• Description:
  Center Summary: The Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (CS-CASH) conducts high quality research and translates scientific discoveries into practical applications to reduce the burden of injury and illness among farmers, ranchers, their families, and workers. CS-CASH, with a strong network of collaborators, provides regional leadership in research and outreach. Research teams from several states and institutions bring multi-disciplinary expertise and access to special populations. With our advisors and partners, we can leverage the Center's, resources to address local, regional and national issues. CS-CASH has built a cohesive approach that links planning, evaluation, research, and outreach to reduce agricultural occupational injury and illness. The Center's Planning and Evaluation Core provides strategic direction, administration, and evaluation and it responds to emerging issues. The Research Core conducts basic, intervention, translation, and surveillance research. The Research Core also manages pilot/feasibility projects with substantial in-kind support from UNMC. The Outreach Core has a special emphasis on vulnerable populations: women, veteran farmers, immigrant workers, and Native Americans. Several Center projects address health and safety in feed yard and livestock production work, a major gap in previous efforts of the Ag Centers. CS-CASH has collaborative agreements with several other Centers to work on issues of mutual importance. CS-CASH is well established with a clear vision, mission, goals, organization, and service area. [Description provided by NIOSH]
