The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the NIEHS/DOE Worker Training Program's HAZMAT Training at US Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Weapons Complex (UH4 Clinical Trial Not Allowed). The major objective of the NIEHS WTP (Worker Training Program is to prevent work related harm by training workers in how best to protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials. The WTP program is committed to preventing chronic disease/conditions, promoting mental health resilience, and improving the overall well-being of the U.S. workforce through health and safety education and training. The WTP is mandated by Congress through the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. Initiative Details The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), Section 126(g) ; in U.S. law at 42 USC 9660a : authorizes an assistance program (GRANT PROGRAM) for training and education of workers engaged in activities related to hazardous waste generation, removal, containment or emergency response and hazardous materials transportation and emergency response. The United States Congress assigned responsibility for administering this program to the NIEHS, NIH, US HHS. The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal years 1992 and 1993 (42 USC 7274(d)) authorized the Secretary of Energy in section 3131(a)(1)(A)-(B) to make awards (in law at 50 USC 2731(a)(1-3) : "to provide training and education to persons who are or may be engaged in hazardous substance response or emergency at DOE nuclear weapons facilities; and to develop response curricula for such training and education." The Secretary was further authorized in Section 3131(a)(2)(A)-(B) to make the training awards to non-profit organizations demonstrating capabilities in: "implementing and conducting effective training and education programs relating to the general health and safety of workers; and identifying, and involving in training, groups of workers whose duties include hazardous substance response or emergency response." Funding for the program comes from the Energy and Water Development Appropriations under the DOE Environmental Cleanup section and is transferred to administer the grants in Sect. 3131(a)(2)(B). This NOFO will utilize the UH4 activity code to provide support for the development of health and safety training of workers exposed to hazardous materials. This consists of health and safety training for workers and their supervisors, who are engaged in hazardous waste generation, treatment, storage, disposal, removal, containment, transportation, or emergency response. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of occupational, environmental health and safety education and training are encouraged to apply. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in industrial hygiene and environmental exposures will be encouraged.

The purpose of the R01 grant program is to (1) improve understanding of the risks and conditions associated with occupational diseases and injuries, (2) identify and evaluate methods to reduce risks and prevent or minimize exposure to hazardous workplace conditions, and (3) translate scientific findings into practical prevention strategies, interventions, and products that reduce work-related illnesses and injuries. The Research Project Grant (R01) supports a discrete, specified research project in scientific areas that reflect the investigator's expertise and interests and that align with the mission of NIOSH. Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health problem their proposal addresses and explain how the proposed research activities will lead to outputs that help address this problem. Applicants should clearly describe the expected impacts of the proposed research, both during the project period and beyond.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports research to develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate technology-driven and cost-effective tools that reduce the global human rabies burden. It also measures progress toward canine rabies elimination, with an emphasis on high-burden countries. Priority research areas include: Electronic systems for tracking human and dog rabies vaccinations. Managing human rabies exposure investigations. Enhancing rabies laboratory information management systems. Modeling the economic impact of dog-mediated rabies interventions. Estimating rabies-susceptible dog populations. The research is intended to generate data-driven strategies that help accelerate progress toward global canine rabies elimination and protect public health.

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) will help build a workforce that's prepared to collect and use high-quality cancer data. This work is essential to understand the impact of cancer and inform public health action, research, and policy. This NOFO will support the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) by: Strengthening the cancer surveillance workforce. Improving NPCR cancer data quality and completeness. Promoting the value and use of NPCR cancer surveillance data. The recipient will support certified Oncology Data Specialists (ODS) and other cancer surveillance professionals with education, credentialing, and professional development. These activities are intended to ensure the cancer surveillance workforce has the knowledge, skills, and resources to meet emerging needs and new technologies. The recipient will develop, maintain, and advance best practices, tools, and partnerships that support NPCR priorities and ensure timely, complete, and high-quality NPCR cancer surveillance data. This includes improving access to the expertise of ODS through technical assistance and guidance for NPCR registries and staff. In addition, the recipient will strengthen collaboration and communication strategies to promote the value and use of NPCR cancer surveillance data. The goal of these efforts is to help more people recognize that NPCR cancer surveillance data is a valuable resource for cancer research and public health decision-making. As a cooperative agreement, CDC will work closely with the recipient to provide technical assistance, support coordination with NPCR and partners, monitor progress, and help ensure a prepared cancer surveillance workforce that can meet current and future public health needs.
