This will be accomplished through the collaborative efforts of the Emergency Prevention, Preparedness, and Response (EPPR) Working Group of the Arctic Council and APRO in a major research and prevention project," Preventing Morbidity and Mortality among Arctic Oil Spill Response Workers." The contractor will be retained to provide the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Alaska Pacific Regional Office (APRO) with the coordination, technical assistance, and liaison activities necessary for this extensive international collaboration. The need for this contract is significant as APRO does not have the internal capacity to provide these services. Purpose These activities serve CDC/NIOSH Oil and Gas and Commercial Fishing strategic goals for safety, as well as the CDC/NIOSH Global Health Collaborations goals, by fostering surveillance, collaboration, and understanding of these serious or mortal, but often preventable, events. Mr. Parker is uniquely qualified and is the best provider of these specific services for APRO. He is the only vendor who has the experience, knowledge, skills and ability to collaborate on current research documents and projects, and is able to assist in developing future research, manuscripts and prevention activities in this narrow technical area. In 1989, Governor Cowper appointed Mr. Parker as Chairman of the Alaska Oil Spill Commission (1989-90) charged with examining the causes of the wreck of the Exxon-Valdez and the failure of the spill response system. The Commission's work was a primary input to the Congress as it wrote the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and to the Alaska and other state legislatures in writing state acts dealing with oil spills. Subsequently, he became Chair of the Alaska Hazardous Substance Spill Technology Review Council (1990-95) which examined oil spills and other hazardous substance problems in Alaska. During this period he also served on the National Research Council's Marine Board Committee on Pilotage and Navigation. In 1995, he was appointed by President Clinton as a Commissioner of the Arctic Research Commission (1995-2001). This led to appointment to the U.S. delegation to the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy Working Group on Emergency Preparation, Prevention and Response in 1995, where he still serves.
