Proposed Project
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
Among Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Workers: A NEISS–Work
Telephone Interview Survey—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Studies have reported that EMS
workers have higher rates of non-fatal
injuries and illnesses as compared to the
general worker population. As EMS
professionals are tasked with protecting
the health of the public and treating
urgent medical needs, it follows that
understanding and preventing injuries
and illnesses among EMS workers will
have a benefit reaching beyond the
workers to the general public.
As mandated in the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub.L
91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to
conduct research and investigations on
occupational safety and health. Related
to this mission, the purpose of this
project is to conduct research that will
provide a detailed description of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses
incurred by EMS workers. The project
will use two related data sources. The
first source is data abstracted from
medical records of EMS workers treated
in a nationally stratified sample of
emergency departments. These data are
routinely collected by the occupational
supplement to the National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System (NEISS–
Work). The second data source, for
which NIOSH is seeking OMB approval,
is responses to telephone interview
surveys of the injured and ill EMS
workers identified within NEISS–Work.
The proposed telephone interview
surveys will supplement NEISS–Work
data with an extensive description of
EMS worker injuries and illnesses,
including worker characteristics, injury
types, injury circumstances, injury
outcomes, and use of personal
protective equipment. Previous reports
describing occupational injuries and
illnesses to EMS workers provide
limited details on specific regions or
sub-segments of the population. As
compared to these earlier studies, the
scope of the telephone interview data
will be broader as it includes sampled
cases nationwide and has no limitations
in regards to type of employment (i.e.,
volunteer versus career). Results from
the telephone interviews will be
weighted and reported as national
estimates.
The sample size for the telephone
interview survey is estimated to be
approximately 175 EMS workers
annually for the proposed four year
duration of the study. This estimate is
based on the number of EMS workers
identified in previous years of NEISS–
Work data and a 50% response rate that
is comparable to the rate of previously
conducted National Electronic Injury
Surveillance System telephone
interview studies. Each telephone
interview will take approximately 20
minutes to complete, resulting in an
annualized burden estimate of 58 hours.
This project is a collaborative effort
between the Division of Safety Research
in the NIOSH and the Office of
Emergency Medical Services in the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. Both agencies have a
strong interest in improving
surveillance of EMS worker injuries and
illnesses to provide the information
necessary for effectively targeting and
implementing prevention efforts and,
consequently, reducing occupational
injuries and illnesses among EMS
workers.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 58.

Notice of Non-Competitive Award of
Funding to the Communities
Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief
(CAEAR) Coalition Foundation, Inc
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Non-Competitive
Award of Funding to the Communities
Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief
(CAEAR) Coalition Foundation, Inc.
This Federal Register Notice
announces the non-competitive
extension of Grant Number
U69HA07626, Supporting Networks of
HIV Care by Enhancing Primary Medical
Care (SNHC by EPMC), to the CAEAR
Coalition Foundation, Inc., the awardee
of record, for one additional year,
through August 31, 2010, at a funding
level of approximately $1,451,445. The
purpose of the award extension is to
allow for the completion of ongoing
work and an external evaluation
assessment of the project’s activities
undertaken during the project period of
September 1, 2006, through August 31,
2009, before a new competitive cycle is
started. Evaluation findings will help
HRSA frame a new competitive
opportunity in fiscal year (FY) 2010.
The authority for this funding is the
Public Health Service Act, section 2692,
42 U.S.C. § 300ff–111, as amended by
the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Modernization Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–
415); it can be viewed under the Catalog
for Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)
Number 93.145.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HRSA’s
HIV/AIDS Bureau’s (HAB), Division of
Training and Technical Assistance
(DTTA), awarded the current awardee
non-competitive funding for FY 2009 for
a fourth and final project year
September 1, 2009, through August 31,
2010, in the amount of $1,451,445,
which represents $2,085,822 less than
awarded in fiscal year FY 2008 for year
three activities.
The SNHC by EPMC is solely funded
by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services’ Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)
and utilizes innovative strategies and

activities specifically targeted to the
highest risk and hardest-to-serve
minority populations and communities
of color. The SNHC by EPMC is a
national technical assistance (TA) and
capacity building project with the goal
to ensure providers’ ability to serve
ethnic/racial minority communities;
enable providers to adapt to an
environment of few resources, rising
costs, and growing HIV/AIDS
prevalence; integrate new providers into
systems of HIV care; and identify and
deliver best practices and clinical
guidelines to ultimately improve the
lives of those impacted by HIV/AIDS.
Owing to unanticipated changes and
delays in initiating the originally
proposed projected activities and the
evaluation of the program, additional
time and resources are necessary to
conclude the proposed activities and the
external evaluation of the project’s
activities. This evaluation and
assessment, to be completed between
September 1, 2009, and November 30,
2009, are critical to HRSA in developing
a new competitive opportunity in fiscal
year (FY) 2010 that more specifically
targets the needs of primary care
organizations that treat individuals with
HIV/AIDS, and provides more refined
approaches to the conduct of technical
assistance and training that supports
and sustains such organizations.
By non-competitively awarding funds
to the current grantee, CAEAR Coalition
Foundation, Inc., in the fourth year, the
external evaluation will be able to take
into account the complete collection of
case studies and provide a metaanalysis, thereby furthering the
Agency’s understanding of capacity
needs of HIV service providers and
allowing for better targeted future
funding decisions. Given the
importance and visibility of this
departmental initiative, it is critical that
this project be assessed and evolve in a
manner that addresses the ever changing
HIV epidemic and its impact on
marginalized populations and the safety
net providers that serve them.
