The Role of Work in Health Disparities in the U.S. (R01 Clinical Trials Optional)

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support innovative population-based research that can contribute to identifying and characterizing pathways and mechanisms through which work or occupation influences health outcomes and health status among populations with health and/or health care disparities. This R01 grant supports investigator-initiated research projects across multiple NIH institutes focusing on understanding how occupational factors contribute to health disparities in the United States. The program encourages research that examines the complex relationships between work environments, occupational exposures, employment conditions, and health outcomes in populations experiencing health disparities. Clinical trials are optional under this funding opportunity.
