HHSNational Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

Office of Extramural Programs (OEP)http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/oep/about.html

What: NIOSH announces its extramural research, training, and conference support programs in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts.

NIOSH Sector and Cross-Sector programs have identified priority goals for extramural research. These goals are available on the NIOSH Program Portfolio page and should be considered at the time research projects are being developed. Researchers are encouraged to identify priority goals for extramural research as a part of their application. Please see Funding Opportunities for specific instructions regarding the selection of research goals for individual funding announcements.

Prevention is the thrust of the research program, and studies are supported to identify occupational populations at risk, develop methods for measuring exposures to hazards and detecting adverse health effects, determine the prevalence and incidence of occupational hazards, understand the etiology of occupational diseases and injuries, and reduce or eliminate exposures to hazards. Support is provided for both laboratory and field studies involving humans, as well as laboratory studies with various animal models and cell lines. Acute, subchronic, and chronic investigations are supported. Methods development involves measurement instrumentation, analytical techniques, medical monitoring procedures, and statistical designs to improve accuracy and precision of results. Fundamental or basic research may be supported if the applicant describes in the proposal how the research effort has current or potential utility in dealing with an occupational safety or health concern.

HHS CDCPrevention Research Centers (PRC)http://www.cdc.gov/prc/about-prc-program/index.htm

What: All PRCs share a common goal of addressing behaviors and environmental factors that affect chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Several PRCs also address injury, infectious disease, mental health, and global health. Some centers work with specific populations, such as African Americans and Latinos in inner cities, American Indians in New Mexico and Oregon, Mexican Americans along the US-Mexico border, rural residents who live below the poverty level, people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and youth or older adults.

The Prevention Research Centers work as an interdependent network of community, academic, and public health partners to conduct prevention research and promote the wide use of practices proven to promote good health.

The prevention researchers collaborate with communities to develop and conduct research that benefits the research participants and often broad communities as well. Differences in administrative and funding mechanisms create different project types:• Each center conducts at least one core project that reflects the center's chief research focus with a

community.• Many centers work on special interest projects (SIPs) funded by CDC and other federal agencies.

The funder outlines broad goals for each SIP, which is offered only to the PRCs, and the grantee is selected through competitive peer-review.

How much: With $25M in FY 2015 funding, the PRCs will conduct work in all of NCCDPHP’s four domains. CDC also awarded $12M to 21 PRCs for 56 Special Interest Projects to design, test, and share effective public health prevention research strategies. Each project is funded for at least one year, but many are multiyear projects that receive several million dollars.

HHS CDC National Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention (YVPC)

http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/ace/

What: CDC's Division of Violence Prevention funds several National Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (formerly Academic Centers of Excellence). The goal of the ACE Program is to reduce the incidence of youth violence in defined communities by achieving the following objectives:• Monitoring the magnitude and distribution of youth interpersonal violence.• Building the scientific infrastructure necessary to support the development and widespread application of

effective youth violence prevention interventions.• Promoting interdisciplinary research strategies to address the problem of youth violence.• Fostering collaborations between academic researchers and communities.• Mobilizing and empowering communities to address the problem of youth violence.

The mission of the National Academic Centers of Excellence (ACE) on Youth Violence Prevention is to research and prevent youth violence by using effective violence surveillance tools, identifying and testing successful violence prevention programs, and strengthening responses to youth violence through community mobilization efforts. The ACEs and their community partners collaborate to reduce youth violence by identifying, implementing, and evaluating promising prevention programs. The research findings from these programs can contribute to the evidence base and may also serve to build a community’s capacity to respond to future public health issues.

HHS CDCIntegrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence

http://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/centers/

What:The Integrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence build capacity in other health departments by developing and providing online and in-person resources, training, and assistance for foodborne illness surveillance and investigations.

The program was established in 2012 under the authority of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which was signed into law on January 4, 2011 to improve prevention, surveillance, and response to outbreaks of foodborne illness. In the legislation, CDC is charged with designating Integrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence at state health departments to identify and implement best practices in foodborne disease surveillance and to serve as a resource for public health professionals at state, local, and regional levels.

The Centers were chosen through a competitive process in which a panel reviewed and evaluated applications. The review panel scored and ranked the applications and CDC designated the states scoring the highest on their applications as Integrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence. The original five Centers were designated in 2012, and the newest Center, New York, joined the program in 2015 to fill a need in the Northeast.
