Occupational Safety and Health Training Project Grants (T03) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Occupational Safety and Health Training Project Grants (T03) opportunity, listed as PAR 10 288, is a CDC/NIOSH cooperative agreement program designed to build and sustain a strong pipeline of professionals trained to protect worker health and safety. The core purpose is workforce development: NIOSH has a statutory mandate under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to ensure the nation has an adequate supply of qualified occupational safety and health (OSH) personnel, and these Training Project Grants are one of the main tools used to meet that requirement. In practical terms, the program supports structured training activities in occupational safety and health and also supports research training, meaning it can fund programs that prepare individuals both to practice in OSH roles and to contribute to the evidence base that guides workplace hazard prevention.

This opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement generally means the funding agency expects to have substantial involvement with awardees compared with a standard grant, such as participation in programmatic coordination, technical input, or collaborative oversight tied to the training goals and performance expectations. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA listing associated with it is 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program), which is the federal assistance catalog entry commonly used for NIOSH OSH-related programs.

The announcement projected approximately 30 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. The published award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which typically indicates that specific budget limits were not captured in that summary field and that applicants needed to refer to the full announcement for budget guidance, allowable costs, and expectations about scale. Importantly, the opportunity stated there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for institutions that may not have discretionary funds to commit as match.

Eligible applicants are broad and include a mix of higher education institutions and other domestic organizations positioned to deliver occupational safety and health training. Eligible entities include public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, and other for-profit or nonprofit organizations. The eligibility list also includes faith-based and community-based organizations and multiple forms of tribal governments and tribally designated organizations (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized). A key restriction is that foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, so applicants must be U.S.-based entities that can carry out training domestically in alignment with NIOSH objectives.

From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was originally posted on October 13, 2010, with an original closing date of December 17, 2010. The listing shows a later current closing date of August 25, 2014, and an archive date of September 24, 2014, meaning the announcement as presented is no longer active and is retained for historical/reference purposes. Applicants looking for similar current funding would typically search NIOSH training mechanisms and related workforce development notices that succeeded or replaced this specific posting.

For applicants and stakeholders who needed the full details (such as training focus areas, trainee eligibility, curriculum expectations, evaluation metrics, or reporting requirements), the announcement directed readers to the NIH/NIOSH posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-288.html. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact was the CDC Procurements and Grants Office (phone: 770-488-2700; email: pgotim@cdc.gov).
