Description: The purpose of this FOA is to extend and expand the World Trade Center Health Registry developed and managed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in a cooperative agreement with CDC. The new project will ensure ongoing data collection for victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC). The registry will continue to provide a central, unified database to assess short-term and long-term health effects among persons exposed to the WTC disaster. As noted in the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-347; see 42 USC 300mm-52), the WTC Program Administrator shall ensure that a registry of such victims is maintained that is at least as comprehensive as the World Trade Center&#194; Health Registry maintained under the arrangements in effect as of January 1, 2015, with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for the purpose of ensuring ongoing data collection relating to victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks
