Opportunity Summary:
The Brookwood Sago Mine Safety Grant (Funding Opportunity Number SGA12-3BS; CFDA 17.603) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). For Fiscal Year 2012, MSHA set aside an estimated total of $1,250,000 to support education and training efforts that help miners and mine operators recognize hazardous conditions, avoid unsafe practices, and prevent accidents in and around mining operations. The central emphasis for this funding cycle is underground mine safety, specifically training materials and hands-on or skills-based training that strengthens mine emergency preparedness and mine emergency prevention. In practical terms, the program is intended to improve readiness for emergencies and reduce the likelihood of emergencies occurring in the first place, using targeted instruction, curricula, and training tools designed for underground mining environments.
Eligible applicants include U.S. states as well as nonprofit entities, whether private or public, and eligible organizations may apply on their own or as part of a partnership. If multiple organizations collaborate, the application must clearly identify a lead organization that will be responsible for managing the project and serving as the primary contact. Non-state applicants and those that are not state-supported or local government-supported institutions of higher learning must provide documentation proving nonprofit status, with IRS documentation preferred. The opportunity also draws a line around lobbying: nonprofit organizations described under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(4) that engage in lobbying activities are not eligible for an award. The listing of eligible applicants also highlights 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education) as a qualifying applicant category, which signals that many community-based, worker-safety, and training-focused nonprofits can be competitive applicants if they meet the program's requirements.
Funding is structured with a clear minimum and maximum award size. Individual grants will be no less than $50,000 (the award floor) and may be as high as $250,000 (the award ceiling) for a 12-month period of performance. MSHA indicated it may make both annual awards and renewal awards, including potential two-year grants, depending on the quality of applications and the agency's program decisions. The total number of awards was expected to be driven by MSHA's evaluation process, with an estimated 15 awards anticipated. Importantly for budgeting and program planning, the grant does not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds to be eligible.
The application process for this competition is electronic. Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov). MSHA notes that if submitting online creates a hardship, the MSHA Directorate of Educational Policy and Development can provide help to enable electronic submission, rather than offering a separate paper-based pathway. Timing is also clearly defined: the application deadline is August 31, 2012, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, and MSHA planned to make awards on or before September 30, 2012. The opportunity was posted July 27, 2012 (created July 26, 2012) and was slated for archiving on September 30, 2012, aligning with the award timeline.
For applicants needing assistance with the announcement itself, the listed point of contact is Robert Glatter, Deputy Director in MSHA's Educational Policy and Development (EPD), reachable by phone at 202-693-9575.
