A long term health study for oil spill clean-up workers and volunteers
The GuLFSTUDY (Gulf Long-term Follow-up Study) Program is designed to study the health of individuals who helped with the oil spill response and clean-up, took training, signed up to work, or were sent to the Gulf to help in some way after the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is leading this research with the support of many local community groups. The study is funded by the Intramural Program of the NIEHS. The NIEHS is part of the National Institutes of Health. The NIEHS mission is to discover how the environment affects people in order to promote healthier lives.
