Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC) Meetings
April 2015
NIOSH Docket Number 278
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC) is a federal advisory committee created to provide advice and guidance to the Director of NIOSH. The primary activity of the Committee is to provide advice on NIOSH’s occupational safety and health research and prevention programs. The BSC also advises on standards of scientific excellence, current needs in the field of occupational safety and health, and the applicability and dissemination of research findings. See NIOSH Board of Scientific Counselors for more information. The 15-member BSC generally convenes twice a year in Washington, DC.
This docket serves to archive materials presented and distributed during BSC meetings. Because some materials are developed by BSC members and speakers who are not NIOSH staff, the information contained within this docket does not necessarily represent NIOSH position or policy.
