The Small Grant Program (R03) is intended to stimulate proposals from individuals who are considering a research career in occupational safety and health; as such, the minimum time commitment is 10%. It is expected that a recipient would subsequently compete for a career development grant or for a traditional research project grant related to occupational safety and health. The award is not intended to supplement ongoing or other proposed research; nor is it intended to be a mechanism for providing institutional support. Please note that fundamental/basic research is generally not supported. New research priorities are Surveillance: The ability to identify the occurrence and emergence of work-related injury and disease; Work Organization: Investigations are needed on broad aspects of employment, including underemployment, overemployment, unemployment, shift-work, alternate work schedules, and job stress. Also encompassed are special risks that may result from the ongoing evolution to a service economy; to a workforce that is increasingly comprised of women, minorities and older workers; and to conditions of employment and demands for productivity increasingly pressured by global market forces; Control Technology and Intervention Research: to prevent work-related diseases and injuries by designing, implementing, and evaluating measures to reduce occupational hazards at their source; and Health Services Research: 1) assessing the adequacy of the supply of occupational safety and health professionals, including specialist or generalist physicians and nurses, industrial hygienists, safety specialists, and engineers; 2) evaluating the accessibility, availability, and delivery of occupational health services, the role of workers compensation, and the integration of occupational health services and primary health care; 3) improving the quality of occupational health care, through clinical and preventive practice guidelines; 4) assessing the effectiveness of screening and treatment of select occupational conditions; and 5) evaluating the economics of treating and preventing occupational injuries and illnesses. Traditional research priorities are broadly intended for investigator-initiated research of emerging or reemerging issues, particularly those affecting a large number of workers. These areas include: occupational lung diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, occupational cancers (other than lung), severe occupational traumatic injuries and fatalities, cardiovascular disease, disorders of reproduction, neurotoxic disorders, noise-induced hearing loss, dermatologic conditions, and psychological disorders. The small grant investigators must be U.S. citizens or persons lawfully admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence (resident alien) at the time of application who are predoctoral students, post-doctoral researchers (within 3 years following completion of doctoral degree or completion of residency or public health training), or junior faculty members (no higher than assistant professor). If university policy requires that a more senior person be listed as principal investigator, it should be clear in the application which person is the small grant investigator. Except for applicants who are assistant professors, there must be one or more named mentors to assist with the project. This non-renewable award provides support for project periods of up to two years to carry out exploratory or pilot studies, to develop or test new techniques or methods, or to analyze data previously collected. Awards will not exceed $25,000 per year in direct costs for salary support (plus fringe benefits), technical assistance, equipment, supplies, consultant costs, domestic travel, publications, and other costs. The indirect costs will be based upon the negotiated indirect cost rate of the applicant organization. An individual may not receive more than two small grant awards, and then, only if the awards are at different stages of development (e.g., doctoral student, post-doctoral researcher, or junior faculty member).

The Academic Career Award (K07) is used to support individuals interested in introducing or improving curriculum in a particular scientific field as a means of enhancing the educational or research capacity at the grantee institution. This award supports two kinds of activities, 1) Development: provides support for more junior candidates who are interested in developing an academic or research expertise in a particular field. Teaching, curriculum building, research, and leadership skills are to be learned during the tenure of the award. For junior candidates, a mentor is required; 2) Leadership: supports more senior individuals with acknowledged scientific expertise and leadership skills who are interested in improving the curricula and enhancing the research capacity within an academic institution. It is expected that support under this award will increase the visibility and the overall research support or academic capacity for the given field of research within the academic medical/health and research community.
