NIOSH State Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program
Funds cooperative surveillance work in the United States through state-level agreements and public health systems.
NIOSH State Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program funds state-level surveillance work through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the CDC institute that studies worker safety and health. The program supports occupational injury and illness tracking through cooperative agreements with state health departments and closely related state partners. The current cycle covers 23 states across three participation levels: Fundamental, Fundamental-Plus, and Expanded. It runs under PAR-20-312 for the 2021-2026 period, and the next cycle was forecast as RFA-OH-26-007 using the U60 mechanism. The eligible applicant pool is narrow: state health departments, state Departments of Labor, and bona fide agents such as state-university partnerships. Award amounts were not published in the source material. This is a fit for applicants that already sit inside state public-health or labor systems and can maintain surveillance data over time. Strong proposals usually show durable data partnerships, clear reporting lines, and the ability to turn case data into prevention action. General universities and nonprofits are not the core audience unless they are acting as designated state partners.
