Opportunity Summary:
The Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-10-188) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under CFDA 93.262, the Occupational Safety and Health Program. Its central aim is to support research that strengthens the scientific understanding of workplace hazards and the real-world conditions that contribute to occupational injuries and diseases. The program is designed to move beyond simply describing problems by also encouraging practical research on how risks can be reduced, exposures can be prevented or minimized, and evidence-based findings can be translated into prevention practices, tools, and products that measurably reduce work-related harm.
At its core, this FOA emphasizes the full pathway from identifying and characterizing occupational risks to developing and evaluating interventions. That can include research that clarifies which job tasks, environments, materials, or organizational factors are linked to injury and illness; studies that improve methods for measuring exposures or detecting early health effects; and work that tests strategies for reducing hazards through engineering controls, administrative changes, training approaches, protective technologies, or other prevention-oriented solutions. A notable feature of the announcement is its explicit interest in translation, meaning it prioritizes taking significant scientific findings and turning them into usable prevention practices or products that employers, workers, and safety professionals can implement to reduce incidence and severity of workplace injuries and diseases.
Eligibility is broad and inclusive, covering a wide range of potential applicants that can contribute to occupational safety and health research. Eligible organizations include public and private nonprofit entities, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a variety of governmental entities. It also allows applications from federally or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, Urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and state and local governments (including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement). Foreign (non-U.S.) entities are also eligible, which expands opportunities for international organizations with relevant expertise or workplace settings. The announcement also provides a mechanism for a "Bona Fide Agent" to apply on behalf of a state or local government, but requires documentation: applicants using this route must include a letter from the relevant government confirming the agent status, uploaded in the application package under the specified "Other Attachments" area.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is an R01 research project grant, a common mechanism used for investigator-initiated research projects with clearly defined objectives and a structured research plan. The posted date for the opportunity was May 6, 2010, with creation on May 10, 2010. The original closing date and the current closing date listed are both May 8, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on June 7, 2013. The source data provided lists estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor as 0, which typically indicates that the dollar amounts were not specified in the summary record and that applicants needed to consult the full FOA text for detailed budget guidance and any institute- or program-specific funding expectations.
