• Description:
  In FY2013, NIOSH awarded $94,477,560 in extramural funding. A total of 198 awards were made during the fiscal year, and the success rate for investigator-initiated research grants increased from 18% in FY2012 to 23% in FY2013. A total of $48,659,718 (52%) went to multidisciplinary research and training centers, followed by $30,284,244 (32%) for investigator-initiated and career development research grants. Cooperative research agreements made up $10,441,817 (11%) of the FY2013 portfolio followed by $4,089,155 (4%) for individual training project grants and $1,037,626 (1%) for small business innovation research projects. Awards were made in the following categories: 35 (18%) to our multidisciplinary research and training centers, which include Agriculture Safety and Health, Construction, WorkLife, Education and Research Centers (ERC), and Mining Training Centers; 101 (51%) for investigator-initiated and career development; 29 (15%) for cooperative research agreements; 28 (14%) for individual training project grants; and 5 (3%) for small business innovation research. Eighteen ERCs received approximately $23 million in funding, followed by almost $15 million for Agriculture Safety and Health Centers. Approximately $6 million was awarded to the National Center for Construction Research and Training, and just over $4 million was awarded to the Centers of Excellence to Promote a Healthier Workforce. Mining training centers received $0.8 million in funds in FY2013. These centers received funding for both continuing and competing renewals. Review of the 2013 fiscal year revealed that each NORA industrial sector met most of their strategic goals either through extramural or intramural research efforts. In FY2013, NIOSH-funded researchers published approximately 334 journal articles in relevant scientific journals, including two top-ranked journals: Journal of American Medical Association and Environmental Health Perspectives. The journal most frequently published in was the American Journal of Industrial Medicine (n=38). The number of publications increased from 292 in FY2012 to 334 in FY2013. The public health relevance and impact of active projects in FY2013 are described in Appendix 4. [Description provided by NIOSH]
