Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 15 352
The Occupational Safety and Health Training Project Grants (T03) program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Its central purpose is to expand and sustain the pipeline of well-trained occupational safety and health professionals who can carry out the goals of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. In practice, this funding supports structured training programs that develop the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities across U.S. industries.
A major emphasis of the program is supporting high-quality training in the core occupational safety and health disciplines. Most awards go to academic institutions that educate and train students in fields such as industrial hygiene (recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace exposures), occupational health nursing (protecting and promoting worker health through clinical and preventive practice), occupational medicine residency training (physician specialization focused on work-related health), and occupational safety (hazard prevention, safety systems, and risk management). The announcement also recognizes that closely related allied disciplines can be appropriate when they directly strengthen the occupational safety and health workforce and meet documented training needs.
In addition to university-based programs, NIOSH uses T03 awards to support non-academic training efforts designed for specific workforce needs and targeted populations. Examples explicitly mentioned include programs serving firefighters, commercial fishermen, and occupational health and safety interns. This reflects the program's flexibility to fund training models that fit high-risk or specialized sectors where traditional academic pipelines may not fully meet demand, as long as the training focus remains clearly tied to occupational safety and health capacity building.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include public or private institutions of higher education, and the program specifically encourages applications from institutions that serve historically underrepresented communities, including Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Beyond higher education, eligible applicants also include nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city/township, special district, federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal governments, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Other eligible entities listed include independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal organizations that are not governments, faith-based or community-based organizations, and regional organizations. Foreign institutions and other non-U.S. entities are explicitly not eligible to apply.
The opportunity is identified as PAR 15 352 under CFDA 93.262, with grants as the funding instrument type and a health-related funding activity category.
