cycles pertaining to research issues in occupational safety and 
health, and allied areas. It is the intent of NIOSH to support 
broad-based research endeavors in keeping with the Institute's 
program goals.
    This will lead to improved understanding and appreciation for 
the magnitude of the aggregate health burden associated with 
occupational injuries and illnesses, as well as to support more 
focused research projects, which will lead to improvements in the 
delivery of occupational safety and health services, and the 
prevention of work-related injury and illness. It is anticipated 
that research funded will promote these program goals.
    Matters To Be Discussed: The meeting will convene in open 
session from 8-8:30 a.m. on February 19, 2004, to address matters 
related to the conduct of Study Section business. The remainder of 
the meeting will proceed in closed session. The purpose of the 
closed sessions is for the study section to consider safety and 
occupational health-related grant applications. These portions of 
the meeting will be closed to the public in accordance with 
provisions set forth in Section 552b(c)(4) and (6), Title 5 U.S.C., 
and the Determination of the Director, Management Analysis and 
Services Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 
pursuant to Section 10(d) Pub. L. 92-463.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
