Susan Harwood Training Grants Program Background Information OSHA awards grants on a competitive basis through its Susan Harwood Training Grant Program. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations to provide training and education programs or to develop training materials for employers and workers on the recognition, avoidance, and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplaces. OSHA selects the safety and health topics and holds a national competition to award grants in two different categories: Targeted Topic Training Category Grants OSHA expects Targeted Topic training grantees to provide occupational safety and health training programs on topics selected by OSHA, develop training and/or educational programs, recruit workers and employers for the training, and conduct and evaluate the training. Grantees are also expected to follow-up with people who have been trained by their programs to find out what, if any, changes were made to reduce hazards in their workplaces as a result of the training. Training Materials Development Category Grants OSHA expects Training Materials Development grantees to develop, evaluate and validate training materials on occupational safety and health topics selected by OSHA. The training materials must be classroom quality and ready for immediate use in the classroom or worksite or for self-study. Training materials are to be developed in portable formats suitable for both hard-copy and Internet publication and distribution. OSHA requires grantees to post the training materials on their organization's Web site for two years after receiving OSHA approval of their final products, and provide access to users at no cost. Organizations are also required to collect and report to OSHA on training materials product usage during the two years the materials are posted on their Web sites. There is a factsheet that provides more information about the grant program. Eligibility Nonprofit organizations, including community and faith-based organizations, that are not an agency of State or local government, are eligible to apply. State and local government supported institutions of higher education are also eligible to apply. 2005 Request for Grant Applications OSHA will post the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program announcement and grant solicitation for fiscal year 2005 at this location on the OSHA web-site as soon is the information is available.
