Funding-Limited Submission – CDC – Workers’ Compensation Surveillance (RFA-OH-14-007); May 6, 2014

Purpose: The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to compile, analyze, and disseminate workers’ compensation (WC) data to promote the prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, fatalities, and exposures to hazards within the states and throughout the nation. The WC Surveillance Cooperative Agreements are intended to provide state health and state WC agencies and other eligible organizations and businesses the resources to initiate or expand state-based WC surveillance and intervention activities.

Amount: An applicant state may request up to $200,000 in total costs (direct and indirect) per 12-month budget period with the estimated total funding for the entire project period up to $600,000. The project period will be for three consecutive years beginning with a project period start date of June 1, 2015.

Institutional Limit: Only one application per institution (normally identified by having a unique DUNS number) is allowed.

Internal Competition: Because CDC limits the number of applications that can be submitted, the University of Kentucky has established an internal selection process. Researchers interested in applying are to submit the following material electronically to the Office of the Vice President for Research at limitedsubmissions@uky.edu and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Tuesday, May 6, 2014:

Names and departments or affiliations of the Project Director and other key personnel or partners;
Title of program and/or funding opportunity announcement number;
Brief overview of the proposed project to include objectives, significance, and activities. (1-2 pages maximum)

A committee will be convened to review the material and make a recommendation. 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.)
