Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant, FY 2014 (Targeted Topics) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Its core purpose is to fund training and education programs that help workers and employers recognize workplace hazards, avoid them, control or abate them, and prevent injuries and illnesses before they occur. A central theme of the program is practical, workplace-focused education that also improves awareness of rights and responsibilities under Section 21 of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, meaning workers learn about protections available to them and employers learn about their compliance duties.
Funding for this solicitation was announced at approximately $3.5 million in total, with the expectation that OSHA would make multiple awards rather than a single large grant. The announcement covers two main grant categories: Targeted Topic Training, which supports the delivery of training on selected safety and health topics, and Targeted Topic Training and Educational Materials Development, which supports creating training curricula and educational materials in addition to related education efforts. The activity category is described as safety and health training and education, and the relevant CFDA listing is 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 stated for applicants.
Eligibility is focused on nonprofit organizations that can reach workers and employers with credible, effective safety and health education. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations such as qualifying labor unions, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and employer associations, 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 under the rules in 29 CFR Part 95. Organizations may apply on their own, and partnership arrangements are allowed; however, each participating organization in a partnership is treated as a prime grantee, with one organization designated as the lead for communication with DOL and for receiving and disbursing funds. The program does not authorize subgrants, which means grantees cannot pass through grant funds to other entities as subrecipients. Subcontracts may be used if needed, but they must follow federal procurement and competition requirements, including 29 CFR 95.40 through 95.48 and applicable Office of Management and Budget circulars that call for full and open competition to the maximum extent practicable.
There are also important restrictions tied to organizational status and federal lobbying rules. Applicants that are not state or local government supported institutions of higher education must provide evidence of nonprofit status as described in the full announcement. Separately, a 501(c)(4) organization that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive federal funds under this award, consistent with federal restrictions referenced in the notice (2 U.S.C. 1611). These requirements are meant to ensure awards go to eligible entities and that federal funds are used for training and educational purposes consistent with the program statute.
Key administrative dates included a posted and creation date of May 14, 2014, with an application deadline of June 30, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The opportunity was set to be archived on July 30, 2014. The funding opportunity number is SHTG FY 14 01, and the official title is Susan Harwood Training Grant, FY 2014 (Targeted Topics). For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice listed a point of contact: Heather Wanderski, Program Analyst, at 847-759-7700, with email inquiries directed as indicated in the full listing.
Overall, this opportunity is designed for nonprofit and eligible higher education institutions with the capacity to deliver high-quality occupational safety and health training or to develop training materials on targeted hazards, with the broader goal of preventing workplace harm while strengthening understanding of OSHA-related rights and responsibilities.
