Opportunity Summary:
The Brookwood Sago Mine Safety Grant is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to support education and training efforts that reduce hazards in and around mines. For FY 2011, MSHA set aside a total of $1,000,000 to fund programs that help miners and mine-related workers better identify, avoid, and prevent unsafe working conditions, with a specific emphasis on underground mine environments. The central theme for this funding cycle is mine emergency preparedness and mine emergency prevention, meaning the agency is looking for training programs and training materials that strengthen readiness for emergencies and reduce the likelihood that emergencies occur in the first place.
MSHA anticipated making up to 20 awards under this announcement. Individual grant awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $50,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $250,000 for a 12-month period of performance, giving applicants room to propose anything from smaller, targeted training initiatives to more comprehensive programs that develop and deliver substantial training content. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligible applicants include States and nonprofit entities, including private or public nonprofits, with the eligibility listing emphasizing nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). In practical terms, this points toward organizations such as safety training nonprofits, labor or worker advocacy nonprofits that provide training services, and other mission-driven groups with the capability to develop effective mine safety curricula, produce training materials, and deliver instruction to the intended audiences. The funding activity category is classified under Employment, Labor and Training, and the program is associated with CFDA number 17.603 (Brookwood Sago Grant).
A notable feature in this announcement is the introduction of a new program structure that allows applicants to apply for a renewal grant. That signals MSHA's interest in supporting continuity for strong training programs beyond an initial project period, provided they meet the program's expectations and renewal criteria. The announcement indicates that it contains the information needed to apply, which typically includes required application components, proposal content expectations, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number SGA11 3BS and an original/current closing date of August 31, 2011 (posted August 4, 2011; created August 2, 2011; archived September 30, 2011).
