Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program FY 2010 was a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to strengthen workplace safety and health training nationwide. For FY 2010, OSHA announced an estimated total of $8,000,000 in competitive grant funding, with an expectation of roughly 30 awards. The overall purpose was capacity building: helping eligible organizations build or expand their ability to deliver occupational safety and health training, education, and related assistance to workers and employers, particularly in ways that improve hazard awareness and prevention practices.
OSHA structured the capacity-building awards into two main grant types. Pilot grants were meant for organizations that were not yet ready to launch a full-scale training program and needed time and resources to assess local needs, identify target audiences, and create a workable plan for delivering safety and health education. In other words, pilot funding supported the upfront work of planning, designing, and preparing a program that could later be implemented at a broader scale. Developmental grants, by contrast, were intended for organizations that already had a functioning training capability and were seeking to expand, strengthen, or otherwise develop that capacity further. These grants supported growth and enhancement of existing training and assistance programs rather than initial exploration and planning.
Eligibility was focused on nonprofits and similar mission-driven entities that could credibly deliver worker and employer training. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations, qualifying labor unions, and community-based and faith-based organizations, so long as they were not agencies of state or local government. In addition, state- or local-government-supported institutions of higher education could apply under the applicable federal assistance rules (referenced as 29 CFR part 95). Organizations were allowed to apply either independently or in partnership with other eligible entities, but in any partnership the lead organization had to be clearly identified. The program explicitly did not allow subgrants, meaning applicants could not pass funds through to subrecipients as subawards; however, subcontracts could be used when necessary, as long as procurement followed federal requirements emphasizing full and open competition to the maximum extent practicable (referencing 29 CFR 95.40-48 and relevant OMB circulars).
Several compliance and documentation expectations were highlighted. Applicants other than qualifying government-supported higher education institutions were required to provide evidence of nonprofit status from the IRS. The solicitation also noted a statutory restriction affecting certain advocacy organizations: a 501(c)(4) nonprofit that engages in lobbying activities was not eligible to receive federal funds under this opportunity (citing 1 U.S.C. 1611). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduced the financial barrier to participation for smaller or resource-constrained organizations.
Administratively, the opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number SHTG FY 10 01, within CFDA 17.502 (Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants). The grant was posted May 27, 2010, with an application closing date of July 2, 2010, and an archive date of September 30, 2010. OSHA also indicated that a separate solicitation covering "Targeted Topics" would be released later, signaling that this specific announcement centered on capacity-building efforts rather than topic-specific training competitions.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, OSHA provided contacts in its Office of Training and Educational Programs, including Linda Vosburgh (Program Analyst) and Jim Barnes (Director), both reachable at 847-759-7700, along with an additional information link labeled "Susan Harwood Capacity Building Instructions."
