Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant, FY 2015 (Targeted Topics) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Its purpose is to fund training and education efforts that help workers and employers better recognize workplace hazards, take practical steps to reduce or eliminate those hazards, and prevent injuries and illnesses before they happen. A core part of the program is also educational: making sure workers understand their rights under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) and that employers understand their responsibilities for providing safe and healthful workplaces. The grants are issued under Section 21 of the OSH Act, which is specifically focused on training and education as a tool for improving workplace safety and health outcomes.
This particular funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number SHTG FY 15 01) is focused on "Targeted Topics," meaning applicants are expected to center their proposed training around specific safety and health hazards or priority issues rather than broad, general training. OSHA anticipated awarding multiple grants under this announcement. In total, OSHA announced approximately $3.5 million available for the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program in FY 2015 when considering this FOA alongside a related announcement (SHTG FY 15 02), which also covered Capacity Building grants. Under SHTG FY 15 01, the two grant types available were Targeted Topic Training grants and Targeted Topic Training and Educational Materials Development grants. The first category is geared toward delivering training activities, while the second supports both delivering training and creating or improving educational materials tied to the targeted hazard areas.
Eligible applicants are primarily nonprofit organizations that are not agencies of state or local government. This includes qualifying labor unions, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and employer associations, so long as they meet the eligibility conditions. The opportunity is also open to Indian tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Indian-controlled organizations serving Indians, and Native Hawaiian organizations, consistent with Executive Order 13175. In addition, state or local government-supported institutions of higher education can apply under the applicable federal grant rules (including OMB 2 CFR 200 and DOL exceptions in 2 CFR 2900). Organizations may apply on their own, and partnerships are allowed, but each partner organization is treated as a prime grantee; one organization must be designated as the lead for coordination with DOL and for receiving and disbursing funds. Importantly, subgrants are not permitted under this program. Subcontracts may be used if needed, but they must follow federal procurement and competition requirements (including the referenced 29 CFR 95.40-48 and applicable OMB rules). There is also a specific restriction that a 501(c)(4) nonprofit that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive federal funds for an award, grant, or loan under this program, consistent with 2 U.S.C. 1611. Applicants (other than eligible state or local government-supported institutions of higher education) must provide evidence of nonprofit status as required in the full announcement.
The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants are not required to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds to be eligible. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is described as safety and health training and education. The CFDA number associated with the program is 17.502, Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants, which is useful for tracking the program across federal funding systems and for organizations that manage multiple federal awards.
Key dates for this FY 2015 competition include a posted and created date of April 9, 2015. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, June 2, 2015. The opportunity was archived on July 2, 2015, meaning it was no longer open for submission after the closing and processing period. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Jason Rasmussen, a Program Analyst, by phone at 847-759-7700, with additional instructions in the full Grants.gov posting for email questions.
