The Centers for Agricultural Disease and Injury Research,
Education, and Prevention represent a major NIOSH effort to protect the health and safety
of agricultural workers and their families. The NIOSH Agricultural Centers were
established as part of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) / NIOSH
Agricultural Health and Safety Initiative in 1990. The Centers were established by
cooperative agreement to conduct research, education, and prevention projects to address
the nations pressing agricultural health and safety problems. Geographically,
the Centers are distributed throughout the nation to be responsive to the agricultural
health and safety issues unique to the different regions.
