Opportunity Summary:
The Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 07-318) is a discretionary research grant program administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Procurement and Grants Office. It supports investigator-initiated occupational safety and health studies using the R01 mechanism, with the overall aim of strengthening the scientific base that protects workers from job-related illness, injury, and hazardous exposures. The program sits within the Occupational Safety and Health Program (CFDA 93.262) and is intended to fund research that not only explains what causes harm in workplaces, but also produces practical, evidence-based ways to prevent that harm.
The core purpose of the program is threefold. First, it funds research that improves understanding of the risks, workplace conditions, and exposure scenarios linked to occupational diseases and injuries. This can include studying specific hazards (chemical, physical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial), identifying vulnerable worker populations, clarifying mechanisms of injury or disease, and documenting how work organization or environment contributes to adverse outcomes. Second, it supports the exploration and testing of methods to reduce risk by preventing, controlling, or minimizing exposure to hazardous conditions. That emphasis points to intervention-oriented science, such as evaluating engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective technologies, training approaches, surveillance and monitoring strategies, or other prevention systems that can be implemented in real workplaces. Third, it emphasizes translating significant scientific findings into prevention practices and products, meaning the program values research that bridges the gap between discovery and real-world use, resulting in tools, guidance, technologies, or implementation strategies that demonstrably reduce work-related illness and injury.
In terms of funding parameters, the listed award ceiling is $250,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants who may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. The announcement notes that estimated funding dates vary, signaling that award timing can depend on submission cycles, review timelines, and available appropriations. While the opportunity described here is archived, the details capture the structure and intent of the program and point applicants to the full announcement for complete requirements and expectations.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that can carry out occupational safety and health research. Eligible applicants include private and public institutions of higher education; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (including nonprofits other than institutions of higher education); and a wide range of government entities, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and other public-sector bodies. This wide eligibility reflects the reality that occupational health research often requires partnerships across universities, industry, labor, and government, and that valuable workplace research questions arise in many institutional settings.
Key administrative details provided for this specific listing include a posted date of February 11, 2009, with an original and current closing date of March 6, 2010, and an archive date of March 15, 2010.
