[Guest guest]

Dear migrant health research colleagues,

The Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center, funded by the

National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety, is pleased to announce

funding opportunities for projects related to agricultural safety and health.

Each year of its current funding cycle (2006-2011) they will be offering

opportunities for Northwest researchers, students, and community members and

organizations to apply for project funding directly through the Center. The

total award amount may be up to $25,000 in direct costs per project. Projects

will be one year in length and selection of awards will be based on scientific

merit and program relevance.

The goal of this funding program is to stimulate innovative research; encourage

collaboration between institutions and involvement with concerned communities;

and attract new and established investigators to the field of agricultural

health and safety.

Eligible Applicants:

*All University of Washington (UW) investigators. Affiliation with the PNASH

Center members is not necessary for proposal submission.

*Researchers with organizations other than the UW who have contacted the PNASH

Center and established an affiliation with the PNASH Center.

*UW graduate students applying in conjunction with a faculty advisor. The

faculty advisor must be listed as the principal investigator on the project.

*Northwest region community members or organizations that establish a

collaboration with the PNASH Center (the Centers region includes WA, OR, ID and
