About this opportunity
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites grant applications for Education and Research Centers (ERCs) focused on occupational safety and health training, with applications due October 26, 2028. ERCs are academic institutions providing high-quality interdisciplinary graduate and post-graduate training, research training, continuing education, and outreach in industrial hygiene, occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, occupational safety, and allied disciplines. Only one NIOSH training grant application per institution is allowed, and currently awarded NIOSH T03 training grant recipients are ineligible for this award or as sub-awardees.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), small businesses, for-profit organizations, state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal organizations), and special district governments. NIOSH anticipates funding up to 18 awards totaling approximately $32 million per year. Awards are limited to $1.8 million per year in total costs. New applicants must apply for three years of support; renewal applications request five years.
Research and research training are integral components of ERCs, with faculty and NIOSH trainees conducting research on issues related to the NIOSH National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) and emerging occupational safety and health issues. ERCs maintain regional presence to diversify the occupational safety and health profession and serve as workforce resources through continuing education, outreach, and collaboration with professional associations, worker advocacy groups, businesses, industries, and public health agencies. ERCs are expected to work with Minority Serving Institutions and other NIOSH-supported training programs. The opportunity is funded under CFDA 93.262, Occupational Safety and Health Program.
Synopsis
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites grant applications for Education and Research Centers (ERCs) that are focused on occupational safety and health training. NIOSH is mandated to provide an adequate supply of qualified personnel to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the ERCs are one of the primary means for meeting this mandate. ERCs are academic institutions that provide high-quality interdisciplinary graduate and post-graduate training, research training, continuing education, and outreach in the core occupational safety and health disciplines of industrial hygiene, occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, and occupational safety, as well as allied disciplines. Research and research training are integral components of ERCs, with ERC faculty and NIOSH trainees conducting research on issues related to the NIOSH National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) and emerging issues to advance the field of occupational safety and health. NIOSH ERCs have regional presence to further diversify the occupational safety and health profession through their core values, mission statements, and outputs. ERCs serve as resources for our nation's workforce through continuing education, outreach and strong collaboration with professional associations, worker advocacy groups, businesses, industries, and public health agencies. ERCs work with other institutions and organizations, including Minority Serving Institutions and other NIOSH supported training programs to have a positive impact on worker health, safety, and well-being.
Eligibility
Only one NIOSH training grant application per institution, college or university is allowed. A currently recipient of the NIOSH T03 "Occupational Safety and Health Training Project Grants" award is not eligible for an award or a sub-award under this Notice of Funding Opportunity.
