Description:Over the course of NIOSH’s 50-year history, occupational chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and adverse reproductive outcomes have always been a significant public health burden and source of economic costs. Since its inception in 2004, the Cancer, Reproductive, Cardiovascular, and Other Chronic Disease Prevention Program (CRC), within the NIOSH Program Portfolio, has provided leadership in the prevention of work-related chronic diseases and conditions. The CRC Program works with partners in industry, labor, trade associations, professional organizations, and academia focusing on preventing and reducing: (1) occupational cancer; (2) adverse reproductive outcomes related to workplace exposures; (3) cardiovascular disease among workers; and (4) other chronic diseases such as occupational neurologic and renal disease. Evidence of burden, need, and impact are used to identify priorities to help guide research efforts towards preventing occupational disease.
