Opportunity Summary:
The Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01), identified as funding opportunity number PAR 10 132, is a discretionary grant program offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Its main focus is workforce development in occupational health and safety research: the program is designed to build and sustain a strong pipeline of well-trained scientists who can address workplace health and safety challenges and, over time, become independent investigators and leaders in the field. In practical terms, the K01 is meant to support early-stage occupational health and safety researchers and educators by pairing them with structured, high-quality mentorship while they deepen their research skills and establish a trajectory toward independence.
A defining feature of this award is the emphasis on a concentrated career development experience supported by substantial protected time. The opportunity specifically provides support for 75 percent protected time, meaning the award is structured so that the recipient can devote the majority of their professional effort to intensive, supervised career development activities and research, rather than being pulled primarily into unrelated duties. The overarching purpose is to create the conditions for a focused research and training period that strengthens methodological expertise, supports publication and professional growth, and positions the awardee to compete successfully for independent research funding in occupational health and safety.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the health funding activity category. The CFDA listing associated with it is 93.262, Occupational Safety and Health Program. The program anticipated up to 50 awards and listed an estimated total funding amount of 100,000, with an award ceiling of 100,000 and an award floor of 0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad on the institutional side, covering many types of domestic organizations that can serve as applicant institutions. Eligible applicants include for-profit and non-profit organizations; public or private institutions such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of state and local government; eligible federal institutions; faith-based or community-based organizations; and federally recognized tribal governments as well as other tribal governments and tribally designated organizations. A key restriction is that foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, so the applicant organization must be domestic.
Key dates in the announcement indicate the program was released on March 11, 2010, with an opening date of April 1, 2010 (the earliest date applications could be submitted through Grants.gov). The original closing date is listed as May 8, 2010, and the current closing date as May 8, 2013, with an archive date of June 29, 2013. The posting date is July 29, 2010, and the creation date is March 11, 2011, reflecting the way federal listings can be updated and maintained over time even after the initial release.
