Overview
The centers would carry out high-level research, creating and implementing solutions based on evidence that focus on major safety and health issues. Their findings should be effectively communicated in appropriate formats for audiences including workers and industry leaders. The centers are encouraged to utilize broad scientific resources and concentrate on safety concerns at a local, regional, and national level.
Moreover, these research centers should be innovative, understanding and developing strategies to bypass obstacles preventing the adoption and sustainability of evidence-based safety solutions. Collaboration with academic bodies, non-profit organizations, and other groups focused on occupational safety and health is expected.
Applications should clearly describe the existing safety and health issues within their specific service area and explain how their research and outreach activities proposed will lessen these issues. The impacts of the proposed work should be projected not just for the duration of the project, but also for the long term. The successful execution will ideally bring about significant improvement in worker safety and health in these sectors.
