About this opportunity
PURPOSE NIOSH intends to support the Centers of Excellence in Total Worker Health® (TWH). These Centers will conduct rigorous research and translation activities to prevent harmful exposures, improve working conditions, and advance worker well-being. The Centers will develop practical, scalable solutions for employers and workers. All projects must use the NIOSH Worker Well-Being Questionnaire (WellBQ) and share data with the HERO Worker Well-Being Clearinghouse. Large Research Projects require economic evaluation. PRIORITY AREAS • High-risk occupations: First responders, vehicle mechanics, and technicians, with emphasis on occupational exposures, related health risks, and prevention strategies • Young workers, SMEs • Chronic disease • Mental health, stress • Substance use disorder • Artificial intelligence (AI), digital technologies This is a multi-component NOFO. COMPONENT STRUCTURE Percentages indicate maximum share of total budget. Overall Component (Required) Provides Center leadership and integration. Applicants should show strong coordination, scientific direction, and alignment across projects. Administration, Evaluation, and Emerging Issues Core (Required; up to 15%) Supports management and Center-wide evaluation. Applicants should describe oversight, data governance, and quality assurance.Optional activities include emerging issues and shared research resources. Outreach, Dissemination, and Impact Core (Required; up to 15%) Supports communication, worker/employer engagement, training, translation, implementation, and dissemination strategies. Research Projects (Required; about 60 to 70%) Includes all research activities. Applicants may propose a mix of projects. Research project distinctions are based on scope and complexity rather than cost. Projects should demonstrate scientific rigor and potential for sustained impact. Small Research Projects (Required; at least one project; up to 3 years) Exploratory, feasibility, early-stage intervention, surveillance, or measurement studies. Priority areas: high-risk occupations, young workers, SMEs. Should show innovation and potential to expand. Large Research Projects (Required; at least one project; up to 5 years) Multiyear etiologic, mechanistic, intervention, or translational studies. Priority areas: chronic disease, mental health, substance use disorder. Economic evaluation is required. Projects should include strong design and analytic plans. Pilot/Feasibility Program (Optional; 12–18 months) Short-term studies generating preliminary data or testing AI/digital technology approaches.

NHLBI Program Project Applications (P01 Clinical Trials Optional)
National Institutes of Health
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Program Project Grant (P01) supports research related to fundamental processes and diseases of the heart, blood and lymphatic vessels, lungs, and blood, including transfusion medicine, blood resources, and sleep disorders other programs including implementation science, health disparities, and translation research that address the mission of the Institute. This FOA requires a minimum of three interrelated research projects that investigate a complex biomedical theme or research question. The projects may be supported by core units, if justified, to facilitate economy of effort, space, and equipment. The NHLBI provides support for Program Project Grants (PPGs) in the belief that collaborative research efforts can accelerate the acquisition of knowledge more effectively than a simple aggregate of research projects that have no interaction or thematic integration. NHLBI is particularly interested in encouraging new scientific directions in PPGs. Use of the P01 activity code is viewed as an opportunity to attract scientists who have not traditionally been supported by the NHLBI. Further, the PPG environment presents an opportunity for emerging scientific leaders to gain insight into how to lead a successful scientific Program, and applicants will have the opportunity to include a project led by an Early Stage Investigator (ESI). All projects in the Program must be interrelated and have objectives that address a central theme within the scientific mandate of the NHLBI.
