In this paper, we derive a generalized second fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) for stochastic dynamical systems in the steady state. The established theory is built upon the Mori-type generalized Langevin equation for stochastic dynamical systems and only uses the properties of the Kolmogorov operator. The new second FDT expresses the memory kernel of the generalized Langevin equation as the correlation function of the fluctuation force plus an additional term. In particular, we show that for nonequilibrium states such as heat transport between two thermostats with different temperatures, the classical second FDT is valid even when the exact form of the steady state distribution is unknown. The obtained theoretical results enable us to construct a data-driven nanoscale fluctuating heat conduction model based on the second FDT. We numerically verify that the new model of heat transfer yields better predictions than the Green-Kubo formula for systems far from the equilibrium.
