Extramural Research and Training Programs
The NIOSH extramural research and training programs include diverse portfolios of investigator initiated research, mentored research scientist career development awards, training programs, and small business innovation research projects. Multidisciplinary education and research centers and state surveillance programs complement the breadth and depth of extramural research and training at NIOSH.
A description of these portfolios is available along with links to current performance data. Extramural performance data includes a listing of all active awards, extramural funding summary by activity and year, extramural research impact examples, and research funding success rates. A link to the NIH Research Reporting Online Reporting Tools (RePORT) provides access to reports, data and analysis of all NIH research. NIOSH participates in this program and you can search NIOSH funded reports by selecting CDC-NIOSH in the Agency /Institute/Center field on the query page.
The peer review and program management of the NIOSH extramural research and training program portfolios is managed by the scientific program officials in the Office of Extramural Programs (OEP). The OEP also manages the extramural portfolio of cooperative agreements for the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP). This portfolio includes the WTCHP Registry, research projects, and outreach activities.
Please see a list of all currently funded grant awards and funding opportunities for current grant opportunities at NIOSH. Additionally, check out the priority goals for extramural research, which individuals are encouraged to consider when applying for grants.

Risk Assessment Questionnaire for Applications No Longer Required
CDC has retired the Risk Assessment Questionnaire Requirement and applicants are no longer required to submit the CDC Risk Questionnaire as part of their NOFO application. CDC continues to conduct the review of risk posed by applicants as described in the Review and Selection Process. We may ask for additional information prior to the award based on the results of the review. Risk Questionnaires that are submitted will not be included in this risk review.
