描述（由申请人提供）：纽约农业医学与卫生中心（NYCAMH）与宾夕法尼亚州立大学、哈佛大学公共卫生学院、马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校和新泽西医学与牙科大学的研究人员合作，提出了另一个五年周期的活动。董事John May，医学博士和副董事Giulia Earle-Richardson，博士由几个外部咨询委员会和核心董事组成的内部咨询委员会协助。9个项目（7个为期5年，2个为期2年）侧重于诺拉农业、林业和渔业议程中为农民和商业渔民规定的若干战略目标。一个研究核心项目解决了拖拉机翻车的问题。其中两个解决了目前在农业和渔业伤害监测方面的不足。一个为期两年的项目评估移民工人在园艺和园林绿化方面的危害。一个“预防核心”项目利用社会营销推广机械防护，另一个旨在防止拖拉机倾覆。一个翻译核心项目将解决商业捕鱼中甲板上的缠结问题。另一个是将NEC关于粪便气体有效通风的杰出工作转化为广泛可访问的基于计算机的格式。评估核心项目评估儿童伤害教育干预的结果。各种为期一年的“可行性”项目将探索由顾问指定的高优先级领域和新出现的挑战。国家农业委员会的培训人员网络将继续向其他资源不再提供这些服务的地区的农民提供安全和健康培训。将继续与地区移民健康项目合作，对移民农场工人的伤害进行监测。NEC图书馆将为研究人员和决策者提供支持。一个经验丰富的评估小组将持续进行评估，并定期向选委会领导小组和咨询机构报告。在农业、商业捕鱼、研究和公共卫生方面具有专门知识的三个咨询机构将向国家经济委员会领导提供咨询和客观批评。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH), in collaboration with investigators from the Pennsylvania State University, Harvard School of Public Health, University of Massachusetts-Lowell and University of Medicine and Dentistry, New Jersey proposes another five-year cycle of activities. Director John May, MD and deputy director Giulia Earle-Richardson, PhD be assisted by several external advisory committees and an Internal Advisory Committee of the core directors. Nine projects (seven 5-year; two 2-year) focus upon a number of the Strategic Goals specified in the NORA Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Agenda for both farmers and commercial fishermen. One Research Core project addresses the problem of tractor overturn. Two address current deficits in farming and fishing injury surveillance. A two-year project assesses hazards with immigrant workers in horticulture and landscaping. A Prevention Core project uses social marketing to promote machinery shielding, another aims to prevent tractor overturns. One Translation Core project will address on-deck entanglements in commercial fishing. Another translates outstanding NEC work on effective ventilation of manure gas to a widely accessible computer-based format. An Evaluation Core project assesses outcomes of child Injury educational interventions. A variety of one-year "feasibility" projects will explore areas of high priority and emerging challenges designated by advisors. The NEC's network of trainers will continue to provide safety and health trainings to farmers in regions where other resources no longer provide these services. Surveillance of Injuries to immigrant farmworkers will continue in collaboration with regional migrant health programs. The NEC library will support researchers and policy makers. A sophisticated evaluation team will continually assess and regularly report to the NEC leadership group and to advisory bodies. Three advisory bodies with expertise in agriculture, in commercial fishing and in research and public health will provide NEC leadership with advice and objective criticism.
