Major areas of interest
Specific Collaboration Requirement for Research Proposal Involving Children Exposed to the 9/11 Disaster
Only a small number of children exposed to 9/11 were enrolled in either the 9/11 Health Registry or the WTC Health Program. In the 15 years that have passed since 2001, many of these children have now advanced in age thus further reducing the number of children available for recruitment as research subjects. To maximize the likelihood of success of future research efforts, and minimize the recruitment burden to this small cohort, NIOSH will only accept applications when proposed research activities reflect collaborations by multiple institutions to achieve an integration of physical, behavioral and mental health of children/youth and adequately address recruitment challenges to provide adequate statistical power.

Section V. Application Review Information
1. Criteria
Scored Review Criteria
Investigator(s)
Does the project address important needs or critical barriers to help determine physical and mental health conditions which have persisted, and new symptoms and conditions which have emerged, in people exposed to the 9/11 disaster? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practices be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventive interventions used in the World Trade Center Health Program, occupational health, or public health? What is the potential impact of the project on occupational health and safety or public health?
For Renewal Applications: Has the project made significant contributions to new knowledge about diseases, conditions, treatments or other areas relevant to responder or community member cohorts impacted by the WTC disaster?
