Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 22 01
The Targeted Topic Training 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. Created in 1978 and renamed in 1997 to honor Susan Harwood, the program funds organizations that can develop and deliver practical occupational safety and health education. The basic goal is to reduce workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths by teaching people how to recognize hazards, avoid them, and control them, while also making sure workers understand their rights and employers understand their responsibilities under the OSH Act.
This specific FY 2022 funding announcement emphasizes reaching workers and employers who are most likely to be missed by traditional safety training efforts. Priority populations include disadvantaged, underserved, low-income, and other hard-to-reach workers, especially those employed in high-hazard industries or industries with high fatality rates. The announcement highlights groups that often face barriers to training access, such as young workers, temporary workers, minority workers, individuals with low literacy, and workers with limited English proficiency. OSHA also strongly encourages grantees to expand access by offering training in languages other than English so that life-saving information is not limited to English-speaking audiences.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with the capacity to run effective training programs, and the FOA explicitly names the types of organizations OSHA expects to serve in this role. These include qualifying labor unions, community-based organizations, faith-based and grassroots organizations, employer associations, and a range of Native-serving entities such as Native American tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Native Hawaiian organizations, and other native-controlled organizations that are not agencies of state or local government. Public or state-controlled institutions of higher education are also included as eligible entities. Beyond hazard control content, the program also supports education on workers' workplace rights and protections, including protections against discrimination and retaliation related to safety and health concerns.
Under the Targeted Topic Training track, applicants must propose a training project focused on one of OSHA's specified topics and aimed at an audience identified in the funding announcement. Successful proposals are expected to show that the applicant can actually reach the intended trainees and deliver effective adult education, including having access to subject matter experts, workable recruitment plans, and solid grant management systems. OSHA signals that it is looking both for proven outreach strategies that reliably connect with the target populations and for innovative approaches that expand access, especially where traditional channels have not worked well.
Awards come with ongoing accountability and oversight. Grantees must participate in data collection and training impact evaluations described in the FOA, and OSHA monitors performance throughout the grant period. Monitoring can include orientation meetings, reviews of training materials, observations of trainings, programmatic and financial monitoring visits, and review of required quarterly and end-of-year reports. In other words, this is not just a funding source for producing a training idea on paper; it is structured around delivery, measurable outputs, and continuous compliance with program expectations.
For FY 2022, OSHA announced a total of $11,787,000 available to fund new Susan Harwood Training Program grants, contingent on federal appropriations. OSHA anticipated making multiple awards under this competitive announcement, with an expected 80 awards listed in the opportunity data. The period of performance is 12 months, beginning no later than September 30, 2022, and ending September 30, 2023. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) for a Targeted Topic Training grant is $160,000.
The application and eligibility rules are also fairly strict. An organization is limited to one Susan Harwood award per fiscal year across the Targeted Topic Training, Training and Educational Materials Development, or Capacity Building categories; if multiple applications are submitted across those categories, OSHA will only review the last complete and viable package submitted. However, an organization may also hold a separate Susan Harwood award focused on workplace safety and health training on infectious diseases, including COVID-19, in addition to one of the other awards. The FOA also makes clear that once an application is submitted it cannot be edited; changes require submitting an entirely new application package.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary grant (CFDA 17.502) administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA. The funding opportunity number is SHTG FY 22 01, created June 17, 2022. The closing deadline was August 1, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, and applications had to be successfully validated by Grants.gov by that deadline to be eligible. The FOA also notes that the announcement itself does not obligate federal funds; funds are obligated only when a selected recipient receives and accepts the award documents.Apply for SHTG FY 22 01
