Description
The
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), intends to publish a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) for NIOSH Centers of Excellence for Total Worker Health.The purpose of this NOFO is to support Centers of
Excellence for TWH to develop and conduct multidisciplinary research,
intervention, outreach and education, and evaluation activities that will
advance the overall safety, health, and well-being of the diverse population of
workers in our nation. Center structure should take advantage of diverse
scientific resources and focus on local, regional, and/or national worker
safety and health issues. Centers should place emphasis on the creation and
implementation of evidence-based solutions that address evolving challenges and
opportunities related to worker safety, health, and well-being. Collaborations
with other academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and other
occupational safety and health focused groups are expected. Applicants must
concisely describe the occupational health burden within their service area and
directly link research and outreach activities to help alleviate the burden.
Applicants should also clearly articulate the anticipated impacts of the
proposed work, both during the project period and beyond.
Note:
TWH High Priority Topic Areas: To address evolving challenges and opportunities
related to worker safety, health, and well-being, the TWH program highlights
critical priority areas and emerging issues currently relevant to advancing
worker well-being. These are the program’s latest research interests and needs.
