Description
The Southeast Center for Agricultural Health and Injury Prevention at the University of Kentucky (UK)
proposes to continue serving as a NIOSH Agricultural Center for 2011-2016. The Center, founded in 1992, is
one of seven centers of excellence in the UK College of Public Health. Our location on a land-grant campus
allows substantive transdisciplinary collaboration within this renewal from disciplines including agriculture,
public health, epidemiology, engineering, education, social work, communications, economics, nursing,
medicine, and Cooperative Extension. We propose 9 projects: 3 are comprehensive R01 re~earch; 2 are
R 18 prevention/intervention; 1 is an R03 education/translation project, and 3 are R18 education/translation
projects. The application includes an administrative/planning core and separate strategic plans for outreach,
pilot/feasibility studies, and evaluation. The Center's theme, "Transdisciplinary approaches to agricultural
safety and health in the Southeast," is further distinguished by our emphasis on serving limited resource and
vulnerable farm populations while addressing persistent and emerging agricultural occupational safety
concerns. The region served by the Center will continue to be the 10 southeastern states of AL, FL, GA, KY,
MS, NC, SC, TN, VA and WV. With this renewal, the Southeast Center expects to have a sUbstantial impact
on the following priorities: Hispanic farmworker safety and work organizaton; tractor overturns; cancer
incidence in farmers/cancer surveillance; hazards in aquaculture; the personal, operational, and societal
costs of injuries and the cost-effectiveness of prevention; safety communication in the logging industry;
nurses' education, service, and clinical practice in farm safety and health; graduate education in agricultural
occupational safety and health, and Native American farm safety. While projects are based in our 10-state
region, each holds wider relevance as well as real potential for national impact. The Center benefits from a
strong institutional commitment and support from 9 colleges within the UK system on the Lexington campus.
he Center also enjoys substantive collaboration with researchers at Auburn University, Wake Forest
University, the Northeast Center for Agricultural & Occupational Health, and diverse grassroots stakeholders.
