  The Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center (UMASH) is a multidisciplinary Center of Excellence in Agricultural Disease and Injury Research, Education, and Prevention. UMASH is a collaboration of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota School of Medicine, National Farm Medicine Center of the Marshfield Clinic, Migrant Clinicians Network, and the Minnesota Department of Health. UMASH has used its unique multidisciplinary expertise to primarily focus on worker health and safety issues related to animal agriculture production. The central theme of UMASH is to promote a One Health philosophy that emphasizes the connections between human health, animal, and plant health and the health of the environment for addressing the changing health and safety conditions for the people who are feeding the nation and the world. The long-term objective of the UMASH center is to improve the health and safety of agricultural workers and their families. The objectives of the proposed center activities are to apply multidisciplinary solutions to create and translate new knowledge for addressing agricultural health and safety concerns relevant to the Upper Midwest, the country, and the world. The specific aims of UMASH are to: Aim 1. Continue to leverage the multidisciplinary expertise of the UMASH partnerships to build regional capacity agricultural health and safety. Aim 2. Conduct research that applies innovative approaches to the complex agricultural health and safety concerns in the Upper Midwest. Aim 3. Engage a multidisciplinary network of stakeholders to understand agricultural health and safety from the context of those affected most. Aim 4. Identify and respond to emerging issues identified through the stakeholder networks. Aim 5. Conduct outreach and engagement to actively translate the knowledge generated from UMASH and other sources to stakeholders. Aim 6. Collaborate with other NIOSH funded centers to improve the impact of the NIOSH AFF program. [Description provided by NIOSH]
