Opportunity Summary:
The Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 13-129) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under CFDA 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program). It supports investigator-driven research using the NIH R01 mechanism, with the overarching aim of strengthening the scientific evidence base around workplace injuries and illnesses. At its core, the program is designed to fund studies that (1) build a clearer understanding of the risks, exposures, and conditions that lead to occupational disease and injury, (2) develop and test methods to reduce those risks and prevent or minimize hazardous workplace exposures, and (3) translate important findings into practical prevention approaches, tools, or products that can measurably reduce work-related harm.
The program’s scope is broad and centers on occupational safety and health as a research area rather than a single industry, hazard, or disease category. Competitive applications are generally expected to go beyond describing problems and instead produce actionable knowledge, such as identifying causal pathways, quantifying exposure-response relationships, evaluating intervention effectiveness, or demonstrating implementation strategies that can be adopted in real workplaces. A major theme is translation: turning scientific results into prevention practices and products that can be used by employers, workers, safety professionals, and public health partners to reduce injuries, illnesses, and hazardous exposures. Projects may include developing new measurement methods, validating preventive technologies, designing and testing training or engineering controls, improving protective strategies, or building evidence to guide policies and best practices, as long as the work is tightly tied to preventing occupational injury and disease.
Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $400,000, with an award ceiling of $400,000 and no stated award floor (listed as $0). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which can lower barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to support the work. The original posting date was April 5, 2013, and while the original closing date is listed as June 5, 2013, the opportunity remained open through a current closing date of March 5, 2018, with an archive date of June 5, 2018. In practical terms, those dates indicate this particular announcement is archived and no longer accepting applications, but the summary still reflects how the program was structured and the types of projects it sought to fund under this R01 research mechanism.
Eligibility is intentionally expansive and includes a wide range of organization types. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education (and the program explicitly encourages applications from institutions that are historically underrepresented in federal research funding, such as Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and AANAPISIs). Eligibility also extends to nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district, and tribal governments, including both federally recognized and other tribal governments). Additional eligible entities include independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs). Notably, non-U.S. entities are eligible: foreign institutions may apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also eligible, signaling that the sponsor recognized the global and cross-border nature of occupational hazards, research expertise, and supply-chain related workplace risks.
Administrative and logistical details point applicants to the full announcement via an NIH grants guide link and provide a contact for access issues through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), with a phone number for assistance. Overall, this opportunity was built to fund rigorous, prevention-oriented occupational safety and health research with clear public health relevance, with broad eligibility intended to draw in universities, government agencies, nonprofits, and industry partners capable of conducting high-impact studies and moving results into real-world prevention practice.
