Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OH 19 002
The Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Collaboration, Education and Translation opportunity (RFA OH 19 002) is a CDC/NIOSH cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how occupational safety and health (OSH) data are collected, combined, shared, and used to prevent work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths. Rather than functioning like a traditional research grant where the awardee operates largely independently, this uses a cooperative agreement structure (U24), which typically means close collaboration with NIOSH and an emphasis on building practical capacity, tools, and services that others can use. The core idea is to help tribal nations, states, and large municipalities improve their OSH programs by expanding their ability to work with multi-source surveillance data and translate that information into real-world prevention action.
A central deliverable under this funding is the operation of an open-access, online repository that houses occupational health information and surveillance data. In practical terms, the awardee is expected to run a publicly available platform where stakeholders can find, access, and make use of OSH surveillance resources. The repository concept points to more than just storing datasets; it also implies organizing and curating information so that public health agencies, worker advocates, researchers, and other partners can apply it easily for decision-making. The emphasis on "education and translation" signals that the repository should support learning and practical uptake, bridging the gap between data and on-the-ground interventions.
The program is aimed at enabling stakeholders, especially states, tribes, and NGOs, to use surveillance data to drive coordinated and targeted worker protection efforts. The opportunity description highlights several types of actions that surveillance data should support: identifying and supporting tribal and state OSH priorities; guiding coordinated efforts to protect workers; monitoring statistical trends and measuring progress over time in terms of burden and impact; proposing pilot projects and evaluation activities that directly address disease burden or program impact; and conducting educational and outreach work that leads to prevention and intervention recommendations. In other words, the funded work is expected to help move from simply describing problems to testing solutions, evaluating what works, and sharing recommendations that can be implemented by agencies and partners.
Eligibility for this funding is broad, reflecting how many different organizations contribute to OSH surveillance and prevention. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including cities, townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and other unrestricted applicants as allowed by the full eligibility language. This wide eligibility aligns with NIOSHs stated approach of building collaborative surveillance and research relationships across health departments, universities, labor groups, and nonprofit organizations.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity sits within the health funding category and is listed under CFDA 93.262. It was posted by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), via ERA, with a creation date of December 11, 2018, and an original application due date of January 31, 2019 (with electronically submitted applications due by 5:00 p.m. ET on the due date). The anticipated scale of funding is relatively focused: the award ceiling is $225,000, and the expected number of awards is 1. That combination suggests a single awardee would serve as a hub, providing technical assistance, services, and an accessible online infrastructure that many jurisdictions and organizations can rely on.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an effort to improve the national and local ecosystem for occupational health surveillance by strengthening capacity, standardizing and expanding the use of multiple data sources, and making information easier to access and apply. The expected impact is not just better reporting, but stronger prevention planning and action driven by surveillance, with clearer tracking of worker health burdens and the effectiveness of interventions over time.Apply for RFA OH 19 002
