Purpose
The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
intends to publish a funding opportunity announcement for Centers of Excellence
in Agricultural Disease and Injury Research, Education, and Prevention.
These centers represent a major effort to
protect the safety and health of workers in the Agriculture, Forestry, and
Fishing Sector. They conduct high quality research, help translate scientific
discoveries into practical applications to improve worker safety and health,
and address regional and national needs in agricultural health and safety.
Centers are expected to have a high caliber of scientific and technical
competency, and provide regional/national leadership in developing and
delivering relevant interventions to improve occupational safety and health in
this sector.
This Notice is being provided to allow
potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and
responsive projects.
The FOA is expected to be published in {July 2015} with an expected application
due date in {November 2015}.
This FOA will utilize the {U54} activity code. Important aspects of the planned
FOA are provided in the next section.
Center Cores and Components
The following three functional core areas are
being considered: a) Planning and Evaluation, b) Research, and c) Outreach.
Components of these core areas are outlined below.
Planning and Evaluation Core Components
NIOSH intends to streamline evaluation
requirements by using a program planning and evaluation logic model framework.
Research Core Components
Research project proposals must clearly identify
and address: occupational burden estimates, the need for the proposed work, and
the potential for impacts.
Outreach
Core
Outreach may involve a variety of activities including, but not limited to, i)
development and dissemination of communication products on specific issues or
worker populations, ii) educational or training materials for workers,
managers, or others at risk from hazards in the occupational environments found
in this sector, and iii) other efforts toward evidence-based prevention activities
to protect and improve occupational safety and health in this sector.
