Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 22 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 effort authorized under Section 21 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The purpose is to strengthen the ability of eligible nonprofit organizations to deliver workplace safety and health training and education, especially for workers and employers who typically have the least access to high-quality occupational safety and health information. At its core, the program is about preventing injuries, illnesses, and fatalities by teaching hazard awareness, avoidance, and control, while also making sure workers understand their rights and employers understand their responsibilities under the OSH Act. It also supports training tied to workplace rights and protections against discrimination and retaliation related to safety and health concerns.
This particular funding announcement emphasizes reaching disadvantaged, underserved, low-income, hard-to-reach, and at-risk worker populations, especially in high-hazard industries or industries with higher fatality rates. OSHA highlights groups that have historically faced barriers to training, such as young workers, temporary workers, minority workers, workers with low literacy, and workers with limited English proficiency. A notable priority is expanding access through multilingual training, encouraging applicants to deliver training in languages other than English when that is what the target communities need. Applicants are expected to use proven outreach strategies while also proposing practical innovations that widen access to life-saving training.
Eligibility is geared toward nonprofit organizations and mission-driven entities that can credibly serve worker communities. Examples include qualifying labor unions, community-based and faith-based organizations, grassroots groups, employer associations, and certain Indigenous-serving entities such as Native American tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Native Hawaiian organizations, and other native-controlled organizations that are not state or local government agencies. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education are also included among eligible applicants. Across these organization types, OSHA is looking for applicants that can build or expand training infrastructure and demonstrate the capability to deliver adult education effectively, recruit participants, develop subject-matter expertise, and manage federal grant requirements.
Funding under this announcement supports a 12-month project period, beginning no later than September 30, 2022, and ending September 30, 2023. For FY 2022, OSHA announced up to $6.5 million available for Susan Harwood Training Program Capacity Building grants, with an expectation of multiple awards (the listing notes an estimated 80 awards). As with many federal opportunities, the announcement itself does not obligate funds; awards depend on federal appropriations and the formal execution of award documents. The maximum award amount depends on which of the two capacity-building tracks an applicant chooses: up to $180,000 for a Capacity Building Developmental grant and up to $80,000 for a Capacity Building Pilot grant.
The two tracks are designed for different stages of organizational readiness. The Capacity Building Developmental grant is meant for organizations that are prepared to build training capacity in a structured way over time and that can deliver multiple trainings. A key requirement is a four-year plan describing the training capacity the organization intends to build, effectively showing OSHA how the organization will grow its reach, systems, and effectiveness beyond the single project year. The Capacity Building Pilot grant, by contrast, is more of a stepping-stone for organizations that need to test and validate a training approach before scaling. Pilot applicants must describe the training program they want to build, and during the grant year they must test the plan by carrying out a limited portion of the proposed activities. Pilot grantees are required to conduct at least one pilot training on their chosen topic, and by the end of the pilot year they must develop a four-year plan so they are positioned to apply later for a Developmental grant.
Applicants should also be aware of limits on how many Susan Harwood awards an organization can hold in a single fiscal year. Generally, an organization is restricted to one award among the main Susan Harwood grant categories (Targeted Topic Training, Training and Educational Materials Development, Capacity Building Developmental, or Capacity Building Pilot) per fiscal year. If multiple applications for a capacity-building grant are submitted, OSHA will review only the last complete and viable application package received. The announcement also notes an exception allowing an organization to hold a FY 2021 or FY 2022 Susan Harwood infectious diseases/COVID-19 training award in addition to one of the other grant types listed.
OSHA makes clear that grantees will be actively monitored and are expected to participate in data collection and training impact evaluation activities described in the funding announcement. Oversight can include orientation meetings, reviews of training materials, observations of trainings, program and financial monitoring visits, and quarterly and year-end reporting. This signals that applicants should be ready not only to deliver training, but also to document outcomes, track participation, and manage compliance and reporting requirements typical of federal grants.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 17.502 (Employment, Labor and Training) from the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The opportunity number is SHTG FY 22 03. The application window opened with a creation date of June 17, 2022, and the closing deadline was August 1, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Applications had to be successfully submitted and validated through Grants.gov by the deadline; late submissions or those not validated were deemed ineligible. The announcement also states that once an application is submitted, it cannot be edited or corrected; any changes require submitting an entirely new application package before the deadline.Apply for SHTG FY 22 03
