Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OH 19 001
The National Center for Construction Safety and Health Research and Translation funding opportunity (RFA OH 19 001) is a federal discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NIOSH expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, participating in planning, coordination, and alignment of center activities with national priorities), rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The goal is to support a single, nationally focused Center that can serve as a hub for construction safety and health work in the United States, bringing together research, practical solutions, and real-world implementation so that protective measures actually reach jobsites and reduce injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
At its core, NIOSH is looking for an applicant that can lead and coordinate a trans-disciplinary program of applied and intervention research aimed at construction hazards. That includes identifying and characterizing hazards in construction work, developing and evaluating controls, and testing prevention and intervention strategies that can be adopted broadly. The emphasis is not just on generating new knowledge, but on producing actionable findings and tools that improve worker protection. The Center is expected to function as a national leader that connects research to practice, meaning it should actively translate evidence into usable guidance, best practices, training approaches, and implementation strategies that employers, workers, unions, safety professionals, manufacturers, and policymakers can realistically use.
A major theme in the opportunity is coordination and partnership. The applicant is encouraged to build strong collaborations with stakeholders who can help implement prevention and intervention activities at scale, such as construction firms, trade associations, labor organizations, apprenticeship and training programs, equipment and tool manufacturers, insurers, and public sector partners. NIOSH is signaling that impact will be measured not only by research outputs, but also by adoption and sustained use of solutions in the field. The Center is expected to integrate and advance multiple elements of construction safety and health work at once: research to develop evidence, translation to convert that evidence into practical products, policy and guidance to support broader uptake, and capacity building to strengthen the workforce and institutions needed to maintain progress over time.
Funding for this opportunity has an award ceiling of $5,750,000, with an expected total of one award, indicating NIOSH intends to concentrate resources into a single Center rather than split funding across multiple recipients. The activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.262 (NIOSH occupational safety and health research and related activities). The original posting date was September 28, 2018, and the original application due date was December 3, 2018, with electronically submitted applications due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline. While those dates reflect the original competition timeline, the summary of intent remains useful for understanding what NIOSH was seeking: a national-level entity capable of setting direction, coordinating partners, and moving research into widespread practice in the construction sector.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could plausibly operate a national center, such as state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. In other words, NIOSH opened the door to universities, research institutes, nonprofits, government entities, and qualified private-sector groups, as long as they can credibly organize and lead a national construction safety and health research-and-translation enterprise. The unifying expectation across eligible applicants is the capacity to run a coordinated, high-impact program that produces practical interventions, builds partnerships for implementation, and acts as a visible national leader in construction research-to-practice.Apply for RFA OH 19 001
