Summary: Within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) awards grants for and oversees the WTC health programs that provide services for responders to the WTC attack. In light of our findings on NIOSH's cost estimation process for fiscal year 2007 and of the development of a cost estimate for fiscal year 2008, Congress asked us to identify the changes that NIOSH made for fiscal year 2008 and to determine whether these changes represent an improvement.
