Opportunity Summary:
The Brookwood Sago Mine Safety Grants (Funding Opportunity Number SGA 09 3BS) are discretionary grants offered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under CFDA 17.603 (Brookwood Sago Grant). For fiscal year 2009, the program is specifically aimed at strengthening mine safety through education-focused projects, with an emphasis on training and training materials that improve mine emergency preparedness and haulage safety. In practical terms, this means MSHA is looking to fund efforts that help miners, supervisors, trainers, and mine operators better prevent incidents and respond effectively when emergencies occur, particularly in areas tied to emergency response readiness and hazards associated with hauling and transport activities in and around mines.
A key point in this 2009 announcement is that MSHA broadened the scope of the program to cover all types of mines. The opportunity is not limited to a single sector; it applies to both surface and underground operations, and it includes metal/nonmetal mines as well as coal mines. This expansion is important for applicants because it signals that proposed training programs can be tailored to a wide range of mining environments and risk profiles, as long as they clearly support emergency preparedness and/or haulage safety outcomes. Projects can focus on developing new curricula, updating existing materials, creating practical training tools, and delivering structured training that can be used by the mining community to reduce risk and improve readiness.
Funding is structured around relatively small, targeted awards. MSHA anticipated making up to 10 separate awards, with a 12-month period of performance for each grant. Each individual grant award is set at $50,000, and the notice indicates an estimated total program funding level of $500,000. The listing also reflects an award floor of $50,000, and the opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for eligible organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility is oriented toward public and nonprofit entities that can credibly design and deliver safety training. Eligible applicants include state governments as well as local units of government such as city or township governments and county governments. MSHA also allows nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) to apply, along with public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity description also emphasizes that applicants may be states and nonprofit entities (public or private), aligning with the broader eligibility list provided in the announcement data. This range of eligible applicants suggests MSHA intended the program to be accessible to government training offices, safety and health nonprofits, and public higher education institutions with mining, occupational safety, or workforce training capacity.
Timing details for the FY 2009 cycle are straightforward. The opportunity was posted on June 30, 2009, with a closing date of July 31, 2009, and it was archived on August 30, 2009. The notice states that it contains the information needed to apply for funding, and it provides an additional information link to MSHA's Brookwood Sago training grant page (http://www.msha.gov/Training/BrookwoodSago/BrookwoodSago.asp), where applicants would typically find guidance, application instructions, and any required forms or templates associated with the competition.
For applicant support, MSHA listed a point of contact for access issues related to the full announcement: Robert Glatter, Administrative Officer, EPD, reachable by phone at 202-693-9575. This contact is intended to help organizations that have trouble obtaining the full electronic announcement so they can still review requirements and submit a compliant application within the stated deadline.
