Funding-Limited
Submission - NIOSH Occupational Safety and Health Education and Research
Centers; July 22,
2010
The National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention invites grant applications for Education and Research
Centers (ERC) that are focused on occupational safety and health training and
research training. ERCs are academic institutions that provide
interdisciplinary graduate training and continuing education in the core
occupational safety and health areas of 1) occupational medicine residency
(OMR), 2) occupational health nursing (OHN), 3) industrial hygiene (IH), and 4)
occupational safety (OS), and other fields closely related to occupational
safety and health.
An ERC may provide
training in as many core or allied program areas as
resources allow; however, it must be demonstrated that students will be exposed
to the principles and issues in all four core disciplines. See the
complete program announcement for details on the specific requirements: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-217.html
Because the sponsor
limits an institution to one application, UK has established an internal
selection process and a deadline. Researchers wanting to submit an
Education and Research Center proposal to NIOSH are to send a pre-proposal
electronically to the Office of the Vice President for Research at vpr@email.uky.eduv and a copy to their
Associate Dean for Research by Thursday, July 22, 2010. The
application should include the following information:
1.
Names and departments
of the Project Director and key personnel
2.
Brief description of
the proposed Occupational Safety and Health ERC including training in core
programs and outreach activities (2-3 pages)
The Vice President
for Research will appoint a committee to review the material and make recommendations as to the University’s applicant. The
next NIH deadline is September 10, 2010. Questions about the submission
process may be sent to Ms. Annette Evans in the Office of the Vice President for
Research (alevan4@email.uky.edu or
257-1663.)
