State-Based Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance: NIOSH invites applications for cooperative agreements from state agencies to establish, maintain or expand state occupational health surveillance capacity. This program is intended to provide state agencies the resources to collect data from existing systems that capture information on occupational safety and health hazards and effects on workers, to identify new sources of occupational safety and health data, to perform occupational health and safety surveillance and to develop interventions for reducing worker injuries and illnesses in the state. The purpose of this announcement is two-fold. The first is to provide states an opportunity to conduct a Fundamental Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program in their state. The second purpose is to provide states with an established Fundamental Program the opportunity to expand the Fundamental Program to address one or more additional priority health conditions in the state (Expanded Program). Because of the need for a national scope of surveillance on occupational safety and health concerns, the collaboration of NIOSH and the states through a consortium is needed if the objectives of the program are to be achieved. Thus, a Consortium of Occupational State-based Surveillance (COSS) will be created to guide efforts to improve worker safety and health through assessments of conditions and translation of results into the workplace. This program announcement is intended to continue initiatives and programs developed under one or more of the following announcements: Development of Core State-Based Surveillance Model Programs (OH-00-007), Development of New or Enhanced Models for State-Based Occupational Surveillance (OH-00-008), Program for the Initiation and Development of State-Based Surveillance Capacity in Occupational Safety and Health (OH-02-007).
