Opportunity Summary:
The Brookwood Sago Grant is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under CFDA 17.603. For FY 2013, MSHA set aside an estimated total of $550,000 to support educational and training efforts that help miners and mine-related workers identify hazards, avoid dangerous situations, and prevent unsafe working conditions in and around mines. The central emphasis for this funding cycle is underground mine safety, especially training and training materials focused on mine emergency preparedness and mine emergency prevention. In practical terms, MSHA is looking for programs that strengthen readiness for emergencies and reduce the likelihood that emergencies happen in the first place, using skills-based training, curricula, and other instructional resources tailored to underground mining environments.
Funding is provided through standard grant awards, with MSHA expecting to make about seven awards, although the final number depends on the quality of applications received and MSHA's evaluation. Individual awards must be at least $50,000 and may be as high as $150,000 for a 12-month period of performance, meaning project activities are expected to be carried out within a one-year timeframe. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligible applicants include U.S. states and nonprofit entities, whether private or public. Eligible organizations may apply on their own or as part of a partnership, but partnerships must clearly name a lead organization responsible for the application and overall grant management. Nonprofit eligibility is tied to federal tax status and documentation: applicants other than states and state-supported or local government-supported institutions of higher education must provide evidence of nonprofit status, ideally an IRS determination letter. The announcement also draws a clear line on lobbying-related eligibility: organizations described under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(4) that engage in lobbying activities are not eligible for an award. The opportunity listing also indicates eligibility for nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), reinforcing that MSHA is targeting nonprofit training and safety organizations as a major applicant pool.
Applications for the Brookwood Sago Grant had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using Funding Opportunity Number BS13 3BS. MSHA noted that if online submission created a hardship, the MSHA Directorate of Educational Policy and Development would provide assistance to help applicants submit electronically, but the submission method remained centered on Grants.gov. For FY 2013, the application deadline was August 31, 2013, with submissions due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, and MSHA planned to make award decisions on or before September 30, 2013. The funding notice was posted on July 29, 2013, and archived on September 30, 2013, reflecting a short, one-month application window.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or encountering issues with the posting, MSHA provided a direct program contact: Robert Glatter, Deputy Director in Educational Policy and Development (EPD), at 202-693-9570 or glatter.robert@dol.gov.
