CDC Grants

Grants issued by the Centers for Disease Control support public outreach efforts, research, risk management and information sharing. As of 2010, applications are only being accepted for seven grants. Four of the seven grants offer funding reserved strictly for the development of research at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics. The other three are available for application by members of the broader scientific community.

  1. Immunization Grants and Vaccines for Children

    • Grantees are research scientists who may receive from $50,000 up to $150,000 in research funding depending upon location. This award funds the manufacture and distribution of an influenza vaccine. Grantees are expected to monitor and electronically report the rate of administering the vaccine among certain target populations. If findings are not in keeping with national goals, then grantees must effectively intervene to correct any disparities. The application closing date is August 30, 2010.

    Mentored Research Scientist Development

    • Grantees are eligible institutions that may receive any amount of money up to $100,000 to foster intensive on-the-job training to area scientists. Specifically, the grant funds the expert training of occupational health and safety scientists via mentorship and supervised career development. The application closing date is May 8, 2013.

    Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01)

    • Grantees are qualified organizations that can demonstrate the ability to analyze and identify occupational disease and injury risks. Grantees must also use findings to develop and incorporate effective risk prevention protocols. The amount of the award is unknown. The application closing date is May 8, 2013.
