•Diagnosing WTC-related health
conditions for which there have been
diagnostic uncertainty; and
•Treating WTC-related health
conditions for which there have been
treatment uncertainty.
Request for Information
The WTC Health Program conducts
research among members receiving
monitoring or treatment in the Program
and in sampled populations outside the
New York City disaster area in
Manhattan as far north as 14th Street
and in Brooklyn. WTC survivors include
individuals who lived, worked, went to
school, or attended child or adult day
care in the NYC Disaster Area on
September 11, 2001, or in the following
days, weeks, or months and those
otherwise meeting the eligibility criteria
in 42 CFR 88.8. NIOSH is soliciting
public comments from any interested
party regarding research priorities for
WTC Health Program FY2022 research
projects on WTC survivors (adults and
children) and similar survivor
populations south of 14th street in
Manhattan and in Brooklyn.
Specifically, NIOSH seeks input on the
following questions:
(1) What are the most important
research gaps that need to be addressed
within the scope of the research
solicitation? (For NIOSH-funded
research projects related to the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and
areas of interest based on the Program’s
Research Agenda, please visit the WTC
Health Program Research Gateway.)
(2) What are the most important areas
of diagnostic and treatment uncertainty
that could most benefit from
intervention research (information that
bridges the gap between science and
practice, care, or treatment by
addressing the barriers, challenges, and
needs to advance implementation of
new or improved treatment, care, or
practices)?
(3) What are the primary research
needs of WTC survivors (adults and/or
children) and similar survivor
populations south of 14th street in
Manhattan and in Brooklyn?

Program and Director, National Institute for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Description: This information
collection is to provide nationally
descriptive, longitudinal data on
partnerships between Early Head Start
programs and child care providers to
inform program planning, technical
assistance, and research. The proposed
data collection is a follow-up study of
the 2015 (National Descriptive Study
(NDS) of Early Head Start–Child Care
Partnerships (OMB 0970–0471) that
obtained information about the EHS
programs, community-based child care
centers, and family child care providers
participating in the federal grants
supporting the implementation of Early
Head Start–child care partnerships
(EHS–CCPs). The current information
collection request will follow up with
EHS programs and child care providers
who participated in the NDS to
understand whether and how
partnerships have been sustained or
have dissolved, and which features of
partnerships support or impede
sustainability. Data collection activities
will include surveys of directors of 2015
EHS–CCP grantees and of child care
provider directors/managers who were
selected for participation in the NDS, as
well as semi-structured interviews with
a purposive sample of providers whose
partnerships have dissolved and have
been sustained since 2016.
Respondents: Early Head Start
program directors and child care
providers.
