The North American Industry Classification System Code is 541710 and the business size standard is 500 employees. The Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB) within the National Cancer Institute (NCI) conducts studies in the United States and abroad to identify and evaluate environmental and workplace exposures that may be associated with cancer risk. Research projects are designed to identify occupational, environmental, and other factors affecting cancer risk; to characterize exposure-response relationships; to elucidate biological mechanisms of action; to identify susceptible populations and gene-environment interactions; and to improve research methods for occupational investigations. The NCI has a need for specific expertise in epidemiologic applications of industrial hygiene to meet critical needs on five major research areas: 1) Study of miners exposed to diesel exhaust (Diesel Study); 2) Study of NHL and occupational exposures to organic solvents, chlorinated solvents and aromatic, solvents, wood dust polychlorinated solvents, pesticides, chromium and lead (DCEG NHL Study); 3) Study of bladder cancer and occupational exposures to arsenic, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorinated solvents, pesticides, aromatic amines, welding fumes, oil mist; and diesel exhaust (New England Bladder Cancer Study); 4) Study of renal cell cancer and occupational exposures to trichloroethylene, pesticides, lead, other chlorinated solvents, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, asbestos, nickel, and glass fibers (The US Renal Cell Cancer Study); and 5) Study of brain cancer and occupational exposures to lead, chromium, cadmium, chlorinated solvents, pesticides, PCPs, aromatic solvents and PAHs (DEEG Brain Cancer Study).
