Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program FY 2011 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), to fund safety and health training and education. The core purpose is to support programs that teach workers and employers how to recognize workplace hazards, avoid and control those hazards, and prevent injuries and illnesses. The program also emphasizes education on rights and responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, meaning trainings should not only cover technical hazard information but also help workers understand protections available to them and help employers understand their compliance obligations.
OSHA anticipated awarding about $4.7 million in total funding across roughly 50 grants. Funding is organized into several grant categories: Capacity Building Developmental, Capacity Building Pilot, Targeted Topic, and Training and Educational Materials Development. While the notice does not lay out the detailed scope of each category in the excerpt, the naming reflects a mix of (1) building an organization or community group s ability to deliver OSHA-style training, (2) piloting approaches that can be replicated or scaled, (3) focusing training on particular high priority hazards or worker populations, and (4) developing training or educational materials that can be used to deliver consistent, high-quality instruction.
Eligible applicants are primarily nonprofit organizations that are not agencies of state or local government. This includes qualifying trade associations, labor unions, employer associations, and community-based and faith-based organizations. In addition, state or local government supported institutions of higher education may apply under the federal assistance rules at 29 CFR Part 95. Applicants may apply on their own or in partnership with other eligible organizations, but the application must clearly identify a single lead organization. The program does not allow subgrants, meaning recipients cannot pass award funds through to other entities as sub-awards. Subcontracts are allowed when necessary, but they must follow applicable federal procurement standards, including competition requirements referenced in 29 CFR 95.40 through 95.48 and relevant OMB circular guidance, to ensure full and open competition to the maximum extent practicable.
There are also notable eligibility restrictions and documentation requirements. A 501(c)(4) organization that engages in lobbying is not eligible to receive federal funds for an award, grant, or loan under this program (referenced to 2 U.S.C. 1611). Organizations applying that are not state or locally supported institutions of higher education must provide evidence of nonprofit status from the Internal Revenue Service. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 17.502, Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants, and it does not require cost sharing or a matching contribution.
The application process required electronic submission through Grants.gov, with a firm deadline of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, July 20, 2011. The opportunity was posted June 15, 2011, and archived September 30, 2011. For assistance accessing the full announcement or addressing application issues, OSHA listed Kimberly Mason, Program Analyst, as the contact (phone 847-759-7700, email HarwoodGrants@dol.gov).
