Extension of the World Trade Center Health Registry (U50): In 2002, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the New York City Health Department established the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Registry with the goal of monitoring the health of people directly exposed to the 9/11 WTC disaster. The purpose of this announcement is to solicit meritorious and scientifically rigorous research applications that address the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act mandate to extend the Registry developed and managed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This will ensure ongoing data collection for victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the WTC. The WTC Health Registry will continue to provide a central, unified database to assess long-term health and well-being effects among persons exposed to the 9/11 WTC disaster. The Registry identifies long-term physical and mental health effects of the 9/11 WTC disaster; disseminates findings and recommendations to enrollees and others exposed, the public, and the scientific community; shares information about 9/11 related resources and services; and informs healthcare policy and disaster response planning.
