About this opportunity
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) World Trade Center Health Program is soliciting applications for a Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award (K01) supporting early-career investigators in research focused on populations affected by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks; this is a forecast with no posted application deadline.
Eligible applicants include state, county, city, and tribal governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status; small businesses; for-profit organizations; independent school districts; and public housing authorities. Non-domestic entities, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations, and foreign collaborators or consultants are not eligible.
The award provides up to three years of mentored research and career development support, with at least 75 percent protected time for the investigator. Research must address physical and mental health effects associated with 9/11 exposures, diagnostic or treatment uncertainty, emerging health concerns, aging among exposed populations, or improvements in clinical care and public health practice. Epidemiologic, clinical, translational, preclinical, health services, health outcomes, diagnostic, treatment, prevention, quality-of-life, and implementation research are responsive. Generalizability to other populations is not required. The program prioritizes translation of scientific findings into improved care and public health practice and development of the next generation of investigators addressing 9/11-related health needs.
Awards are reviewed through a two-step process: initial scientific and technical merit review by a peer review group, followed by program relevance assessment by the NIOSH Secondary Review Committee. Evaluation emphasizes scientific merit, experimental design, investigator competency, adequacy of facilities and resources, budget justification, and relevance to program objectives.
The opportunity is funded under CFDA 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program).
Forecast synopsis
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program K01 Award supports early-career investigators in developing independent research careers focused on improving the health and well-being of populations affected by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11). This award provides up to three years of mentored research and career development support, including at least 75 percent protected time. The program supports research that improves understanding of physical and mental health effects associated with 9/11 exposures, addresses diagnostic or treatment uncertainty, identifies emerging health concerns, examines aging among exposed populations, and informs improvements in clinical care, public health practice, and long-term health outcomes. Research that helps translate scientific findings into improved care and public health practice is encouraged. Responsive research may include epidemiologic, clinical, translational, preclinical, health services, health outcomes, diagnostic, treatment, prevention, quality-of-life, and implementation research. Generalizability to other populations is not required. The award also supports the development of the next generation of investigators needed to address health needs related to 9/11 exposure. More information, including the WTC Health Program Research Agenda and previously funded projects, is available at: https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/researchagenda.html and https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/fundingdashboard.html.
