About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is soliciting applications for conferences and scientific meetings that advance occupational safety and health research and align with NIOSH mission priorities; this is a forecast announcement with no stated application deadline.
Eligible applicants include state and local governments, federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, for-profit organizations, and special district governments. Non-domestic entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are ineligible. Applications for training-only events will not be considered.
The program supports in-person or virtual conferences, symposia, seminars, workshops, and other organized gatherings where participants coordinate, exchange, and share information on occupational safety and health topics. Applications must address and advance research topics aligned with NIOSH program priorities relevant to preventing work-related injury, illness, and hazardous exposures.
The source does not specify award ceilings, award floors, expected number of awards, or cost-share requirements. Project periods typically range from one to five years depending on scientific review group recommendations and demonstrated performance. The program uses a two-step review process: initial scientific and technical merit evaluation by a peer review group, followed by secondary review for program relevance by the NIOSH Secondary Review Committee, with final approval by the NIOSH Director. Evaluation criteria emphasize scientific significance, technical adequacy, investigator competency, facility adequacy, budget justification, and relevance to NIOSH objectives.
The program is assigned CFDA 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program).
