Career Development Grants in Occupational Safety and Health Research (K01): This Program Announcement (PA) supersedes all previous announcements of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Special Emphasis Research Career Award (K01) Program. The overall purpose of the NIOSH program for Career Development Grants in Occupational Safety and Health Research is to make awards over a three-year period for investigators who intend to gain experience in a new research area and/or one in which an additional supervised research experience will substantially add to the research capabilities of the applicant. In either case, applicants would develop their research skills under the guidance of at least one mentor who is an accomplished investigator in the relevant research area. The program is open to candidates having faculty appointments and holding a Ph.D., M.D., D.V.M., D.O., or equivalent professional degree who wish to develop research capabilities in research areas relevant to the mission of NIOSH. A goal of this program is to provide "hands-on" research at the applicant institution, to enhance the institutions science infrastructure, and to develop the research career and teaching skills of the candidate. By developing these capabilities, the candidate will expand the pool of well- trained scientists who contribute to solving occupational safety and health concerns and will be in a position to assist other investigators in the same way. Furthermore, the candidate will enhance his/her skills in training students and guiding them to pursuing advanced degrees in this field.
