The Federal Partners in the Gulf Long-Term Follow-up (GuLF) Study Working Group is an interagency group of Federal agencies responding to potential health effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster. The working group was convened to provide input on the design and conduct of the Gulf Long-Term Follow-up (GuLF) study, a longitudinal study of oil spill clean-up workers led by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences with support from the NIH Common Fund, NIH OD and BP. Working group members share ideas on ways to maximize interagency efficiency and effectiveness by working collaboratively on areas of common interest and sharing data and samples collected by their agencies, they identify data collection needs that could be met by the GuLF study rather than duplicate surveys to the same population, and they identify agency resources that could be brought together to improve the GuLF study. Scientific oversight for the study is provided by the National Academy of Science''s Institute of Medicine.
This helps to facilitate information exchange and coordination among federal agencies with regards to understanding the toxicity and health effects associated with the of Gulf oil spill exposures among workers and affected communities.
