Opportunity Summary:
The NIOSH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (U13) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 14-229) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means the funded organization should expect more substantial involvement and collaboration with the federal program staff than under a standard grant. The overall aim is to help underwrite high-quality, high-impact scientific conferences and meetings that directly support NIOSH's mission and current program priorities, with a clear connection to public health outcomes for workers.
At its core, this opportunity is designed to move occupational safety and health science forward by convening the right experts, stakeholders, and practitioners in a focused setting. NIOSH's mission is to generate new knowledge in occupational safety and health and, just as importantly, to translate that knowledge into practice to improve conditions for workers. In practical terms, the program prioritizes meetings that do more than share research in isolation; it supports gatherings that help accelerate the development, synthesis, and application of evidence in ways that can influence workplace policies, prevention strategies, training, and real-world interventions. Conferences supported under this mechanism are expected to be scientifically rigorous and relevant to NIOSH priorities, and to demonstrate potential for broad impact, whether by setting research agendas, disseminating findings, building consensus, or strengthening networks that improve occupational health practice.
The program anticipated making about two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. Individual awards were capped at $30,000 (award ceiling), with no stated minimum (award floor of $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds. The activity category is health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.262, the Occupational Safety and Health Program.
Eligibility is relatively broad and includes a wide range of organizations that might sponsor or organize scientifically credible meetings. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, special district governments, small businesses, and various nonprofit entities including those with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the note that some categories exclude institutions of higher education depending on the designation). The opportunity also lists public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Additional eligibility language indicates that faith-based and community-based organizations may apply, as can regional organizations, established scientific or research societies, and bona fide agents. Taken together, this suggests NIOSH intended the program to be accessible to the types of organizations that commonly convene professional and scientific meetings, including membership societies and convening bodies with demonstrated capacity to run conferences.
Key administrative dates indicate the opportunity was posted June 4, 2014, created June 11, 2014, and originally closed December 13, 2016, with a later listed closing date of September 8, 2019. The archive date is October 8, 2019, meaning it is no longer active for new submissions under that announcement, but it remains useful as a reference for understanding the structure and expectations of NIOSH conference support.
