The National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety (NCCRAHS) will provide funding to test, implement, or recommend strategies that are likely to identify causes, effects, and prevention interventions in response to emerging health and safety concerns of children working on, living in, or visiting agricultural environments.

Program focus:

• Impact on people who are at an increased risk for agricultural health and safety concerns that are currently not addressed by research and prevention materials
• Public/organizational policies that safeguard youth in agriculture
• Leverage of existing NCCRAHS resources, materials, or networks

Junior faculty, principal investigators, project leaders, and senior/tenured researchers and staff are eligible to apply.

Up to $45,000 for research and up to $20,000 for non-research projects.

Application guidelines and a link to the frequently asked questions are available on the program website.

Email a letter of intent to nccrahs@marshfieldresearch.org by July 13, 2026. Selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal, with a deadline of August 17, 2026.
