Opportunity Summary:
NIOSH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13) is a CDC funding opportunity designed to help pay for well planned scientific conferences and meetings that line up clearly with the mission of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and that matter to public health. The program is meant to strengthen the occupational safety and health field by supporting events where researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders can come together to share findings, compare methods, discuss emerging hazards, and identify gaps that still need research or better prevention approaches. In practice, this grant is aimed at helping organizers deliver high quality, mission relevant meetings that move the science and its real world application forward.
The announcement uses a broad definition of what counts as a conference or scientific meeting. It can be a symposium, seminar, workshop, scientific meeting, or other organized formal gathering. Importantly, the meeting format can be in person or virtual, as long as it is structured and intended to coordinate, exchange, and disseminate information or to explore and clarify a defined subject area. The emphasis is not just on presenting completed research, but also on helping groups work through defined problems, refine prevention or intervention strategies, and discuss policy issues connected to worker health and safety. This makes it a good fit for topic focused meetings that are designed to produce clearer consensus, practical recommendations, or a stronger shared research agenda.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary cooperative agreement, under a health activity category, with CFDA number 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program). The expected number of awards is six. The estimated total funding amount shown is $20,000, and the award ceiling is also $20,000, with an award floor of $0, meaning requests could range up to $20,000 depending on the event scope and allowable costs. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants are not required to contribute matching funds to be eligible.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly host conferences. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; small businesses; for profit organizations other than small businesses; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those particular nonprofit categories); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The eligibility notes also point to additional categories such as faith based or community based organizations, regional organizations, established scientific or research societies, bona fide agents, and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs). In other words, the program is structured so that many different credible conveners, not only universities, can apply if they can demonstrate the meeting will serve NIOSH priorities and produce meaningful public health value.
Key administrative details in the listing include the funding opportunity number PAR 14 246 and the title NIOSH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13). The opportunity was posted June 10, 2014, created June 11, 2014, with an original closing date of December 13, 2015, and a later current closing date of September 8, 2019. The archive date is October 8, 2019, indicating the announcement is no longer active, but it still serves as a reference point for how NIOSH structured this conference support mechanism during that period. The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guidance page associated with PAR 14 246.
For applicants or organizations trying to understand what the agency expects, the core message is that NIOSH wanted to fund conferences that are clearly tied to occupational safety and health and that are designed to do more than simply convene people. The strongest fit would typically involve a focused topic, an audience that can act on the information shared, and an agenda built around exchanging evidence, surfacing knowledge gaps, improving prevention or intervention approaches, and discussing policy or practice implications. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), at 770-488-2700.
