The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program funds eligible nonprofit organizations to develop new training capabilities, training materials, and training delivery on the recognition, abatement, and prevention of occupational safety and health hazards in workplaces that may include providing related assistance to the trainee. Capacity Building grants financially support organizations in planning and evaluating their ability to provide occupational safety and health training.
In order to fund those organizations most in need of developing an occupational safety and health training capacity, as well those organizations best positioned to reach historically disadvantaged and at-risk workers, competitive preference priorities will be given to non-profit applicants with an annual operating budget of less than $500,000, Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and community colleges. Applicants should respond to this competitive preference priority in their organizational description.
