Internal Competition Completed
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Lorraine M. Conroy, Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, SPH
Program Summary
NIOSH is interested in receiving Center (U50) cooperative agreement applications that address the etiology and prevention of injuries resulting from production agriculture/forestry/fishing. The purpose of this cooperative agreement program is to strengthen the occupational and public health infrastructure by building on more than a decade of Agricultural Center accomplishments aimed at integrating resources for occupational safety and health research and public health prevention programs at the State and local levels. Applications should address the risks from agriculture activities through research, prevention/intervention, and education projects that as a whole address problems in a synergistic manner resulting in a measurable impact on agriculture related injuries and diseases. Centers activities should be designed to integrate research, education, and prevention projects that address unique problems of agriculture in the geographic region served as well as nationally.
The total amount to be awarded for this program is approximately $7.5 million annually, and NIOSH anticipates making 7 to 9 awards. It is anticipated that the duration of each award will be five years. Maximum allowable direct costs will be $1.2 million per year. NIOSH will not accept applications requesting greater than $1.2 million in direct costs
UIC is restricted to one application.
