Opportunity Summary:
The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program (FY 2012) Capacity Building Developmental grants are a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The purpose of this funding is to strengthen and expand the ability of eligible organizations to deliver workplace safety and health training and education. The training supported through these grants is meant to help workers and employers recognize, avoid, abate, prevent, and control workplace hazards, while also improving understanding of worker rights and employer responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act. In practical terms, OSHA is funding organizations that can build out sustainable training capacity and provide effective education that reduces injuries, illnesses, and unsafe working conditions.
OSHA announced approximately $1.1 million in total funding for these Capacity Building Developmental grants under this solicitation. The program is cataloged under CFDA 17.502 (Occupational Safety and Health Susan Harwood Training Grants). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, which means applicants are not required to provide a formal match as a condition of the award. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity focus is safety and health training and education.
Eligibility is centered on nonprofit organizations that are not agencies of state or local government. This includes qualifying labor unions, trade and employer associations, and community-based and faith-based organizations, as long as they meet the program requirements. In addition, state or local government supported institutions of higher education are eligible to apply, consistent with the administrative rules referenced at 29 CFR Part 95. Applicants that are not state or locally supported institutions of higher education must provide evidence of nonprofit status from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The announcement also specifically excludes certain entities: a 501(c)(4) organization that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive federal funding under this award (referencing the restriction in 2 U.S.C. 1611). This is an important compliance point for applicants with advocacy-related activities, since eligibility can be affected by lobbying status.
The opportunity allows eligible organizations to apply on their own or as part of a partnership structure. If multiple organizations collaborate, each participating organization may be treated as a prime grantee, but one organization must be designated as the lead for coordination with DOL and for handling receipt and disbursement of funds. If the project includes subcontracts, procurement must follow federal standards, including the competition requirements described in 29 CFR 95.40 through 95.48 and relevant Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circular guidance, which generally requires full and open competition to the maximum extent practicable.
A notable feature of this solicitation is the evaluation preference for organizations that have recently and successfully completed an occupational safety and health training pilot grant. In other words, applicants that can show they have already tested and delivered a pilot safety and health training effort, and completed it successfully, may be viewed more favorably during the review process. OSHA points to the Susan Harwood Capacity Building Pilot grants as one example of the type of pilot experience that could satisfy this preference. The intent behind this preference is to prioritize applicants that have demonstrated readiness and proven implementation capability, and are now positioned to move from a pilot phase into a stronger, more durable training program through developmental capacity-building support.
Key dates for this FY 2012 posting include a posted date of July 11, 2012, with an application deadline (closing date) of August 10, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, August 10, 2012. The opportunity archive date is listed as September 9, 2012, indicating when the listing would no longer be active for new submissions.
