NATL CTR FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY & HEALTH RESEARCH

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请建立在我们自1990年以来管理建筑中心的经验之上。作为国家研究所的一个组成部分， 职业安全与健康（NIOSH）建设研究计划，我们的目标是继续减少伤害和疾病在建筑行业：1）建立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，建筑行业理事会目标和国家科学院审查：3）更加注重从研究到实践（r2 p）; 4）做好准备，迅速应对新出现的问题和趋势; 5）以新的和更创新的方式传播我们的研究结果; 6）跟踪行业的变化，评估安全和健康结果的变化。此Construction Center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，并有连接建筑中心调查与建筑行业利益相关者的主要责任。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/R2 P研究，新兴问题研究以及行业数据和统计的支持服务。我们在应用研究计划中提出了6个研究项目，3个准备影响和3个探索性;在转化r2 p研究计划中的6个研究项目，3个准备影响和3个探索性;在新兴问题研究计划中的1个项目，重点是纳米材料;和1个数据跟踪和支持服务项目。应用研究计划和翻译//R2 P计划中的所有准备影响项目都是由CPWR调查人员提出的，这适当反映了国家科学院的建议，即建设中心专注于获得行业采用的最佳实践。通过广泛的招标，这两类探索性项目将由联合体伙伴执行。

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.
