Opportunity Summary:
The Mine Health and Safety Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number MSHA2015 1) was a mandatory federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to support activities that strengthen mine safety and health. It was classified under the funding activity area of Employment, Labor and Training and aligned with CFDA Number 17.600 (Mine Health and Safety Grants). The overall purpose was to provide grant funding for initiatives that improve safety and health conditions in mining, typically through training, education, technical assistance, and other state-led efforts that help prevent mine-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to state governments, meaning state agencies or entities designated by a state to carry out mine safety and health-related functions were the intended applicants. The program anticipated making about 50 awards, indicating MSHA expected to distribute funding broadly across multiple states and/or multiple projects rather than concentrating resources in only a few large awards. The estimated total funding available for the cycle was $8,441,000. The notice listed an award ceiling of $0 and an award floor of $0, which generally signals that applicants needed to consult the full solicitation for the actual allowable or typical award sizes, since the summary fields in the posting did not specify minimum or maximum per-award amounts.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs. The specific match percentage, what types of contributions were allowable (cash vs. in-kind), and documentation expectations would have been defined in the FY 2015 Solicitation of Grant Opportunity (SGA) referenced in the Additional Information link. Applicants would normally need to plan their budgets with that requirement in mind, identify the source of the match, and be prepared to track and report it according to federal grant rules.
Key dates for this particular posting show it was released on March 25, 2015, with an application deadline of May 18, 2015. The record indicates it was archived on June 17, 2015, meaning the application window closed and the listing was moved into an inactive status after that period. The creation date in the record is April 24, 2015, which typically reflects when the opportunity record was entered or updated in the system rather than the original public release date.
For applicants or the public who needed help accessing the full announcement, MSHA provided a point of contact: Janice Oates, Management and Program Analyst, reachable at (202) 693-9573 or by email at oates.janice@dol.gov. The full details, including allowable activities, evaluation criteria, required forms, reporting obligations, and the exact matching requirements, were contained in the FY 2015 SGA associated with this grant opportunity.
