Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant, FY 2012 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to support safety and health training and education in the workplace. The central purpose of the program is to fund organizations that can deliver practical training and educational activities that help workers and employers recognize workplace hazards, avoid or reduce exposures, correct (abate) unsafe conditions, and prevent future injuries and illnesses. A key part of the program is also educational: grantees are expected to help workers understand their rights and help employers understand their responsibilities under Section 21 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). In other words, this is not general workforce training; it is focused specifically on occupational safety and health knowledge that can be applied directly to real workplace conditions.
For FY 2012, OSHA announced an estimated total of about $1.2 million available under the Susan Harwood Training Program. The funding is organized around specific grant categories, including Targeted Topic Training grants and Training and Educational Materials Development grants. While the short notice does not list the targeted topics themselves, the intent is clear: fund either direct training efforts on priority safety and health subjects and/or the development of training and educational materials that can be used to improve hazard awareness and prevention. Applicants are expected to consult the full announcement for the detailed requirements of each category, including what must be included in the application package and how projects should be structured.
Eligibility is centered on nonprofit capacity and subject-matter reach. OSHA allows nonprofit organizations to apply, including qualifying labor unions, trade or employer associations, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations, as long as the applicant is not an agency of a state or local government. State or local government supported institutions of higher education may also apply, consistent with the applicable federal administrative rules referenced in the notice (29 CFR Part 95). Organizations may apply on their own, or they may form partnerships; however, each organization in a partnership is treated as a prime grantee rather than as a subrecipient, and one organization must be designated as the lead for coordination with DOL and for receiving and disbursing funds. The notice is explicit that subgrants are not authorized, meaning applicants cannot pass the award through to other entities as sub-awards. Subcontracts may be used when necessary, but they must follow the federal procurement and competition standards referenced (including 29 CFR 95.40-48 and applicable Office of Management and Budget requirements), which generally require open and competitive purchasing practices to the maximum extent practicable.
There are also important compliance restrictions tied to nonprofit status and lobbying. Applicants other than qualifying public-supported higher education institutions must provide evidence of nonprofit status from the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the notice specifies that a 501(c)(4) organization that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive federal funds that would constitute an award, grant, or loan, referencing the statutory restriction in 2 U.S.C. 1611. This is a key screen for eligibility and is meant to prevent certain lobbying-active entities from being funded through this grant program.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on April 4, 2012, and applications were due on May 17, 2012. The submission process ran through Grants.gov, with a strict deadline: applications had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. OSHA also offered an application webinar on April 18, 2012 to help prospective applicants understand how to apply, with details provided via an attachment in Grants.gov. The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2012, which typically reflects the end of the active application window and the transition into review and award administration.
In the source listing, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number SHTG FY 12 01 and is associated with CFDA 17.502 (Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants). The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The agency contact listed for access issues with the full announcement is Kimberly Mason, Program Analyst, at 847-759-7700, with the note to email questions (though the email address itself is not included in the text provided).
