PROTECTING WORKER HEALTH:

SAVE THE NIOSH EDUCATION AND RESOURCE CENTERS (ERCs) AND THE AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING (AFF) SECTOR OF THE NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL RESEARCH AGENDA (NORA)

Your Assistance is Requested!

AIHA is enlisting your help to protect federal funding for the NIOSH Education and Resource Centers (ERCs) and the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (AFF) sector of the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA).

The President has proposed elimination of all federal funding of the ERCs and the AFF in the FY 2012 budget.  This amounts to $24,300,000 for the ERCs and $23,000,000 for the NORA Ag sector.

AIHA national is asking the membership to contact their elected officials and urge the preservation of existing funding for NIOSH in the FY 2011 budget and the preservation of NIOSH funding for the ERCs and the AFF sector in the FY 2012 budget.

Learn more about the proposed funding elimination and what you can do to help!
