Opportunity Summary:
The State Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program (SSP) is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement opportunity focused on strengthening and expanding occupational health (OH) surveillance at the state, territorial, tribal, and local levels. In this announcement, occupational health and safety surveillance is defined broadly as the systematic identification, collection, analysis, and tracking of information about work-related injuries, illnesses, hazards, and exposures. The core idea is to help jurisdictions build and use surveillance systems that can spot problems early, measure how worker health risks change over time, and translate findings into practical prevention recommendations and interventions.
The program emphasizes both population or group-based surveillance (for example, tracking injury or illness rates across industries, occupations, or regions) and case-based approaches (for example, investigating specific incidents, clusters, or sentinel cases that may signal an emerging hazard). Activities supported under SSP are intended to help recipients identify state or jurisdictional priorities, guide efforts that improve and protect worker safety and health, monitor statistical and other trends, document progress over time, and develop evidence-informed prevention and intervention recommendations that can be used by public health agencies, labor and industry partners, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
This opportunity was released as Funding Opportunity Number PAR 14 275, titled "State Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program (SSP)." It is a discretionary grant program using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement beyond routine grant oversight, often through technical assistance, collaboration on surveillance methods, and alignment with national occupational health surveillance priorities. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.262 (Occupational Safety and Health Program).
The announcement anticipated up to 25 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $32,500,000 across the program. The listed award ceiling is $140,000, and the award floor is $0, indicating that award sizes could vary and that no minimum award amount is guaranteed. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad across governmental and certain affiliated entities. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, U.S. territories or possessions, and Native American tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized), as well as certain Native American tribal organizations. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education may apply, and nonprofit institutions may be eligible in some cases. The announcement also allows applications from bona fide agents, meaning an agency or organization designated by a state or local government to apply on its behalf instead of the government applying directly. Applicants applying as a bona fide agent must provide a legal, binding agreement from the relevant state or local government documenting that status, typically submitted as an attachment in the application package.
Key dates included a posted date of July 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2016, and an archive date of September 28, 2016, indicating the opportunity is no longer active. The originating agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The full announcement was referenced through the NIH grants guide page link provided in the source.
