• Description:
  The mission of the Cancer, Reproductive, Cardiovascular and Other Chronic Disease Prevention Program (CRC) is to provide national and international leadership for the prevention of work-related diseases using a scientific approach to gather and synthesize information, create knowledge, provide recommendations, and deliver products and services to those who can affect prevention. CRC includes projects addressing a wide variety of health endpoints. The concentration of the program's projects includes work-related research related to many types of 1) occupational cancer, 2) adverse reproductive outcomes related to work, and 3) CVD among workers. Additionally, CRC is the NIOSH program that includes projects related to occupational neurologic and renal diseases as well as other chronic conditions or illnesses not identified elsewhere in the program portfolio. Evidence of burden, need, and impact are used to identify priorities to help guide research efforts towards preventing occupational disease. [Description provided by NIOSH]
