NIOSH Exploratory/Developmental Grant Program
Funds early-stage R21 research into workplace health hazards and the tools to reduce them.
Workplace hazards keep causing occupational diseases and injuries, and a lot of the early-stage science needed to fix that — new model systems, new tools, new ways of thinking about exposure — never gets funded because it's too early for a full research grant.
NIOSH's R21 mechanism exists for exactly that gap: exploratory and developmental projects chasing innovative scientific concepts, new mode…
NIOSH R21 exploratory/developmental research funding for early-stage occupational safety and health work: identifying workplace hazard risk factors, developing exposure-reduction strategies, and translating findings into prevention tools, products or technologies, open to any organization type but closed to non-U.S. entities and components.
