Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center-Renewal

太平洋西北农业安全与健康中心（PNASH）成立于1996年，是一个重要的国家基础设施的一部分，致力于预防农业生产者，工人及其家庭的疾病和伤害。我们通过与西北地区（阿拉斯加、爱达荷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿）的主要利益相关者合作，努力实现这一目标。我们还与其他区域中心合作，制定国家农业健康和安全计划和政策。我们的中心是设在机构内的华盛顿的公共卫生学院，在四个州的地区，我们服务的唯一这样的学校的大学。自中心成立以来，我们一直致力于从事西北地区的三大农业部门：农业，林业和渔业。我们的中心反映了一个跨学科，多机构和地理上多样化的举措。我们的工作主要集中在目前研究中没有很好代表的人群，包括雇佣工人，移民/季节工，妇女和儿童。PNASH中心的主要目标是：  通过有凝聚力的、协调的和可持续的活动进行高质量的研究;  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。区域;  使用可获得的适当方法将我们的研究结果翻译和转移到太平洋西北部的农业，渔业和林业农业部门;  提供专业学习和发展的机会，包括本科生和研究生的体验式学习、继续教育、研究人员指导和学术交流;  通过积极的伙伴关系和合作，让我们的利益相关者参与中心的活动。

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.
