The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded Oregon Health & Science University $210,934 on September 1, 2026, under the Occupational Safety and Health Program (CFDA 93.262) to develop and test a mobile-based intervention designed to build safety culture and climate in construction jobsites. The award is structured as a project grant with performance through August 31, 2028, and work conducted in Oregon. The project focuses on a multi-level intervention targeting construction workers and jobsite environments to advance occupational safety and health outcomes in the construction industry. The Occupational Safety and Health Program funds a diverse portfolio of extramural research and training efforts to prevent work-related injury and illness, with emphasis on recognizing new hazards, defining problem magnitude, tracking incidence trends, targeting high-risk workplaces for intervention, and evaluating prevention effectiveness. Project grants under this program typically fund periods not exceeding five years and are evaluated on scientific merit, technical adequacy, investigator competency, adequacy of facilities and resources, budget necessity, and relevance to stated program objectives through a two-step peer review process: initial scientific and technical merit review by a scientific peer review group, followed by secondary review for program relevance by the NIOSH Secondary Review Committee.
