The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is
inviting researchers and research organizations to submit applications
immediately for grants in any of the 21 priority areas under the National
Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). NIOSH is soliciting applications to
fund NORA-related grants in Fiscal Year 1999.
NIOSH's Fiscal Year 1999 appropriation provides increased funding for NORA
research, reflecting NIOSH's success in implementing NORA and partnering
with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to fund NORA grants in Fiscal
Year 1998. In Fiscal Year 1999, NIOSH expects to fund an additional $5
million for new NORA research proposals.
NORA-related proposals may be submitted now under NIOSH's general program
announcement for occupational safety and health grant proposals. To be
eligible for Fiscal Year 1999 funding under the general announcement,
proposals must be submitted on or before Feb. 1, 1999. The program
announcement is available on the World Wide Web at
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/811.html.
In addition, NIOSH soon will issue a separate request for application
(RFA) for research in specific NORA priority areas. Further information
on the specific areas of solicitation under the NORA request for
application will be available when the RFA is issued.
"The tremendous response to our joint NIOSH/NIH request for NORA-related
grant applications in Fiscal Year 1998 reaffirmed the power of NORA to
stimulate high-quality research," said NIOSH Director Linda Rosenstock,
M.D., M.P.H. "The Fiscal Year 1999 effort will build on this success and
encourage further proposals for critically needed research."
Eligible applicants for NORA research grants under the general program
announcement include non-profit and for-profit organizations,
universities, colleges, research institutions, and other public and
private organizations, including state and local governments and small,
minority, and/or woman-owned businesses.
Applicants must use research grant application Form PHS-398 (OMB Number
0925-0001). The form is available at most institutional offices of
sponsored research; and from the Extramural Outreach and Information
Resources Office, Office of Extramural Research, 6701 Rockledge Drive,

NORA identifies 21 subject areas in which national occupational health and
safety research will do the most to reduce work-related injuries and
illnesses in the coming decade. NORA was developed by NIOSH with input
and review by more than 500 organizations and individuals from industry,
labor, government agencies, the health and safety community, and the
public.
