Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announced a one-time competitive grant opportunity funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). The agency made about $1.2 million available from the Dislocated Workers Assistance National Reserve to support projects that help workers who have been dislocated due to foreign trade. The central purpose of the solicitation is to expand training, technical assistance, and outreach connected to the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program, with the goal of improving how trade-affected workers learn about, access, and benefit from available services.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 09 06) under CFDA 17.260, WIA Dislocated Workers. ETA expected to fund between one and four projects total. Individual awards were anticipated to range from $300,000 (award floor) up to $1,200,000 (award ceiling), meaning a single applicant could potentially receive the full amount if the proposal warranted it and the competition resulted in one award. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers the barrier to entry for organizations that can demonstrate strong capacity but do not have substantial unrestricted funds to contribute.
The solicitation emphasized that funded projects had to be developed and carried out through strategic partnerships, not as stand-alone efforts. In practical terms, ETA was looking for applicants that could bring together key stakeholders (for example, groups that work directly with trade-impacted workers, organizations that understand employer needs and layoff dynamics, and entities with experience navigating or supporting the TAA system) to create coordinated approaches to outreach and service improvement. The focus on partnerships also suggests that the Department wanted solutions that could be implemented quickly and effectively, leveraged across existing networks, and replicated or scaled beyond a single site or organization.
Eligibility was limited to specific types of national or nationally connected entities with relevant ties to TAA or trade-affected workers. Eligible applicants included national employer associations, national labor organizations, other labor affiliates, nonprofit organizations, and national associations that have connections to the TAA program or to workers impacted by trade. This framing indicates that ETA intended these projects to have broader reach than a purely local initiative and to rely on organizations positioned to influence, coordinate, or support efforts across multiple regions, industries, or affiliated groups.
Key dates were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on March 15, 2010, and applications were due by April 14, 2010, no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The announcement was later archived on May 14, 2010. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, ETA provided a point of contact: Rahel Bizuayene, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-693-3256.
In short, this Recovery Act-funded solicitation offered a relatively small but targeted pool of national reserve dislocated worker funds to support partnership-driven projects that strengthened training, technical assistance, and outreach for workers displaced by foreign trade, with the expectation that a small number of awards would produce visible, coordinated improvements in how trade-affected workers engage with TAA-related services.
