OMSHR For You: Funding Seekers

What has OMSHR looked for in past Broad Agency Announcements?

Sample 1:

Broad Agency Announcement for Refuge Alternative Concepts for Deployment Near the Working Faces of Coal Mines - Expired April 16, 2013

In early 2013, the NIOSH Office of Mine Safety and Health Research was looking for innovative concepts for refuge alternatives near the face area of coal mines. These concepts were to:

• Provide miners with enough confidence to use refuge alternatives in emergency situations when escape is not practical;
• Provide a simple method of employing the refuge alternative;
• Provide enough breathable air supply to increase the likelihood of miners surviving for extended periods of time in the refuge alternative;
• Address heat and humidity concerns within the refuge alternative;
• Provide communication to the refuge alternative; and
• Consider the psychological and ergonomic issues associated with confinement.
