GPCAH Acadenuc and Community Pilot Grants Due Dec 1

The GPCAH is now accepting proposals for pilot projects intended to promote innovative outreach and research efforts to prevent agricultural injury and illness in our Midwest region. Learn more and apply at https://bit.ly/Pilots2022.

The pilot program offers two funding tracks (see below) and supports both community-based organizations and academic researchers, especially new investigators and trainees, and encourages applications from those newly interested in agricultural health and safety research.  Projects must target the prevention of injury and illness resulting from agricultural work exposures.

Applications are open to individuals or groups from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  Each project may be funded up to $30,000 (total cost).  Proposals addressing mental health, chemical safety, machine safety, and prevention of slips, trips, and falls are especially encouraged in the 2022-23 application cycle. However, any topic of relevance to the GPCAH mission and/or NIOSH priority goals for the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing industry sector is welcome.  



Academic/scholarly research pilot grants
