Grant 5D43TW007257-04 from Fogarty International Center
Abstract: In 2004, an epidemiologic study of 200,000 farm families yielded an annual estimate of 592,000 injury deaths and 3,490,000 permanent disabled individuals in rural areas of China. Although agricultural injury has been recognized as a major public health problem in China, research efforts in injury control and prevention are still at an early stage of development. Injury control and prevention has only recently been included in curriculum at a few universities, with even fewer focusing on agricultural injuries. Many Chinese scientists who have been working in injury research or would like to enter this field were trained in disciplines without a focus on injury research, therefore, lack formal training in the unique aspects of trauma and injury research. Therefore, the long term goal of the USA-China Agricultural Injury Research Training Project is to increase training and research related to agricultural injuries in China in order to develop an infrastructure for future sustainable agricultural injury research. The specific aims of this program are 1) to provide training to Chinese scholars on issues critical for reducing agricultural injuries; 2) to expand collaborative research activities between the Colorado Injury Control Research Center, the Center for Injury Research and Policy at The Ohio State University, the Tongji Injury Control Research Center and other researchers in China; 3) to provide training and continue development of human subjects research ethics. The project will be conducted by a team of established U.S. injury researchers from three universities and Chinese researchers at Tongji Medical University using a mixture of training mechanisms designed for scientists who represent diverse disciplines, including 14-Day training seminars in China, web-based training, and onsite training at U.S. research institutions. The collaboration takes advantage of the expertise of the U.S. investigators in agricultural injury research and the expertise of the Chinese investigators in research and training in a developing country

Grant 1R13OH009408-01 from National Institute For Occupational Safety And Health IRG: ZOH1
Abstract: The purpose of this application is to request conference support for the 20th Annual International Conference on Epidemiology in Occupational Health (June 9-11, 2008) and the 10th International Symposium on Neurobehavioral Methods and Effects in Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology (June 11-13, 2008) to be held in San Jose, Costa Rica. The theme of the joint conferences is "Multiple Exposures, Multiple Effects". The name for the jointly held conferences is "EPICOH-NEUREOH 2008." The specific aims of the joint conferences are 1) to promote the exchange of experience and knowledge among the conference participants; 2) to disseminate new knowledge regarding methodologies and investigations; 3) to emphasize the need to address multiple exposures and multiple effects in environmental and occupational health; 4) to motivate conference participants to initiate research and projects using integrated multidisciplinary methodologies; 5) to promote the participation of investigators and students from developing countries; 6) to engage researchers in policy making and community or enterprise level interventions; 7) to train investigators from different countries and specialties in the areas of occupational health, environmental health, epidemiology, and neurotoxicology. The conference addresses a number of research priorities for NIOSH including the development of new methods, work injuries, cancer, musculoskeletal diseases, reproductive disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurotoxic effects of work exposures, neurobehavioral changes, risk assessment, and special populations. In addition, because of the nature of the conferences, all NORA sectors will be addressed. The conference also addresses priorities identified in Healthy People 2010 including reduction of work related injuries and deaths and exposure to hazardous chemicals including pesticides

Abstract: The purpose of the Colorado Injury Control Research Center (CICRC) is to participate with communities to reduce injuries, primarily in Public Health Service (PHS) Region VIII. Core values that govern the activities at the CICRC are a primary focus on reducing disparities in the prevention and control of injuries; seeking collaborative relationships with communities; innovation in education/training, community programs and research; and identification of evidence-based, efficient approaches to prevent of injuries. The CICRC is located in PHS Region VIII. PHS Region VIII includes Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Utah and North Dakota. In the region, 23.2% of the population is rural non-farm, and 2.3% are rural farm residents. The population density of each state in the region is significantly lower than the US as a whole; these population densities have important implications for the development of appropriate injury prevention and control strategies in the region. Death rates from all injuries are higher than US rates in all the states except North Dakota; unintentional injury death rates are higher than US rates in all states except Utah; motor vehicle occupant death rates are higher than US rates in all states except Colorado and Utah; and suicide death rates are higher than US rates in all states in the region. The specific aims of the CICRC are to 1) maintain an organizational structure to ensure effective coordination of the CICRC; 2) promote training and education related to injuries and control of injuries; 3) expand existing community based activities in injury control and prevention; 4) utilize existing data to identify injury patterns; 5) increase and diversify funding sources for injury research, community-based programs, education and training; 6) disseminate information about injury prevention and control; 7) conduct ongoing of the CICRC program; 8) promote the development of new investigators in injury prevention and control research; and 9) conduct high quality, innovative research in acute care, prevention/control, and rehabilitation of injuries. The purpose of the center is to reduce the occurrence, severity, and adverse consequences of injuries through research, education, and service. Emphasis is placed on reducing disparities in injury outcomes through focusing on community partnerships among underserved populations, such as Native Americans, Hispanics and rural residents
