$4.7 million in grants available for training
Proposals are being accepted until Oct. 27, 2000, for $4.7 million in grants to nonprofit organizations for safety and health training under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Susan Harwood Training Grants program.
OSHA is seeking proposals that target immigrant, contingent, and other vulnerable workers; small business employers and employees; and workers in jobs with high-risk activities or hazards, such as the construction industry.
These grants may be funded for up to five years with an average first-year federal award of $250,000.
Organizations that get the grants must contribute a minimum of 10% for the first year of the grant. The non-federal matching share will be increased by 5% each subsequent year of the award, for a maximum of 30% if a grant is extended to the fifth year.
Grant application instructions are available from the OSHA Office of Training and Education, Division of Training and Educational Programs, 1555 Times Drive, Des Plaines, Ill. 60018. Tele-phone: (847) 297-4810.
Instructions also are on the Internet: www.osha.gov under training. Grant applications are due in the Des Plaines office by 4:30 p.m. Central time, Oct. 27. Applications also may be sent via fax: (847) 297-6636.
