The National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety is accepting proposals for mini-grants up to $20,000 "to support small-scale projects and pilot studies that address
prevention of childhood agricultural disease and injury," says the organization's website. Funds will be given to test innovative strategies, develop new partnerships beyond safety professionals and translate
research findings into practical applications.
Grants are available to "individuals affiliated with community-based organizations, public or
private institutions, units of local or state government, or tribal
government," says the website. "Priority will be given to organizations and junior faculty who are
building their capacity in childhood agricultural health and safety and
those that generate new partnerships" with highest priority given to proposals that address barriers to keeping young children out of the farm worksite, address vulnerable populations or test safety strategies with new partners.
The application deadline is Nov. 7. For more information or to submit a proposal, click here.
