gov Under the authority of Section 21 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) established its discretionary grant program in 1978. In 1997, OSHA renamed the program in honor of the late Susan Harwood, former director of the OSHA Office of Risk Assessment.

The grant program offers eligible organizations the opportunity to compete annually for funding so they may develop and conduct training and educational programs for small business employers and workers. The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program supports eligible organizations’ efforts to provide occupational safety and health training.

These organizations train eligible workers and employers about workplace hazards, hazard avoidance, controls, worker rights, and employer responsibilities under the OSH Act. Funding is for a 12-month performance period beginning on September 30, 2026, and ending on September 30, 2027. The maximum Training and Educational Materials Development grant award is $95,000.

OSHA expects to award multiple grants under this competitive NOFO. This NOFO does not establish any funding obligations. Selected applicants will receive a notice of award.

Funds are obligated when a grant recipient acknowledges receipt and accepts the notice of award documents.

Nonprofit organizations including institutions of higher education; OSHA-approved State Plans that receive grants under section 23(g) of the OSH Act; entities that operate On-Site Consultation programs that receive grants under Section 21(d) of the OSH Act; and OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers authorized by OSHA under Section 21(c) of the OSH Act.

Faith-based organizations are encouraged to apply, as are any eligible organizations.

Those that meet the eligibility requirements may receive awards under this funding opportunity. DOL will not, in the selection of recipients and administration of the grant, discriminate on the basis of an organization's religious character, affiliation, exercise, or lack thereof, or on the basis of conduct that would not be considered grounds to favor or disfavor a similarly situated secular organization.
