should the application be successful.

THE NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMISSION (NOHSC) is 
undertaking a stocktake of current Australian OHS research. NOHSC has 
developed a web-based interface that allows researchers in OHS fields to 
contribute details of current (i.e. not yet completed) and recent (i.e. 
completed after June 2001) research to a national database. This database 
will then be made available on the NOHSC web site. Information about your 
research should be submitted to the NOHSC by Friday 8th March, 2003. For 
more information (and the forms), you can go to 
www.nohsc.gov.au/ResearchCoordination/Stocktake/default.asp
