    Name: Task Group Session of the Safety and Occupational Health

(NIOSH).
    Times and Dates: 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m., August 13, 1997. 8 a.m.-5:30

    Place: Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, 400 New Jersey

    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 725, entitled ``Childhood Agricultural Safety and Health 
Research.''
    It is the intent of NIOSH to support broad-based research endeavors 
which will maximize the safety and health of children and adolescents 
exposed to agricultural production hazards by expanding the knowledge 
base regarding etiology; outcomes; intervention strategies; and the 
effectiveness of commonly utilized educational materials and methods.
    Research may address children directly involved in work tasks and/
or other children exposed to agricultural production hazards. The 
funded research projects should cover a variety of types of 
agricultural production in different geographical regions (e.g. tomato 
harvesting in California, dairy farms in Wisconsin, and blueberry 
picking in Maine). It is anticipated that research funded will promote 
these goals.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
