NIOSH is seeking applications from qualified organizations for a National Center for Construction Safety and Health Research and Translation (also known as the NIOSH National Construction Center). Applicants areexpected to propose multi-disciplinary approaches for impactful applied and intervention research and hazard identification and controls, to develop partnerships for implementing prevention and intervention activities, and to serve as leaders in research translation and research-to-practice for the protection of construction workers in the United States. The NIOSH National Construction Center will accomplish these goals by 1) integrating and advancing research, 2) translating and disseminating best practices, 3) disseminating information, 4) informing policy, and 5) building capacity. Applicants must describe the occupational health and safety burden(s) addressed in their proposals. In addition, they must link the need for the proposed research and related activities to the planned outputs and outcomes that will help address or alleviate the construction sector burdens described. Applicants should also describe the anticipated impacts and potential outcomes of the proposed research and related activities that will occur during the 5-year project period and beyond.

The NOFO contains 3 components: A, B, and C. UA may apply for only 1 component.

This NOFO seeks to decrease risk for type 2 diabetes among adults with prediabetes and improve self-care practices, quality of care, and early detection of complications among people with diabetes. Additionally, this NOFO will support implementation of evidence-based, family-centered childhood obesity interventions as a type 2 diabetes risk reduction strategy. The NOFO includes 3 components. Applicants may apply for only 1. Components A and B focus on a menu of strategies to decrease risk for type 2 diabetes among adults at high risk; improve selfcare practices, quality of care, and early detection of complications among priority populations with diabetes; and support implementation of family-centered childhood obesity interventions to reduce risk for type 2 diabetes. Component A will fund 51 organizations physically located in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia to achieve state/district-wide reach. Component B will fund up to 22 organizations to work in US counties identified as “high need” based on diabetes burden and social vulnerability; applicants’ work must reach a population > 350,000 across one or more of these counties, in partnership with local organizations. Component C will fund 3-4 multisectoral partnership networks to simultaneously and collaboratively address 4 aspects of work proven necessary to scale and sustain the National Diabetes Prevention Program to better engage, enroll, and retain large numbers of participants.
