The Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health (GPCAH) is dedicated to protecting the health and safety of farmers, ranchers, farm workers, their families, and agricultural community members in the Midwest and beyond. The Center’s goals are achieved through basic and applied research, education and training, community outreach, and translation of research findings into effective interventions for the prevention of injury and illness resulting from agricultural work exposures. The GPCAH is one of 12 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)‐funded Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/oep/agctrhom.html). The GPCAH Pilot/Feasibility Projects Program supports new agricultural health and safety research, prevention, intervention, community outreach, and translation projects likely to lead to more comprehensive projects or activities. We support research projects that address occupational hazards relevant to farmers and farm workers in our nine‐state region (IA, IL, IN, KS, NE, MO, MN, OH, & WI). Pilot projects addressing work‐related stress and mental health, the prevention of slips, trips and falls, machine safety, and chemical safety are encouraged.
