indicates that the cumulative total agriculture program funding allocated to the cat-
egory “Migrant & Minority” was less than 10 percent of all its resources dedicated
to “Priority Populations”. In 1995, NIOSH staff convened a 12-member advisory
group to recommend priorities for surveillance among hired farm laborers. This
effort could be a model for future surveillance. NIOSH Cincinnati brought together
a group of nationally known researchers and medical practitioners with many years
of experience both studying occupational safety in this population and/or provid-
ing health services. The effort was chaired by noted stakeholders (Valerie Wilk of
the Farmworker Justice Fund and Rose Holden of the Rural Community Assistance
Corporation), and the California Institute for Rural Studies was eventually com-
missioned to prepare the report of this task force and forward the final document
in 1998. The report and some of its recommendations were briefly mentioned in
the evidence package (page 174 of NIOSH, 2006a).
National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS): NIOSH partnered with the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL) for the purpose of adding an occupational health
and safety supplement to DOL's ongoing National Agricultural Workers Survey
(NAWS) of hired crop farm workers during 1999.
