About this opportunity
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seeks applicants for the Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01), a grant providing protected time and supervised career development in occupational health and safety research to support junior investigators' transition from postdoctoral training to independent R01 funding; this is a forecast opportunity with no hard application deadline specified. Applicants must justify their need for mentored research and describe how support will enhance independence. Non-domestic entities and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are ineligible; foreign collaborators and consultants are permitted. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and private higher education institutions; federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations; public and Indian housing authorities; 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits; for-profit organizations; and small businesses. Award amounts, numbers of expected awards, and specific period-of-performance duration are not specified in the forecast notice. Applications undergo two-step review: initial scientific and technical merit evaluation by a peer review group, followed by secondary review by the NIOSH Secondary Review Committee for program relevance, with final approval by the NIOSH Director. Evaluation criteria assess scientific merit and significance, technical adequacy of design, investigator competency, adequacy of facilities and resources, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives. Research institutions and agencies and workers affected by occupational hazards are identified as beneficiaries. This opportunity falls under CFDA 93.262, the Occupational Safety and Health Program.
