Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OH 22 002
The NIOSH Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health (Ag Centers) funding opportunity (RFA OH 22 002) is a CDC/NIOSH cooperative agreement designed to support regional centers that improve the safety and health of workers in agriculture, forestry, and fishing. Through this program, NIOSH is looking to fund centers that can do strong, practical research and then translate what they learn into guidance, tools, and other products that fit the needs of real-world audiences, such as farmers, workers, employers, trainers, clinicians, and community organizations. The overall goal is not just to publish findings, but to reduce injuries, illnesses, and other occupational harms by generating evidence-based solutions and making sure those solutions can actually be used in the field.
A central expectation is that each center is built in a way that pulls together diverse scientific and community resources, with a clear focus on the safety and health problems most important to the center's service area. NIOSH wants applicants to describe the occupational safety and health burden in their region in a concise, data-informed way, and then show a direct line between that burden and the center's proposed research and outreach activities. In other words, the application should make it easy to see why the problems selected matter, who is affected, and how the planned work is likely to reduce those risks.
The opportunity places heavy emphasis on creating and implementing evidence-based interventions for major agricultural, forestry, and fishing hazards. At the same time, it recognizes that even good solutions often fail if they are hard to adopt, too expensive, culturally mismatched, poorly communicated, or not supported by employers and institutions. Because of that, NIOSH explicitly calls for innovative approaches that identify and address barriers to adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and long-term sustainability of proven strategies. Applicants are expected to think beyond the initial intervention and consider how the work will be maintained and expanded over time, including what it takes for a solution to become routine practice.
Another key element is collaboration. NIOSH expects partnerships with other academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and occupational safety and health focused groups, reflecting the idea that effective prevention in these industries often requires coordination across research, education, outreach, and community networks. These collaborations should strengthen both the research side (for example, expertise and methods) and the dissemination side (for example, trusted messengers and access to worker populations).
Applicants are also expected to clearly explain the impacts they anticipate during the project period and after it ends. This includes near-term outcomes like better hazard recognition, improved practices, or deployment of training and prevention materials, as well as longer-term outcomes such as measurable reductions in injuries and illnesses, durable regional infrastructure for occupational safety and health, and sustained use of effective interventions. The program is structured to reward proposals that can show a realistic pathway from research to real-world change.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity administered by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with NIOSH as the sponsoring institute. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the funder expects an active role and ongoing engagement compared with a standard grant. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.262. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement.
The opportunity was created on December 7, 2021, with an original application due date of January 24, 2022 (electronically submitted applications due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time). The anticipated award ceiling is $2,200,000, and NIOSH expected to make about 12 awards. Overall, the program is aimed at supporting well-organized centers that can combine rigorous occupational health research with strong, audience-appropriate outreach to produce measurable, lasting improvements in worker safety and health across agriculture, forestry, and fishing.Apply for RFA OH 22 002
