DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health (PNASH) Center, established in 1996, is part of a vital national infrastructure dedicated to the prevention of illness and injury among agricultural producers, workers, and their families. We work to achieve this goal through partnerships with key stakeholders in the Northwest region (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington). We also work collaboratively with other regional centers to formulate national programs and policies in agricultural health and safety. Our Center is housed institutionally within the University of Washington's School of Public Health, the only such school in the four state region that we serve. Since the Center's inception, we have worked to engage the three major agricultural sectors in the Northwest: farming, forestry, and fishing. Our Center reflects a cross-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and geographically diverse set of initiatives. Our efforts focus primarily on populations not well represented in current research, including hired laborers, migrant/seasonal workers, women, and children. The primary goals of the PNASH Center are to:  Conduct high quality research through cohesive, coordinated and synergist activities;  Translate scientific discoveries into practical applications;  Exert a sustained and transformative influence on agricultural health and safety in our. region;  Translate and transfer our findings using accessible and appropriate methods to the farming, fishing and forestry agricultural sectors in the Pacific Northwest;  Provide opportunities for professional learning and development, including undergraduate and graduate students experiential learning, continuing education, investigator mentoring and academic exchange;  Engage our stakeholders in Center activities through active partnerships and collaborations.

描述(由申请人提供)：太平洋西北农业安全与健康中心成立于1996年，是致力于在农业生产者、工人及其家人中预防疾病和伤害的重要国家基础设施的一部分。我们努力通过与西北地区(阿拉斯加、爱达荷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州)的关键利益攸关方建立伙伴关系来实现这一目标。我们还与其他地区中心合作，制定农业健康和安全方面的国家计划和政策。我们的中心位于华盛顿大学公共卫生学院内，这是我们服务的四个州地区唯一的一所这样的学校。自该中心成立以来，我们一直致力于让西北地区的三大农业部门参与进来：农业、林业和渔业。我们的中心反映了一套跨学科、多机构和不同地理位置的倡议。我们的努力主要集中在当前研究中没有得到很好代表的人群，包括受雇劳工、移民/季节性工人、妇女和儿童。PNASH中心的主要目标是：通过连贯、协调和协同的活动开展高质量的研究；将科学发现转化为实际应用；对我们的农业健康和安全产生持续和变革性的影响。我们将继续在太平洋西北地区开展研究；利用可获得和适当的方法将我们的调查结果翻译并转移到太平洋西北地区的农业、渔业和林业部门；为专业学习和发展提供机会，包括本科生和研究生的体验式学习、继续教育、研究员指导和学术交流；通过积极的伙伴关系和合作，让我们的利益攸关方参与中心的活动。
