 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）：在过去的十年中，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，以实现提高州职业健康监测能力的目标。 CSTE 职业健康小组委员会的长期目标是与 NIOSH 合作，建立州一级监测工伤和疾病的最低能力。西部各州职业网络 (WestON) 会议汇集了来自西部 19 个州、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 (ERC) 和农业研究中心的职业健康流行病学家和科学家。这次会议的总体目标是通过能力建设和科学合作，加强西部地区的国家职业流行病学，包括持续监测工伤和疾病、调查病例和疫情以及传播公共卫生预防信息。 WestON 会议符合多个 NIOSH NORA 部门和跨部门计划目标，包括农业、林业和渔业 (AFF)；矿业;石油和天然气开采；健康危害评估；和监视。这些部门的目标旨在指导 2016 年的研究和研究实践，并通过合作伙伴和利益相关者在整个研究过程（构思、规划、实施、翻译、传播和评估研究）的大力参与来实现。 WestON 会议提出了讨论和分析的主题，并为各州流行病学家、ERC/农业中心的学术伙伴和 NIOSH 科学家之间的合作提供了机会。 WestON 会议的首要目标是让一组重要的 NIOSH 利益相关者（国家职业健康计划）参与其中，以实现 NORA 翻译和传播研究成果的目标。因此，CSTE 寻求五年资助，以便从 2016 年到 2020 年继续召开 WestON 会议。WestON 会议将继续由山区和平原教育与研究中心 (MAP ERC) 和 NIOSH 西部各州分部共同主办。 CSTE 正在为因州内缺乏资金而没有机会参加 WestON 会议的参与者申请差旅费。 WestON 会议为这群专业人士提供了一个独特的机会，以满足和解决常见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，以加强基于州的流行病学、工伤和疾病的监测和预防。
