About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health seeks applicants for Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01) grants, with no application deadline specified in this forecast. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, state and local governments, tribal organizations, higher education institutions (public and private), small businesses, for-profit organizations, and special district governments. Non-domestic entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not eligible.
The R01 program supports discrete, specified research projects that improve understanding of occupational disease and injury risks, identify methods to reduce workplace hazards, and translate findings into practical prevention strategies and interventions. Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health problem addressed and explain how proposed activities will yield outputs addressing that problem, with clear description of expected impacts during and beyond the project period.
Research grants typically span one to five years. Evaluation criteria assess scientific merit and significance, technical adequacy of experimental design, investigator competency, facility and resource adequacy, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives. Award decisions follow a two-step review: initial scientific and technical merit review by a peer review group, then secondary review by the NIOSH Secondary Review Committee for program relevance, with final approval by the NIOSH Director.
The program operates under CFDA 93.262. Recent awards in the occupational safety and health portfolio have ranged from $300 thousand to $34.8 million over two to five years, supporting research across diverse hazards including hearing loss, ergonomic assessment, heat stress, mental health, reproductive health, occupational asthma, commercial fishing safety, mine evacuation technologies, and personal protective equipment innovation. Project Grants represent 79 percent of awards in the broader program portfolio.
Forecast synopsis
The purpose of the R01 grant program is to (1) improve understanding of the risks and conditions associated with occupational diseases and injuries, (2) identify and evaluate methods to reduce risks and prevent or minimize exposure to hazardous workplace conditions, and (3) translate scientific findings into practical prevention strategies, interventions, and products that reduce work-related illnesses and injuries. The Research Project Grant (R01) supports a discrete, specified research project in scientific areas that reflect the investigator's expertise and interests and that align with the mission of NIOSH. Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health problem their proposal addresses and explain how the proposed research activities will lead to outputs that help address this problem. Applicants should clearly describe the expected impacts of the proposed research, both during the project period and beyond.
Eligibility
Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are not eligible to apply. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.Foreign components, as defined in the HHS Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed.
