Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 20 03
The Capacity Building Developmental and Capacity Building Pilot opportunity is part of the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, a long-running discretionary grant program authorized under Section 21(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Originally established in 1978 and renamed in 1997 to honor Susan Harwood, the program is designed to strengthen workplace safety and health through training and education. The core purpose is to help nonprofit organizations develop and deliver training for small business employers and workers focused on recognizing hazards, avoiding and preventing injuries and illnesses, and understanding rights and responsibilities under the OSH Act.
This particular Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), numbered SHTG FY 20 03, supports “capacity building” efforts, meaning it is aimed at helping eligible organizations build or expand their ability to provide effective occupational safety and health training. OSHA is looking for organizations that can demonstrate they have, or can develop, the operational capability to meet performance expectations such as using qualified subject matter experts, designing and delivering adult learning programs, recruiting and managing training participants, and administering federal grant funds responsibly. In other words, applicants are expected to show they can run training programs credibly and at scale, not just propose good ideas on paper.
For FY 2020, OSHA announced approximately $4.5 million available for these capacity building grants, with an expectation of making multiple awards (the listing indicates an estimated 80 awards). Funding is competitive and contingent on federal appropriations; the FOA itself does not obligate funds until an award is made and the recipient accepts the award documents. The period of performance is 12 months, starting no later than September 30, 2020, and ending September 30, 2021.
Two grant tracks are offered. The Capacity Building Developmental grant has a maximum award of $180,000 and is generally geared toward organizations that need more substantial support to build training infrastructure and meet program expectations. The Capacity Building Pilot grant has a maximum award of $80,000 and is oriented toward more limited-scale efforts, typically allowing an organization to test or pilot capacity-building approaches before expanding. Both tracks fall under CFDA 17.502 (Employment, Labor and Training) and use a grant funding instrument.
OSHA also emphasizes close oversight and accountability once awards are made. Recipients can expect active monitoring through orientation sessions, review of training materials, observations of trainings, programmatic and financial monitoring visits, and required reporting (including quarterly and year-end reports). This monitoring structure is meant to ensure the funded training is high quality, delivered as proposed, and producing measurable results aligned with OSHA’s safety and health training goals.
Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,” with details provided in the FOA’s additional eligibility information, but the opportunity is framed around nonprofit organizations competing annually to deliver training and education for workers and small employers. Applications were due through Grants.gov, with a hard deadline of July 20, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time; applications submitted late or not validated by Grants.gov were deemed ineligible.Apply for SHTG FY 20 03
