• Description:
  Our Mission - The Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center conducts research and promotes best safety and health practices for Northwest producers, workers, and communities in farming, fishing, and forestry. Our Vision - Research for healthy workers, strong communities & productive agriculture. The PNASH's 2016-2022 funding cycle marks our 25th anniversary and a research portfolio only possible through a strong foundation of partnerships among our Northwest AgFF industries and communities. Our 6 core projects were: 1) Edward Kasner. Prevention of Occupational Exposure to Pesticide Drift; 2) Peter Rabinowitz. The Healthy Dairy Worker Study; 3) June Spector. A Multi-Level Approach to Heat Related Illness Prevention in Agricultural Workers; 4) Michael Yost. Injury and Illness Prevention in the Pacific Northwest for the Dairy Industry; 5) Laurel Kincl. Safety Surveillance for Pacific Northwest Fisheries; 6) Kit Galvin. Practical Solutions for Pesticide Safety. The PNASH Center's internal network of investigators is comprised of over 90 faculty, staff, and students from multiple disciplines and institutions, including 48 student degree projects and internships. Each year this nucleus of PNASH's research expertise allows our faculty and students to successfully procure additional project grants and advance our center, and stakeholders, goals and priorities. In the past cycle, our faculty was awarded 20 new research project awards affiliated with PNASH (not including student scholarship and trainee awards). In addition, PNASH supported early career investigators around the Northwest (ID, Oregon, WA, AK) through 14 Pilot Project projects. PNASH's Planning and Evaluation Core provides the infrastructure and support for the entire Center, conducts strategic planning, and assists in the implementation and evaluation of individual project and program objectives. Our cycle closed September 2022, completing a 6-year cycle of research activities and engagement across all three AgFF industries. We also successfully competed with a new portfolio of project proposals for our next 5-year program cycle. [Description provided by NIOSH]
