Susan Harwood Training Grant Program

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Withdrawal of request for grant applications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, OSHA makes two 
types of grants to non-profit institutions. Institutional Competency 
Building grants, under which the solicitation for proposals was 
published on August 17, 2000, at 65 FR 50220-50223, are intended to 
encourage the development of institutional competence in occupational 
safety and health issues among private, nonprofit institutions over a 
3-5 year period. OSHA has also made Targeted Training grants available 
to nonprofit institutions to develop training sources and materials 
relating to specific occupational safety or health topics. Targeted 
Training grants typically have been one-time grants intended to fund 
the development of a specific training-related resource or service. 
OSHA is currently reassessing its priorities between these two types of 
grants and is considering which of these types of grants will produce 
the more direct and immediate impact on worker safety, and will be 
sustainable by OSHA in light of the funding likely to be available for 
longer-term grants. Accordingly, OSHA is withdrawing the August 17, 
2000 solicitation for proposals under the Susan Harwood Training Grant 
Program, and intends to issue a new solicitation for grant proposals by 
nonprofit institutions in the near future.
