Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 19 01
The Susan Harwood Targeted Topic Training Grants are part of OSHA's long-running discretionary grant program, created under Section 21(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The program began in 1978 and was renamed in 1997 to honor Susan Harwood, a former director in OSHA's Office of Risk Assessment. The core purpose of these grants is to fund organizations that can develop and deliver practical training and educational programs that help small business employers and workers recognize workplace hazards, avoid them, and prevent injuries and illnesses. A second, equally important goal is education on legal rights and responsibilities under the OSH Act, meaning workers learn about protections available to them while employers learn what is expected of them.
For fiscal year 2019, OSHA announced roughly $10.5 million available for new Susan Harwood Training Program awards, with the understanding that funding depends on federal appropriations. OSHA anticipated making multiple awards through this competitive Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), with an estimated 80 awards. The specific grant type described here is the Targeted Topic Training grant, which has an award ceiling of $160,000 per grant. Each award supports a 12-month project period that must begin no later than September 30, 2019, and ends September 30, 2020.
Applications under this FOA needed to focus on developing and conducting training tied to one of OSHA's specified training topics and aimed at an audience identified in the opportunity. While the full list of topics and audiences is not included in the text provided, the structure makes clear that applicants were expected to design a training program around a defined OSHA priority topic rather than proposing a broad or unrelated safety curriculum. OSHA also limited organizations to one Susan Harwood Training grant award per fiscal year. If an organization submitted more than one application, OSHA stated it would only review the last complete and viable application package received, so multiple submissions were not treated as multiple chances. Another key administrative detail is that once an application was submitted, it could not be edited or corrected; the only way to change anything was to submit an entirely new application package.
Eligibility was limited mainly to nonprofit entities that are positioned to reach workers and small employers with credible, on-the-ground training capacity. Eligible applicants included qualifying labor unions, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and employer associations, as long as the association was not a state or local government agency. State- or local-government-supported institutions of higher education could apply under the federal assistance rules in OMB 2 CFR 200, along with the Department of Labor's exceptions in 2 CFR 2900. In addition, Indian tribes and related Indigenous-serving entities were eligible, including tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Indian-controlled organizations serving Indians, and Native Hawaiian organizations, consistent with Executive Order 13175.
Several applicant types were explicitly excluded. Individuals could not apply, nor could for-profit organizations. The FOA also excluded 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations. Finally, the opportunity barred certain recent grantees: FY 2018 Susan Harwood grantees that had received more than a 90-day time extension on their prior grant were ineligible to compete under this FOA.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted by the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as a discretionary grant competition (CFDA 17.502). The opportunity number was SHTG FY 19 01. The FOA was created May 3, 2019, and the application deadline was July 2, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov and validated by the system by the deadline; late submissions or submissions not validated were deemed ineligible for consideration.Apply for SHTG FY 19 01
