K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award

The K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award is a grant program funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The purpose of this grant is to provide support and dedicated time for a supervised (mentored) career development experience in occupational safety and health research, leading to research independence. The goal is to help ensure the availability of adequate numbers of highly trained scientists and educators to address critical issues in occupational safety and health. Eligible applicant types include city/township governments, county governments, tribal organizations, school districts, nonprofits, higher education institutions, and small businesses, among others. The grant opportunity has a posted date of May 24, 2018 and a due date of November 21, 2025.

The Federal Grant Program under which this opportunity is assigned is the Occupational Safety and Health Program (CFDA 93.262), which typically provides awards ranging from approximately $150,000 to $6 million over 1-5 years. Recent awards under this program have focused on identifying and addressing occupational hazards, developing new protective equipment, evaluating interventions, and providing education and training. The work is expected to be performed at the recipient institutions across the United States.
