Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant, FY 2013 (Targeted Topics) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Its core purpose is to fund training and education efforts that help workers and employers recognize workplace safety and health hazards, avoid or control those hazards, and prevent injuries and illnesses. The program also emphasizes educating workers about their rights and employers about their responsibilities under Section 21 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act), tying the training directly to practical compliance and safer workplace practices.
This FY 2013 announcement makes about $1.5 million available in total and anticipates making multiple awards. Funding is offered under two related grant categories: Targeted Topic Training grants and Targeted Topic Training and Educational Materials Development grants. In general terms, the first category supports direct delivery of training on specific safety and health topics, while the second supports developing or improving training and educational materials in addition to education efforts. The announcement indicates that applicants should consult the full Grants.gov posting for the complete breakdown of each category and the specific application components required.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at nonprofit organizations that can credibly deliver safety and health training to workers and/or employers. Eligible applicants include qualifying labor unions, trade and employer associations, and community-based and faith-based organizations, so long as they are not an agency of a state or local government. State or local government-supported institutions of higher education are also eligible under the federal administrative framework in 29 CFR Part 95. Applicants (other than those eligible public-supported higher education institutions) must provide evidence of nonprofit status from the IRS. The notice also highlights an important statutory restriction: a 501(c)(4) nonprofit that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive federal funds that constitute an award, grant, or loan (referencing 2 U.S.C. 1611).
The program rules described in the announcement place clear boundaries on how projects can be structured. Eligible organizations may apply on their own, and partnerships are permitted, but with a key distinction: each participating organization in a partnership is treated as a prime grantee rather than a subrecipient, and one organization must be designated as the lead for coordination with DOL and for receiving and disbursing funds. Subgrants are explicitly not authorized under this opportunity, which means an awardee cannot pass through grant funds to other entities as subawards. Subcontracts may be used when necessary, but they must follow the procurement and competition requirements referenced in 29 CFR 95.40 through 95.48 and applicable Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circulars, which generally require full and open competition to the maximum extent practicable.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number SHTG FY 13 02 and is associated with CFDA number 17.502 (Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted on May 15, 2013, with an application deadline of June 13, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on that date, and the notice states plainly that extensions would not be granted. The opportunity was archived on July 13, 2013.
