 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the past decade, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) has worked in collaboration with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) towards the goal of increasing state- based occupational health surveillance capacity. A long-term goal of the CSTE Occupational Health Subcommittee is to build, in collaboration with NIOSH, minimum capacity for the surveillance of work-related injuries and illnesses at the state level. The Western States Occupational Network (WestON) meeting convenes state-based occupational health epidemiologists and scientists from 19 western states, NIOSH and OSHA federal partners, and the NIOSH-funded Education and Research Centers (ERCs) and Agricultural Research Centers located in the western states. The overall goal of this meeting is to strengthen state-based occupational epidemiology in the Western region through capacity building and scientific collaboration, including the ongoing surveillance of work-related injuries and diseases, investigation of cases and outbreaks, and dissemination of information for public health prevention. The WestON meeting aligns with several NIOSH NORA Sector and Cross-Sector Program goals, including Agricultural, Forestry and Fishing (AFF); Mining; Oil and Gas Extraction; Health Hazard Evaluation; and Surveillance. The goals within these Sectors are designed to guide research and research-to-practice through 2016, and are achieved through strong involvement of partners and stakeholders throughout the entire research continuum (conceiving, planning, conducting, translating, disseminating and evaluating research). The WestON meeting has presented topics for discussion and analysis and provided opportunities for collaborations among State-based epidemiologists, academic partners from the ERC/Agricultural Centers, and NIOSH scientists. At its core, the overarching goal of the WestON meeting is to engage a crucial set of NIOSH stakeholders (State occupational health programs) towards the NORA goal of translating and disseminating research findings. As such, CSTE seeks five-year funding to continue the WestON meeting from 2016 through 2020. WestON meetings will continue to be co- sponsored by the Mountain and Plains Education and Research Center (MAP ERC) and the NIOSH Western States Division. CSTE is requesting travel funding for participants who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the WestON meeting due to lack of funding within their state. The WestON meeting provides a unique opportunity for this group of professionals to meet and address common workplace safety and health issues and to further develop collaborations and partnerships to enhance state-based epidemiology, surveillance and prevention of work-related injuries and illnesses.

 描述(由申请人提供)：在过去十年中，州和地区流行病学家委员会(CSTE)与国家职业安全与健康研究所(NIOSH)合作，致力于提高以州为基础的职业健康监测能力的目标。CSTE职业健康小组委员会的一个长期目标是与NIOSH合作，在州一级建立监测工伤和疾病的最低能力。西部各州职业网络(Weston)会议召集了来自西部19个州的州职业健康流行病学家和科学家、NIOSH和OSHA联邦合作伙伴，以及位于西部各州的NIOSH资助的教育和研究中心(ERCs)和农业研究中心。本次会议的总体目标是通过能力建设和科学合作加强西部地区以国家为基础的职业流行病学，包括持续监测工伤和疾病、调查病例和疫情以及传播预防公共卫生的信息。韦斯顿会议与NIOSH Nora部门和跨部门计划的几个目标保持一致，包括农业、林业和渔业(AFF)、采矿、石油和天然气开采、健康危害评估和监测。这些部门内的目标旨在指导研究和研究转化为实践，并通过合作伙伴和利益攸关方在整个研究过程(构思、规划、开展、翻译、传播和评估研究)中的大力参与来实现。韦斯顿会议提出了讨论和分析的主题，并为国家流行病学家、ERC/农业中心的学术合作伙伴和NIOSH科学家之间的合作提供了机会。就其核心而言，韦斯顿会议的首要目标是让NIOSH的一组关键利益攸关方(国家职业健康计划)朝着翻译和传播研究成果的NORA目标迈进。因此，CSTE寻求为期五年的资金，以将韦斯顿会议从2016年持续到2020年。韦斯顿会议将继续由山区和平原教育和研究中心(MAP ERC)和NIOSH西部各州分部共同主办。CSTE正在为与会者申请旅费，因为他们所在的州缺乏资金，否则他们将没有机会参加韦斯顿会议。韦斯顿会议为这群专业人士提供了一个独特的机会，让他们能够会面并解决共同的工作场所安全和健康问题，并进一步发展合作和伙伴关系，以加强以州为基础的流行病学、监测和预防工伤和疾病。
