Governmental agencies and organizations have been faced with increasing demand to measure the effectiveness in improving research and/or public health practice activities. Effectiveness can be measured by the products (outputs) of program activities and subsequent outcomes, such as benefits or changes at an individual or population level. Outputs are the immediate products or direct result of program activities. Examples include publications, reports, conference proceedings, presentations/posters, investigator career development, databases, tools, methods, guidelines, recommendations, education and training materials.

NIOSH actively partners with the states in surveillance and epidemiology to develop goals, jointly conduct and/or coordinate programmatic activity, share surveillance data and research statistics, and communicate national and regional major accomplishments and impact. In cooperation with state programs, NIOSH co-publishes numerous surveillance and epidemiology articles related to OSH exposures and illnesses in order to highlight work being done by the recipients. NIOSH makes these and other state outputs publicly available through the State-based Occupational Health Surveillance Clearinghouse. NIOSH also collaborates with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) to increase state-based surveillance capacity in the US. With NIOSH support, CSTE develops and maintains Occupational Health Indicator methods and data; develops guidance, success stories, and communication strategies; integrates surveillance into broader public health practice; coordinates and plans meetings, workshops, and webinars for state surveillance practitioners; and promotes collaboration between and across state and federal government.

Participate actively in relevant CDC/NIOSH- and recipient-convened meetings or conference calls of grantees to share experiences and best practices on topics such as emerging trends, hazards, and data challenges and solutions, given your additional experience in OSH surveillance.

The purpose of the Communication and Translation Plan is to identify intended audiences and stakeholders for dissemination of surveillance findings and tailor communication products to those groups. Findings that might be communicated could be the following: public health impact an economic burden of work-related illnesses and mortality, how and why surveillance data informs policy/legislation, advance and inform best practices in surveillance and epidemiology, contribution to workplace solutions, or total worker health protection and promotion, such as interaction of occupational and personal risk factors for worker health and safety.

The varied nature of state surveillance programs, activities, and projects can involve research and non-research activities. Applicants will use the PHS 398 Research Plan Form to provide information on proposed programs, activities, and projects. Applicants are directed to be clear about research and public health practice activities in the descriptions they provide. Applicants may demonstrate commitment by allocating sufficient staff to the proposed work.

All information systems, electronic or hard copy which contain Federal data need to be protected from unauthorized access. This also applies to information associated with NIOSH grants and contracts. Congress and the OMB have instituted laws, policies and directives that govern the creation and implementation of federal information security practices that pertain specifically to grants and contracts. The current regulations are pursuant to the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), 44 U.S.C. 3541 et seq. The applicability of FISMA to NIOSH recipient applies only when recipients collect, store, process, transmit or use information on behalf of HHS or any of its component organizations. In all other cases, FISMA is not applicable to recipients of grants, including cooperative agreements. The recipient retains the original data and intellectual property, and is responsible for the security of this data, subject to all applicable laws protecting security, privacy, and research. When information collected by a recipient is provided to HHS, responsibility for the protection of the HHS copy of the information is transferred to HHS and it becomes the agency's responsibility to protect that information and any derivative copies as required by FISMA.

In this article, we discuss lessons learned through working toward inclusivity within the complex system of education. The systems level focus is intentional. Although progress has been made in curricular, instructional, and assessment practices, these practices must occur within a system that supports their implementation and sustainability for all students.

We want inclusivity to be a value practiced in our culture, but unfortunately this is not the norm in the United States. The creation of inclusive school communities is hard because it is counter-cultural; we are trying to create a new culture that is counter to what exists in the broader community and one in which we lack experience. The hope? More people acknowledge this challenge today, which may increase their willingness to work together to support a sense of belonging, active participation, and learning for each student who walks or wheels in the front door.
