NIOSH is part of which federal agency group?

• A. CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
• B. FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
• C. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
• D. NIH (National Institutes of Health)

Answer: (A)

NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is a component of the Department of Health and Human Services. NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, conducts research and makes recommendations to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses. It sits within CDC, not within FDA, EPA, or NIH. FDA regulates foods, drugs, and medical devices; EPA handles environmental protection; NIH is a separate health research institute within the same department but not the parent of NIOSH. So the federal agency group that includes NIOSH is the CDC.
