In FY2014, NIOSH extramural researchers reported 532 peer-reviewed publications in 237 journals. Publications increased 63% over FY2013 with 334 publications in 152 journals. ERCs reported the largest number of publications in FY2014 (215), followed by investigator-initiated R01 research (133). The journal most frequently published in by NIOSH researchers was the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.

NIOSH’s global health initiatives supported the Global Plan of Action on Workers’ Health (GPA) through a cooperative agreement with the World Health Organization (WHO) to leverage the capacities of WHO to implement key actions under the GPA by strengthening the capacities of national health systems to respond to the specific health needs of workers.

NIOSH continued its long-standing support of global occupational health research and training through its co-sponsorship of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fogarty Inter­ national Center Global Environmental and Occupational Health Hubs planning grants to identify global need for research and training to address the most pressing environmental and occupational health issues around the world.
