NATL CTR FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY & HEALTH RESEARCH

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请基于我们自1990年以来管理建设中心的经验。作为国家科学技术研究所的一个组成部分 通过职业安全与健康(NIOSH)建筑研究计划，我们的目标是通过以下方式继续减少建筑行业的伤害和疾病：1)在我们现有的知识基础上，加强和加快识别和采用循证最佳实践；2)响应NOR、建筑业委员会的目标和国家科学院审查：3)更多地关注研究实践(R2P)；4)做好准备以快速应对新出现的问题和趋势；5)以新的、更具创新性的方式传播我们的研究结果；以及：6)跟踪行业的变化，并评估安全和健康结果的变化。该建筑中心应用程序由一个管理核心组成，包括所有规划、协调和管理功能。它还设有小型研究计划，并负有将建筑中心调查人员与建筑业利益相关者联系起来的主要责任。在建设中心内，我们提出了四个运营研究计划领域：应用研究、翻译/R2P研究、新兴问题研究以及行业数据和统计支持服务。我们提出了应用研究计划内的6个研究项目，3个准备影响和3个探索性项目；翻译R2P研究计划内的6个研究项目，3个准备影响和3个探索性项目；新兴问题研究计划内的1个专注于纳米材料的项目；以及1个数据跟踪和支持服务项目。应用研究计划和翻译//R2P计划中的所有准备好影响的项目都是由CPWR调查人员提出的，这恰如其分地反映了美国国家科学院关于建设中心专注于让行业采用最佳实践的建议。通过广泛征集，两个类别的探索性项目将由财团合作伙伴进行。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application builds on our experience administering the Construction Center since 1990. As an integral part of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) construction Research Program, our objective is to continue to reduce the injuries and illnesses in the construction industry by: 1) building on our current base of knowledge and intensifying and accelerating the identification and adoption of evidence-based best practices; 2) responding to the NOR, Construction Sector Council goals and National Academy review: 3) focusing more on research to practice (r2p); 4) being prepared to respond rapidly to emerging issues and trends; 5) disseminating our findings in new and more innovative ways and: 6) tracking changes in the industry and evaluating changes in safety and health outcomes. This Construction Center application is comprised of an Administrative Core, including all planning, coordination, and administrative functions. It also houses the Small Studies Program, and has the primary responsibility of linking Construction Center investigators with construction industry stakeholders. Within the Construction Center we are proposing four operating research program areas: Applied Research, Translation/R2P Research, Emerging Issues Research, and Support Services for Industry Data and Statistics. We are proposing 6 research projects within the Applied Research Program, 3 ready for impact and 3 exploratory; 6 research projects within the Translational r2p Research Program, 3 ready for impact and 3 exploratory; 1 project within the Emerging Issues Research Program focusing on nanomaterials; and 1 Data Tracking and Support Services project. All of the ready for impact projects in both the Applied Research Program and the Translation//R2P Program are proposed by CPWR investigators, which is an appropriate reflection of the National Academies' recommendation that the Construction Center focus on getting best practices adopted by the industry. Through a broad solicitation, the exploratory projects in both categories will be carried-out by consortium partners.
