Application Process
The PNASH Pilot Program awards up to $30,000 to recipients and prioritizes academic researchers, especially new investigators and trainees. Projects should address the prevention of AgFF injuries and illnesses to enhance safety and health in Pacific Northwest communities.
For 2025-2026, new pilot project's principal investigators must be affiliated with the University of Washington, and the budget must be housed within the University of Washington (UW). However, investigators may collaborate with researchers in HHS Region X (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) whose expertise is essential to their project. Investigators must demonstrate strong research interest in AgFF workers’ health and safety or be working in complementary or non-traditional disciplines with clear cross-disciplinary relevance. Preference is given to UW graduate scholars, medical residents, junior faculty, and research staff. Seasoned UW investigators may apply only if they have not previously engaged in AgFF safety and health research.
Funded or recently completed projects may be eligible for an additional education or research translation component, with a maximum funding amount of $5,000.
