Opportunity Summary:
The Brookwood Sago Grant (Funding Opportunity Number SGA14-3BS) is a Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) grant program under the U.S. Department of Labor designed to fund education and training efforts that reduce hazards in and around mines. The overall purpose is prevention focused: helping miners and mine-related workers better identify unsafe conditions, avoid them, and prevent them from leading to incidents. For Fiscal Year 2014, MSHA made clear that the priority area is underground mine safety, specifically training and training materials tied to mine emergency preparedness and mine emergency prevention. In practice, that means projects that strengthen readiness for emergencies (such as response planning and actions during an event) while also emphasizing the steps that keep emergencies from happening in the first place.
The opportunity was posted May 7, 2014, and applications were due by June 30, 2014 (with an archive date of July 30, 2014). MSHA estimated a total of $1,000,000 available through this competition. Awards were structured with a defined range: each individual grant could be no less than $50,000 and no more than $250,000. MSHA anticipated making up to 20 awards, but the final number depended on the quality of applications and MSHA's evaluation, meaning fewer than 20 awards could be made if proposals did not meet expectations or align strongly with the program priorities.
Eligible applicants included states and nonprofit entities (public or private). The source data also highlights nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants. The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under Employment, Labor, and Training, and it is associated with CFDA number 17.603 (Brookwood Sago Grant). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to bring additional non-federal funds to receive an award, which can lower the barrier to entry for smaller nonprofits that have strong training capacity but limited unrestricted funding.
A key constraint in FY 2014 was that MSHA did not plan to issue renewal (two-year) grants under this solicitation. In other words, applicants needed to propose a one-year project and budget rather than expecting the opportunity to function as a multi-year renewal path. The notice indicated it contained all information needed to apply, and it referenced common federal application forms (such as SF-424 series forms) as supporting documents.
For applicant support, MSHA provided a point of contact for access issues with the full announcement: Janice Oates, Management Program Analyst, EPD, reachable at 202-693-9570 or oates.janice@dol.gov.
