National Children's Center

 描述（由申请人提供）：我们中心的总体目标是加强公私伙伴关系，以解决儿童农业伤害预防。我们是：a）与主要合作伙伴一起指导国家儿童农业伤害预防战略; B）开展研究并促进具有实际意义的干预措施; c）建设可持续战略的能力; d）向非专业受众广泛传播信息。芭芭拉·李博士将继续担任主任，芭芭拉·玛丽亚博士将担任副主任。许多拟议的项目利用了我们经过时间考验的资源以及培育和扩大的伙伴关系。所有项目都按照具体活动直接相互关联，和/或通过评价和交流战略间接相互关联。我们有凝聚力的管理和创新的战略有可能在影响积极变化方面取得显著进展。外展教育核心，由马修基弗，医学博士领导，包括三个项目。核心项目“先进的知识调动和电子通信”在所有项目和合作伙伴之间进行互动。“加强组织能力”项目发展行政一级的关系，以影响公司价值观和组织（志愿）政策;而“在父母务农时保护儿童”项目则解决移民和移徙农场工人家庭的主要托儿需求。在Casper Bendixsen博士领导的预防核心中，我们有两个项目。“通过调查进行干预：“初级农民和牧场主”采用文化人类学方法，揭示影响农业新手决策的影响范围，特别是那些得到美国农业部新的BFR倡议支持的影响范围。“发展可持续的SAY国家信息中心”项目有可能将有限的资源纳入一个长期系统，以满足公众对精简青年农业安全培训课程的愿望。Barbara Marvila博士领导了两个项目的研究核心。“填补儿童农业伤害数据的空白”探讨了现有的国家数据集的附加值。“提高主管的技能和雇主政策，以促进和保护青年农业工人的健康”是一项随机对照试验，以测试英语和西班牙语工人的干预措施。这是第一次，我们有一个专门的评估核心，由D。保罗Moberg，博士，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校，和他的团队将监督整个中心的评估和指导个别项目。 相关性：国家儿童中心有一个可持续发展努力的跟踪记录，并准备处理《保护农业中的儿童蓝图：201国家行动计划》中规定的优先事项。我们强大而多元化的团队的集体经验提供了见解和机会，这些见解和机会将通过积极主动地与私营部门合作伙伴合作，更有效地影响保护儿童免受农业危害的行为，从而超越传统的安全干预措施。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our Center's overall goal is to strengthen public-private partnerships to address childhood agricultural injury prevention. We are: a) guiding a national childhood agricultural injury prevention strategy with key partners; b) conducting research and promoting interventions with practical implications; c) building capacity for sustained strategies; and d) widely communicating information to lay audiences. Barbara Lee, PhD, will continue serving as director, with Barbara Marlenga, PhD, serving as deputy director. Many of the proposed projects take advantage of our resources that have endured the test of time and partnerships that have been nurtured and augmented. All projects are interrelated directly per specified activities and/or indirectly through evaluation and communication strategies. Our cohesive management and innovative strategies have the potential for making notable advances in affecting positive changes. The Outreach Education Core, led by Matthew Kiefer, MD includes three projects. The Centerpiece "Advanced Knowledge Mobilization and E-Communications" project interacts across all projects and partners. The "Strengthening Organization Capacity" project develops executive-level relationships to influence corporate values and organization (voluntary) policies; while the "Protecting Children While Parents Work in Agriculture" addresses a major childcare need for immigrant and migrant farm worker families. In the Prevention Core, led by Casper Bendixsen, PhD, we have two projects. "Intervention through Inquiry: Beginning Farmers and Ranchers (BFR)" uses a cultural anthropology approach to uncover spheres of influence affecting decisions of people new to agriculture, especially those supported by new USDA initiatives for BFRs. The "Developing a Sustainable SAY National Clearinghouse" project has the potential to align a time-limited resource into a long-term system that addresses the public's desire for streamlined youth agriculture safety training curriculums. Barbara Marlenga, PhD, leads the Research Core with two projects. "Filling the Gaps in Child Agricultural Injury Data" explores existing national data sets for added value. "Enhancing Supervisors' Skills and Employer Policies to Promote and Protect the Health of Youth Agricultural Workers" is a randomized controlled trial to test interventions among English and Spanish speaking workers. For the first time, we have a dedicated Evaluation Core, led by D. Paul Moberg, PhD, of UW-Madison, and his team will oversee Center-wide evaluations and guide individual projects. RELEVANCE: The National Children's Center has a track record of synergist efforts and is poised to address Priorities set forth in the Blueprint for Protecting Children in Agriculture: 201 National Action Plan. The collective experiences of our robust and diverse team have provided insights and opportunities that will move behind traditional safety interventions by proactively engaging private-sector partners in a position to more effectively influence behaviors that protect children from agricultural hazards.
