Centers of Excellence to Promote a Healthier Workforce (U19)
RFA-OH-11-001

Program Description:

NIOSH seeks to fund research that has the greatest potential to impact public health and, thereby, to reduce the burden on the health of the workforce population.
This program invites applications from single institutions or consortia of institutions to establish a Center of Excellence to Promote a Healthier Workforce that will conduct trans-disciplinary research, education and translation programs to facilitate the integration of health protection and health promotion programs in the workplace.

An applicant may request a budget for total costs of up to $1.3 million per year. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed five years for existing Centers and three years for new Centers.

UIC is restricted to one application.
