Of possible interest at some institutions, the note below came through another EHS forum I follow. I'm not sure what NIH's concept of "laboratory safety curriculum and a culture of safety in biomedical research training environments" consists of, but the note indicates to me that the funding agencies are beginning to think of lab safety education as part of the science curriculum...

To continue our efforts to catalyze the modernization of biomedical research training and career development, we invite eligible institutions with active NIGMS training (T32, T34), certain research education (R25), or institutional career development (K12) awards to apply for administrative supplements to develop and implement curricular, training, or administrative activities to:
‰?¢ Enhance laboratory safety curriculum and a culture of safety in biomedical research training environments (NOT-GM-20-016)
‰?¢ Promote safe and inclusive biomedical research training environments (NOT-GM-20-018)
‰?¢ Enhance undergraduate biomedical research training (NOT-GM-20-019) (T34 and R25 undergraduate programs only)
‰?¢ Enhance program evaluation capacity (NOT-GM-20-020)
Our records indicate that you are the Principal Investigator/Program Director for an award that is eligible for at least one of the above supplements. Please consider the following before applying:
‰?¢ Check the eligibility in each notice.
‰?¢ Applications are due by April 15, 2020.
‰?¢ Only one application will be accepted per institution, per area. We expect institutions with two or more eligible grants to develop a single application proposing activities that are broadly applicable to individuals in all their programs.
‰?¢ Applicants should use the Agency Routing Identifier (section 4.b. described in the Application Guide) to indicate the area as specified in the notices.
‰?¢ There's a budget cap of $80,000 in direct costs per award, and the funds from the supplement must be used within 1 year from the supplement award date.
‰?¢ Funds from this supplement cannot be used to support trainee stipends or tuition (T32 or T34), participant costs (R25), or scholar costs (K12).
‰?¢ Applicants must apply electronically through Grants.gov. Applications will not be accepted in other ways.
‰?¢ If applying in more than one area, separate applications must be submitted.
‰?¢ Supplement awardees are expected to present an overview of the funded activities, outcomes, and progress in incorporating these activities into the ongoing program(s) at the meeting organized for program directors/principal investigators of NIGMS Training, Workforce Development, and Diversity programs.
Please discuss potential requests with Dr. Haluk Resat, your NIGMS program director, before submitting a supplement request. Contacts for each area are provided in the notices listed above.
All the best,
