Opportunity Summary:
The NIOSH Small Research Grant Program (R03) is a discretionary grant funding opportunity administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Procurement and Grants Office, supporting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) mission. Its overall aim is to fund small, focused research projects that strengthen the evidence base around occupational safety and health. Specifically, the program is designed to (1) build a clearer understanding of the risks, exposures, and workplace conditions that contribute to occupational diseases and injuries, (2) test or explore practical methods for reducing those risks, including approaches that prevent or minimize exposure to hazardous conditions, and (3) move important scientific findings into real-world prevention practices, tools, or products that can measurably reduce work-related illness and injury.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number PAR 09-138 and falls under the Health funding activity category, with CFDA 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program). The award structure reflects the “small grant” intent of the R03 mechanism. The maximum (ceiling) award amount is stated as $50,000, while the total funding level and the number of awards are described as variable, with an expected number of awards of 10. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of academic, governmental, nonprofit, and private-sector entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education and several categories of minority-serving institutions (such as Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions). Nonprofit organizations may apply whether or not they have 501(c)(3) status, and both small businesses and other for-profit organizations are included as eligible. Government applicants may include state governments, county and city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and U.S. territories or possessions, as well as tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized) and tribally designated organizations. The eligibility list also explicitly includes regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and faith-based or community-based organizations, indicating the program is intended to reach many types of partners capable of contributing to occupational safety and health research and translation.
Key administrative details in the source listing indicate the opportunity was posted on April 13, 2009, with an original and current closing date shown as September 8, 2012, and an archive date of October 8, 2012. Those dates suggest this specific listing reflects a particular cycle that has since closed, although the program itself may recur under updated announcements. The announcement notes that estimated funding dates vary, which is typical for grant programs where award timing can depend on review cycles, availability of funds, and administrative processing.
For applicants or organizations seeking the official requirements, application instructions, and program-specific priorities, the full announcement is available through Grants.gov and is also linked through the NIH grants policy/guide page referenced in the listing (PAR 09-138).
