Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 18 02
The Susan Harwood Training and Educational Materials Development grant is a competitive funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under Section 21(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. OSHA first created this discretionary grant program in 1978 and later renamed it in 1997 to honor Susan Harwood, a former director in OSHA's Office of Risk Assessment. The overall purpose of the Susan Harwood Training Program is to strengthen workplace safety and health by supporting organizations that can educate small business employers and workers on how to recognize, avoid, and prevent job-related hazards, while also helping workers understand their rights and employers understand their responsibilities under the OSH Act.
For fiscal year 2018, OSHA announced about $10.5 million in total funding available for new Susan Harwood Training Program grants, contingent on federal appropriations. OSHA anticipated making multiple awards under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), with an estimated 100 awards across the program. This specific FOA targets the "Training and Educational Materials Development" grant type, which has a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $75,000. The performance period is 12 months, with projects required to begin no later than September 30, 2018, and to end on September 30, 2019.
This grant category is focused specifically on creating new training products rather than simply delivering existing curriculum. Applicants are required to propose the development of new training materials that address one of OSHA's specified training topics. The required deliverables are fairly comprehensive and go beyond a slide deck: materials must include clear learning objectives, course matrices, presentation and training materials (including videos), instructor and participant guides, student handouts, training evaluations, and tools to assess learning. A key requirement is that the grantee must validate the newly developed training materials through a live classroom training session, meaning the products have to be tested in real-world instruction rather than remaining unpiloted or purely conceptual.
OSHA also set firm application and submission rules. An organization can receive only one Susan Harwood Training grant award in a fiscal year. If an organization submits more than one application, OSHA will only review the last complete and viable application package received. Another important constraint is that once an application is submitted, it cannot be edited or corrected; applicants who need to make changes must submit an entirely new application package before the deadline. The FOA deadline for FY 2018 was September 2, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, and applications that were late or not validated by Grants.gov were considered ineligible.
Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofit organizations, with several categories explicitly mentioned as eligible: qualifying labor unions, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and employer associations, as long as they are not agencies of state or local government. State- or local-government supported institutions of higher education may apply under the applicable federal grant rules (OMB 2 CFR 200) and Department of Labor exceptions (2 CFR 2900). The FOA also recognizes eligibility for Indian tribes and related entities, including tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Indian-controlled organizations serving Indians, and Native Hawaiian organizations, consistent with Executive Order 13175. Ineligible applicants include individuals, for-profit organizations, 501(c)(4) nonprofits, and certain prior grantees (specifically FY 2017 Susan Harwood grantees that received a 90-day extension to their grant performance period).
In short, this opportunity provides modest, targeted funding (up to $75,000) to help eligible nonprofits and certain educational or tribal entities build and pilot brand-new OSHA-topic training packages that can be used to improve hazard awareness and prevention, especially for small businesses and workers, while reinforcing rights and responsibilities under federal workplace safety law. Key identifiers for the opportunity include the title "Susan Harwood Training and Educational Materials Development," the opportunity number "SHTG FY 18 02," and the CFDA number 17.502.Apply for SHTG FY 18 02
