About this opportunity

This SBIR funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to develop technology-enhanced training products for the health and safety training of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) workers, waste treatment personnel, emergency responders, and worker resiliency training. The key objective is to prevent work-related harm by training workers to protect themselves and their communities from hazardous materials exposure. Eligible applicant types are small businesses, and the funding comes directly from the NIEHS Worker Education and Training Branch SBIR funds. The RFA does not provide specifics on award dates, values, or response deadlines.

The financial support for this initiative comes from the NIEHS Hazardous Waste Worker Health and Safety Training program (CFDA 93.142). While the RFA does not specify award values or budget ranges, the funding opportunity is intended to support the development of technology-enhanced training products that complement the goals and objectives of the NIEHS Worker Training Program. The place of performance is not explicitly stated.

Synopsis

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose to further the development of Technology-Enhanced Training Products for the health and safety training of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) workers; waste treatment personnel; skilled support personnel associated with an emergency/disaster; emergency responders in biological hazard response, infectious disease response, and medical waste cleanup; emergency responders in disasters; and worker resiliency training. Technology-enhanced training products as defined by the Worker Training Program (WTP) include, but are not limited to, supporting training through various venues such as online training, mobile device training, virtual reality, and serious gaming. These advanced technologies complement all phases of training that can enhance, supplement, improve, and provide health and safety training for hazardous materials workers. These products must complement the goals and objectives of the WTP. The major objective of the NIEHS WTP is to prevent work related harm by training workers in how best to protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials. The financial support for this initiative comes directly from NIEHS Worker Education and Training Branch SBIR funds.
