AI Contract Overview
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity to support the Worker Training Program focused on hazardous materials worker health and safety training. This initiative is authorized under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 and aims to provide education and training to workers involved in hazardous waste and materials management, including generation, removal, containment, transportation, and emergency response. The funding, using the U45 activity code, supports a combination of classroom, online, and practical training to enhance the safety and health of workers and supervisors exposed to hazardous conditions. The opportunity encompasses three distinct program areas: the core Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP), which is mandatory for applicants, and two optional programs—the Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP) and the Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP). The announcement encourages investigators with expertise in occupational health and safety education, industrial hygiene, and environmental exposures to apply, either individually or collaboratively. The goal is to advance comprehensive training efforts that reduce risks associated with hazardous materials in the workplace. Interested parties can contact Sharon Beard at NIEHS for more information.

Full Description
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the NIEHS Worker Training Program’s Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training Program (U45 Clinical Trials Not Allowed).
The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), Section126(g), authorizes an assistance program for training and education of workers engaged in activities related to hazardous waste generation, removal, containment or emergency response and hazardous materials transportation and emergency response. The United States Congress assigned responsibility for administering this program to the NIEHS, an Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the US Department of Health and Human Services (US DHHS).
This funding opportunity will utilize the U45 activity code to provide support for the development of health and safety training of workers exposed to hazardous materials. This consists of classroom, online, and practical health and safety training for workers and their supervisors, who are engaged in activities related to hazardous materials, hazardous waste generation, treatment, storage, disposal, removal, containment, transportation, or emergency response. This NOFO lists three distinct program areas: Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP), the Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP), and the Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP). The core program is the HWWTP and is required in order to add the other two optional programs. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of occupational health and safety education and training are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in industrial hygiene and environmental exposures will be encouraged and these investigators should also begin considering applying for this application.
