Small Grants in Occupational Safety and Health Research
This Program Announcement (PA) redefines the NIOSH Small Grant (R03) mechanism, and it supersedes all previous announcements of this grant program.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) invites small grant applications for research related to occupational safety and health. NIOSH research programs support priority areas identified in the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) and other significant programs related to occupational safety and health. The overall purpose of this grants program is to develop knowledge that can be used in preventing occupational diseases and injuries, and to understand better their underlying pathophysiology. The intent of the R03 award is to support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. The characteristics, requirements, preparation and review criteria for the small grant application are described in this document. This award may not be used for thesis, dissertation, or postdoctoral research.
