Opportunity Summary:
The Agricultural, Forestry and Fishing Safety and Health Research opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 14 175) is a CDC/NIOSH grant program that supports research aimed at preventing work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths in high-risk industries that include agriculture, commercial fishing, and forestry. The intent is to fund applied, public health-oriented studies that can identify hazards, measure risk, and develop or evaluate practical prevention approaches that improve worker safety and health in real-world settings.
NIOSH places particular emphasis on forestry and logging within this announcement, guided by two strategic goals. The first is to reduce the number, rate, and severity of traumatic injuries and fatalities tied to forestry and logging hazards. The second is to improve the overall health and well-being of forestry and logging workers by reducing occupational causes or contributing factors to both acute and chronic illness and disease. Even with that emphasis, the scope is not limited to forestry and logging; proposals connected to occupational safety and health concerns across agriculture, fishing, and forestry are all eligible for consideration, which leaves room for a wide range of topics such as injury prevention, exposure assessment, intervention research, surveillance, or evaluation of training and safety systems, as long as the focus is on worker protection.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial involvement or partnership expectations between the funding agency and the awardee compared with a standard grant. The program is listed under CFDA 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program) and falls under the Health funding activity category. NIOSH anticipated making about five awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $1,200,000. Individual awards could be up to $275,000 (award ceiling), with no stated minimum (award floor of $0), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types that can credibly carry out occupational safety and health research. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities or townships, special district governments, and independent school districts), federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public and Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, and for-profit entities (including those other than small businesses). The eligibility language also indicates that faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, regional organizations, and bona fide agents may apply, suggesting an openness to partnerships and community-connected research capacity.
