Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 21 03
The Capacity Building Developmental and Capacity Building Pilot opportunity is part of OSHA's Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, a long-running discretionary grant program authorized under Section 21 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. OSHA created the underlying 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 core purpose is to fund nonprofit organizations so they can expand and strengthen workplace safety and health training and education, especially for small business employers and workers. The trainings are meant to help people recognize workplace hazards, learn how to avoid and prevent them, and better understand worker rights and employer responsibilities under the OSH Act.
This specific funding announcement focuses on "capacity building," meaning OSHA is looking to invest in organizations that can either build foundational capability to deliver this kind of training or test-run (pilot) a capacity-building approach. Applicants are expected to show they can meet performance expectations described in the funding opportunity announcement, including practical experience working with subject matter experts, delivering and administering adult education and training programs, recruiting participants, and handling the administrative and financial responsibilities that come with federal grants. Awardees should also expect active oversight: OSHA tracks progress toward training goals and performance targets through orientation meetings, reviews of training materials, observations of trainings, program and financial monitoring visits, and routine reporting, including quarterly and end-of-year reports.
For fiscal year 2021, OSHA indicated that about $4.5 million was available in total for Susan Harwood Training Program Capacity Building grants, with multiple awards expected under this competitive announcement. The notice makes clear that the funding announcement itself does not commit federal funds; funds are only obligated once a recipient receives the award documents and formally acknowledges and accepts them. The program period is 12 months, with projects required to begin no later than September 30, 2021, and to end on September 30, 2022.
Two award types are offered under this opportunity. The Capacity Building Developmental grant has a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $180,000, while the Capacity Building Pilot grant has a maximum award amount of $80,000. The listing notes an expectation of many total awards (80 expected awards are referenced), reflecting OSHA's intent to fund multiple organizations rather than a small number of large projects.
There are important limits on how many Susan Harwood awards an organization can receive in a single fiscal year. An organization is restricted to one award among the Susan Harwood Targeted Topic Training grant, Training and Educational Materials Development grant, or Capacity Building grant in that year. If multiple applications are submitted anyway, OSHA will only review the last complete and viable application package submitted. However, an organization may still apply for and receive a separate Susan Harwood grant focused on workplace safety and health training on infectious diseases, including COVID-19, in addition to one of the other grant types mentioned above.
The application logistics are strict. Once an application is submitted, it cannot be edited, corrected, or revised; any changes require submitting an entirely new application package. The deadline for this funding opportunity was August 23, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, and applications not validated by Grants.gov or submitted after the deadline were deemed ineligible for consideration.
