Description (from the official listing)

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program K01 Award supports early-career investigators in developing independent research careers focused on improving the health and well-being of populations affected by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11). This award provides up to three years of mentored research and career development support, including at least 75 percent protected time. The program supports research that improves understanding of physical and mental health effects associated with 9/11 exposures, addresses diagnostic or treatment uncertainty, identifies emerging health concerns, examines aging among exposed populations, and informs improvements in clinical care, public health practice, and long-term health outcomes. Research that helps translate scientific findings into improved care and public health practice is encouraged. Responsive research may include epidemiologic, clinical, translational, preclinical, health services, health outcomes, diagnostic, treatment, prevention, quality-of-life, and implementation research. Generalizability to other populations is not required. The award also supports the development of the next generation of investigators needed to address health needs related to 9/11 exposure. More information, including the WTC Health Program Research Agenda and previously funded projects, is available at: https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/researchagenda.html and https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/fundingdashboard.html.
