• Description:
  The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sought an independent, expert, external peer review to evaluate both the impact and relevance of their Exposure Assessment (EXA) Program. . The review was intended to ensure that NIOSH was sufficiently protecting the health and safety of the worker population base and properly using taxpayer funds. The review would offer an accountability that would assist in meeting NIOSH Director's goals and responding to Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). NIOSH's program review contractor was tasked with selecting an EXA Program review panel chair. The chair, with the support of the program review contractor, would then help select 4-5 additional panel members consisting of 2-3 exposure scientists, 1 evaluation expert and 1 translation expert. On October 25, 2016, Dana Boyd Barr, an exposure scientist, was selected as the review panel chair. On November 10, 2016, Dr. Barr met with NIOSH evaluators at NIOSH offices in Atlanta, GA, to be given the charge of the panel and an overview of NIOSH and the review process. By January 2017, the other panel members had been selected. (The panel members are listed below). On February 28, 2017, the panel met via an Adobe Connect webinar to be given the charge and an overview of NIOSH and the review process. On April 7, 2017, the evidence package detailing NIOSH programs, activities, and research was provided to panel members for review. On May 10, 2017, NIOSH scientists provided an in-person overview of the EXA program at NIOSH-Atlanta and allowed panel members to ask questions and seek clarification. On the following day, panel members met to discuss the relevance and impact of the NIOSH EXA program. This report is a synthesis of panel members written reviews and discussion of the evidence package, EXA program presentations and ancillary information provided. All panel members have reviewed and edited the report and have provided individual scores for relevance and impact.
