Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant, FY 2009 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to support safety and health training and education. The overall purpose of the program is to fund training projects that help workers and employers recognize workplace hazards, avoid those hazards, and prevent injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. In other words, the grant is aimed at practical, prevention-focused education that improves day-to-day safety and health performance at the workplace level.
For FY 2009, OSHA highlights four priority training areas. First, the program strongly emphasizes educating workers and employers in small businesses, defined for this program as businesses with 250 or fewer employees. Second, it supports training related to new OSHA standards, helping workplaces understand and comply with recently issued regulatory requirements. Third, it prioritizes training for at-risk worker and employer populations, which generally refers to groups that face higher exposure to hazards or experience disproportionate injury and illness rates. Fourth, it funds training on high-risk activities or hazards that OSHA has identified either through the Department of Labor Strategic Plan or through OSHA special emphasis programs, meaning the training focus should align with documented national or agency-identified risk areas.
The funding opportunity number is SHTG FY 09 02, and it is associated with CFDA number 17.502 (Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants). The estimated total funding available under this announcement is $6,900,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of award. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as safety and health training and education, which reflects that the supported work is primarily instructional, outreach, and capacity-building rather than direct enforcement or inspection activity.
Eligibility is limited to specific types of organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, including qualifying labor unions and community-based or faith-based organizations, as long as they are not an agency of a state or local government. In addition, state- or local-government-supported institutions of higher education are eligible to apply in accordance with 29 CFR part 95. Eligible organizations may apply independently or as part of a partnership, but if multiple organizations collaborate, the application must clearly identify a lead organization. The announcement also makes clear that subgrants are not authorized. Subcontracting may be allowed, but any subcontract must follow the federal procurement standards in 29 CFR 95.40 through 95.48, including the requirement for full and open competition to the maximum extent practicable under applicable OMB circular guidance.
There are also important restrictions tied to nonprofit status and lobbying. Applicants other than state- or local-government-supported institutions of higher education must provide evidence of nonprofit status from the Internal Revenue Service. Separately, a 501(c)(4) organization that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive federal funds for an award, grant, or loan under the cited federal restriction (see 1 U.S.C. 1611). These conditions are meant to ensure that award funds support training and education activities consistent with federal grant requirements.
Key dates for the FY 2009 competition include a posted date of June 10, 2009, and an application deadline of July 24, 2009. Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the system had to receive them no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, July 24, 2009. The archive date for the opportunity is September 30, 2009, indicating the formal closeout of the announcement in the public listing after the competition period.
