Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 18 03
The Susan Harwood Capacity Building Developmental and Capacity Building Pilot grant opportunity is a competitive, discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It is authorized under Section 21(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and traces back to OSHA's discretionary grant program established in 1978. In 1997, the program was renamed to honor Susan Harwood, a former director in OSHA's Office of Risk Assessment. The central purpose of the program is to strengthen worker safety and health training by funding organizations that can develop and deliver education and training aimed especially at small business employers and workers. The training focus is practical and prevention-oriented: helping people recognize workplace hazards, avoid them, and prevent injuries and illnesses. A key part of the program is also rights and responsibilities education, making sure workers understand their protections under the OSH Act and employers understand their compliance obligations.
For fiscal year 2018, OSHA announced approximately $4.5 million available to support new Susan Harwood Training Program capacity building grants, with the note that awards depend on federal funding and appropriations. OSHA anticipated making multiple awards under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), and the FOA projected up to about 100 awards. Grants are designed to support a one-year project period, lasting 12 months, with work beginning no later than September 30, 2018 and ending on September 30, 2019. Within this announcement, OSHA offered two related capacity-building options. The Capacity Building Developmental grant is the larger award type, with a maximum (ceiling) of $165,000, intended for organizations building out or expanding their ability to create and deliver effective occupational safety and health training programs. The Capacity Building Pilot grant is smaller, capped at $80,000, and is meant to support pilot-level capacity building efforts that can demonstrate or test approaches on a more limited scale.
The FOA includes several important application and eligibility rules that can affect strategy. An organization may receive only one Susan Harwood Training grant award in a fiscal year, which prevents applicants from pursuing multiple awards simultaneously under the program during that year. If an organization submits more than one application anyway, OSHA will only review the last complete and viable application package submitted. Applicants are also warned to treat submissions as final: once an application is submitted, it cannot be edited or corrected. If changes are needed, the applicant must submit an entirely new application package, effectively replacing the earlier submission.
Eligibility is aimed at nonprofit and mission-driven entities that can credibly reach workers and small employers with safety and health education. Eligible applicants include 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. Institutions of higher education that are supported by state or local government can also be eligible, with eligibility governed by federal grants management rules under OMB 2 CFR 200 and Department of Labor exceptions in 2 CFR 2900. The FOA also explicitly includes tribal and Native-serving entities, consistent with Executive Order 13175, including Indian tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Indian-controlled organizations serving Indians, and Native Hawaiian organizations. Ineligible applicants include individuals, for-profit organizations, and 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations. The FOA also bars certain prior grantees: FY 2017 Susan Harwood grantees who received more than a 90-day time extension to their grant are not eligible under this announcement.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant under CFDA 17.502, issued by OSHA within the Department of Labor. The funding opportunity number is SHTG FY 18 03. The FOA was created on August 3, 2018, and the original closing date was September 2, 2018. Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov and validated by the system by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date; submissions that were late or not validated were deemed ineligible for consideration. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a one-year capacity-building investment that helps qualified nonprofits and related eligible organizations strengthen or pilot their ability to deliver OSHA-aligned training that reduces workplace hazards while improving awareness of worker rights and employer responsibilities under federal law.Apply for SHTG FY 18 03
