NIEHS is leading a National Institutes of Health (NIH) long term study looking at the potential health effects of the oil spill in various responder populations. During FY 2014, the GuLF STUDY (Gulf Long-term Follow-Up Study) completed its baseline recruitment efforts. In total, the GuLF STUDY has completed 32,608 telephone interviews and 11,193 in-person visits where biospecimens are collected. Biospecimens are banked in a long-term storage facility using liquid nitrogen where appropriate. NIEHS investigators are actively conducting the follow-up interviews for the GuLF STUDY. Additionally, NIEHS investigators are working on designing and implementing the clinical visit for the Biomedical Surveillance Sub-cohort of the GuLF STUDY. Data collection is expected to begin in the fall of 2014. In the meantime, NIEHS investigators are working to evaluate all of the available environmental and occupational exposure monitoring data in order to more completely characterize exposures in the study population. Ongoing statistical modeling will lead to the development of cleanup-task specific exposure matrices that will allow assignment of exposure estimates for volatile compounds and other exposures related to oil spill cleanup. Approaches and preliminary results from exposure characterization efforts were presented at national and international meetings. Cleaning and analysis of the baseline data has begun and we will be reporting findings at scientific meetings and writing up the results for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

NIEHS正在领导一项美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的长期研究，研究石油泄漏对不同响应人群的潜在健康影响。在2014财年，海湾研究（海湾长期随访研究）完成了基线招募工作。海湾研究总共完成了32,608次电话访谈和11193次亲自访问，收集了生物标本。生物标本在适当的地方使用液氮储存在长期储存设施中。
