Opportunity Information: Apply for SHTG FY 23 02
The Training and Educational Materials Development opportunity is part of OSHA's long-running Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, a discretionary grant program authorized under Section 21 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Started in 1978 and renamed in 1997 to honor Susan Harwood, the program funds nonprofit and other qualifying organizations to create and deliver occupational safety and health training and education, with a strong emphasis on reaching small business employers and workers who face elevated risks on the job.
The core purpose of this specific grant category is to support the development of brand-new training and educational materials that address one of OSHA's specified training topics. The intent is practical and outcomes-focused: improve hazard awareness, avoidance, and control, while also helping workers understand their rights and helping employers understand their responsibilities under the OSH Act. The program aligns with the Department of Labor's Good Jobs Initiative by prioritizing training that improves job quality and protects workers, especially those who have historically had limited access to effective safety and health training.
A central priority is expanding access for workers in high-hazard industries, industries with high fatality rates, and communities that are often underserved or harder to reach. The announcement specifically calls out groups such as young workers, temporary workers, racial and ethnic minorities, low-literacy workers, and people with limited English proficiency, among others. OSHA encourages grantees to offer training in languages other than English to remove barriers and make life-saving information more usable for the people who need it most. Applicants are expected to propose strategies that have a track record of reaching these target populations, while also bringing forward innovative ideas that can broaden access and participation.
Eligible applicants are primarily nonprofit organizations and certain other qualifying entities that are positioned to serve worker communities. Examples listed include labor unions, community-based organizations, faith-based and grassroots groups, employer associations, and various Native-serving entities (such as Native American tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Native Hawaiian organizations, and native-controlled organizations that are not agencies of state or local government). Public or state-controlled institutions of higher education are also eligible. OSHA makes clear that it is looking for organizations that can demonstrate they have the capacity to meet performance expectations, including the ability to use subject matter experts, run adult training programs, recruit participants, and properly manage federal grant funds.
For FY 2023, OSHA announced a total of $12,787,000 available for new Susan Harwood Training Program grants across the program, with multiple awards anticipated under this competitive funding opportunity announcement. The maximum award amount for a Training and Educational Materials Development grant is $75,000, and the expected number of awards listed is 90. The performance period is 12 months, beginning no later than September 30, 2023, and ending on September 30, 2024. Like many federal opportunities, the FOA itself does not obligate funds; funding becomes obligated only after an award is made and the recipient formally accepts the award documents. Awards are also contingent on federal funding and appropriations.
The deliverables for this grant are detailed and structured, reflecting that the end product should be ready for real-world use. Applicants must develop complete training packages that include learning objectives, course matrices, presentation and training materials (including videos), instructor and participant guides, student handouts, training evaluations, and learning assessments. Beyond creating the materials, grantees must validate them by conducting a pilot instructor-led classroom training session, which helps ensure the content is usable, understandable, and effective for the intended audience.
OSHA also signals that accountability and measurement are built into the program. Grantees must participate in data collection and training impact evaluation activities described in the FOA. After awards are made, OSHA monitors progress through a combination of orientation meetings, reviews of training materials, observation of training sessions, programmatic and financial monitoring visits, and reviews of quarterly and year-end reports. This oversight is meant to confirm that grantees are meeting their training targets and performance goals and are managing funds appropriately.
Administrative rules in the announcement limit how many Susan Harwood awards an organization can hold in a fiscal year. An organization may receive only one of the following in a given fiscal year: a Targeted Topic Training grant, a Training and Educational Materials Development grant, or a Capacity Building grant. If multiple applications are submitted across these categories, OSHA will review the last complete and viable application submitted. However, the FOA notes that an organization may also hold a separate Susan Harwood Workplace Safety and Health Training on Infectious Diseases, Including COVID-19 grant in addition to one of the other grant types.
