Opportunity Summary:
The Working Conditions and Health Survey in Central America opportunity is a U.S. Department of Labor effort, led by the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), focused on generating reliable, nationally representative evidence about how people work and how work affects health across Central American countries. The notice is labeled as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it signals the government s plan to fund a specific project rather than opening a broad competitive grant competition. The purpose is to measure the prevalence and characteristics of working conditions, document work related health issues, and explore potential links between workplace exposures and health outcomes using a structured research design.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically involves substantial federal involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. ILAB indicates an intent to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $600,000. The anticipated recipient named in the notice is the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Public Health, reflecting that the project is expected to be carried out by that institution rather than soliciting proposals from the general public. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, tied to CFDA 17.401, and was posted on April 27, 2016 with a closing date of May 14, 2016.
In terms of project activities, the work centers on implementing a nationally representative survey using an existing proprietary survey instrument that has already been tested and used in Central America. This suggests the project emphasizes methodological consistency and comparability, building on a proven tool rather than creating a new questionnaire from scratch. Alongside the quantitative survey, the project also includes in field qualitative research, which typically means interviews, focus groups, or structured observations designed to add context and interpretive depth to the numerical findings. Finally, the project includes analysis, report preparation, and dissemination, indicating that producing public facing deliverables and making the findings accessible to stakeholders is a core requirement, not an afterthought.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to produce rigorous baseline data on working conditions and occupational health in Central America, combining statistically representative measurement with qualitative insights, and translating the collected evidence into reports that can inform policy discussions, program design, and future research related to labor conditions and worker health in the region.
