CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) maintains the National Center for Construction Safety and Health Research and Translation (U54), RFA-OH-24-001, under Assistance Listing 93.262. The controlling NOFO lists the next application deadline as October 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. A letter of intent is required 30 days before the application due date. Applications are prepared through ASSIST or an institutional system-to-system solution and flow through Grants.gov and eRA Commons.
This opportunity is highly restricted for the 2026 cycle. After the December 2023 application due date, CDC/NIOSH states that only Revision and Resubmission applications from the funded Center will be accepted for research projects that competed and were not funded in FY2024. New and Renewal applications are not accepted for later due dates. Accordingly, this is not a cold applicant outreach opportunity for Dr. Miltie, QC Healthcare, or a new outside organization.
NIOSH intends approximately $28.75 million in total costs over a project period of up to five years, with one Center award. The award budget is up to $5.75 million in total costs per 12 month budget period, and no cost sharing is required. The program supports multidisciplinary construction safety and health research, research translation, hazard controls, implementation, and research to practice activities. Emerging technologies can be relevant within an incumbent led research program, but remote examination and telehealth are not stated program objectives.
Atlas assigns an N9+ Fit Score of 42/100 and an Atlas Opportunity Score of 38/100. Any legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform would be limited to an incumbent led occupational health research or technology evaluation use case that fits the funded Center’s approved research strategy. No new applicant outreach, direct submission, or applicant pursuit is authorized from this listing.
