the economic drivers of health and health decisions for employers and employees. 6. Identification and evaluation of public health informatics and communication strategies and tools to improve health decisions, health alerting, health literacy, or health assessment among employees and employers. 7. Identification of strategies to improve the workforce?s protection from urgent non-occupational infectious, environmental, or terrorist threats
