archived

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose to further the development of Advanced Technology Training (ATT) Products for the health and safety training of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) workers, emergency responders, and skilled support personnel; for community and citizen preparation and resiliency; and for ATT tools to assist in research into the acute and long-term health effects of environmental disasters. These products would complement the goals and objectives of the Worker Education and Training Program (WETP) http://www.niehs.nih.gov/careers/hazmat/about_wetp/. The major objective of the NIEHS/WETP is to prevent work related harm by assisting in the training of workers in how best to protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials. The financial support for this initiative comes directly from NIEHS Worker Education and Training Branch SBIR funds.
