Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01)

The Occupational Safety and Health Research (R01) grant program is designed to support research in the field of workplace health and safety. It aims to fund projects that will build a deeper understanding of the risks, conditions, and hazards associated with working conditions that can lead to diseases and injuries. The ultimate objective is to develop strategies and methods that will effectively reduce these risks and prevent or minimize employees' exposure to hazardous conditions on the job.

Furthermore, the R01 grant program encourages the implementation of major scientific findings into preventative practices and products. This translates into tangible tools and tactics that can help decrease the occurrence of work-related illnesses and injuries.

The Research Project Grant (R01) is geared towards backing specific projects within these scientific areas, which align with the investigator's strengths and expertise. These projects should also align with the mission of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). In essence, the R01 initiative is committed to promoting a safer and healthier work environment through targeted and meaningful research projects.
