Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01)

The purpose of the R01 grant program is to improve understanding of the risks and conditions associated with occupational diseases and injuries, identify and evaluate methods to reduce risks and prevent or minimize exposure to hazardous workplace conditions, and translate scientific findings into practical prevention strategies, interventions, and products that reduce work-related illnesses and injuries. The Research Project Grant (R01) supports a discrete, specified research project in scientific areas that reflect the investigator's expertise and interests and that align with the mission of NIOSH. • The grant program aims to address occupational health problems and reduce work-related illnesses and injuries. • Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health problem their proposal addresses and explain how the proposed research activities will lead to outputs that help address this problem. • The expected impacts of the proposed research, both during the project period and beyond, should be clearly described. • The grant program supports research projects that align with the mission of NIOSH.
