[[Page 37923]]

    Time and Date: 12:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m., July 30, 1997.
    Place: Teleconference originating at the NIOSH Grants Office, 1095 
Willowdale Road, Morgantown, West Virginia 26505-2888.
    Status: The meeting will be closed in accordance with the 
provisions set forth in sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6), title 5 
U.S.C., and the Determination of the Associate Director for Management 
and Operations, CDC, pursuant to Pub. L. 92-463. Application(s) and/or 
proposal(s) and the discussions could reveal confidential trade secrets 
or commercial property such as patentable material, and personal 
information concerning individuals associated with the application(s) 
and/or proposal(s), the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly 
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
    Purpose: The Task Group Session of the Safety and Occupational 
Health Study Section will review, discuss, and evaluate grant 
application(s) in response to the Institute's Request for Application 
Number 722, entitled ``Intervention Studies for Construction Safety and 
Health.''
    It is the intent of NIOSH to support broad-based research endeavors 
which will lead to the prevention of work-related diseases and injuries 
in the construction industry by designing, implementing, and evaluating 
measures to reduce occupational hazards. If prevention measures are not 
currently available, new technologies should be developed for 
controlling hazardous exposures. Such new technologies must be 
evaluated to determine that the prevention measures are feasible, even 
for smaller businesses. Intervention research, of which control 
technology is a part, examines the utility and impact of new and 
existing preventive measures in the workplace. It is anticipated that 
research funded will promote these goals.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
