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 opportunities for nonprofit organizations 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 aims to advance the job quality of the American workforce by providing disadvantaged, underserved, low-income, or other hard-to-reach, at-risk workers with hazard awareness, avoidance, and control training to protect them from on-the-job hazards, and to inform workers of their rights and employers of their responsibilities under the OSH Act. The program and this funding opportunity announcement prioritizes investment and funding to train workers and employers impacted by working in high-hazard industries, industries with high fatality rates, or whose workforce has historically had disadvantaged access to occupational safety and health training, including young workers, temporary, minority, low literacy, limited-English speaking, and other disadvantaged and hard-to-reach workers and worker communities. The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program seeks to increase access to life-saving training by encouraging grantees to provide the training in other languages. Technical assistance, guidance, and support for this funding opportunity is presented in OSHAs FY 2024 Susan Harwood Training Grant Funding Opportunity Overview available at: www.osha.gov/harwoodgrants/applicant-information. The program is designed to support and enable nonprofit organizations efforts to provide this important occupational safety and health training to disadvantaged workers. These nonprofit organizations include qualifying labor unions, community-based, faith-based, and grassroots organizations; employer associations; Native American tribes; tribal Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and native-controlled organizations that are not an agency of a state or local government; and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. The program provides education and training on advancement of workers workplace rights and protections against discrimination and reprisal. The Susan Harwood Training Grant Program seeks applications based on proven strategies to reach the target training populations while also developing innovative solutions to expand access.

The National Paralysis Resource Center opportunity is a federal funding initiative administered by the Administration for Community Living within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically through the Office of Disability Services Innovation. This program is authorized under the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Act and the Public Health Service Act, reflecting a long-standing federal commitment to improving the health, independence, and quality of life of individuals living with paralysis. The initiative supports the operation of a national resource center that provides trusted information, peer support, and community-based services to individuals with paralysis, their families, caregivers, and broader support networks. The primary purpose of this funding opportunity is to establish and operate a nationally recognized resource center that serves as a centralized hub for information, referral services, and community capacity building. The center is expected to deliver accessible digital resources, real-time assistance through trained specialists, and peer support programming. It must also administer a national subaward program to fund community-based organizations that improve quality of life outcomes. The program emphasizes independence, informed decision-making, and full participation in community life, while also addressing systemic barriers that individuals with paralysis face in accessing services and supports. Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, with substantial involvement from the federal agency throughout the project period. The total program funding is up to 30000000 dollars over three years, with up to 10000000 dollars available annually. The award supports a wide range of allowable activities, including information dissemination, outreach, peer support, subawards to community organizations, and performance evaluation systems. However, funds cannot be used for construction, direct medical services, or basic research. There is no cost-sharing requirement, although voluntary contributions may be included but are not considered in the review process. Eligible applicants include domestic nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, tribal entities, hospitals, institutions of higher education, and community-based organizations. Individuals and foreign entities are not eligible. Applicants must demonstrate the capacity to operate a national program, including managing a large-scale subaward program that distributes at least 35 percent of annual funding to community-based organizations. Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov and require multiple components, including a project narrative, budget narrative, federal forms, and supporting documentation such as commitment letters and proof of nonprofit status. The application process includes preparation steps such as obtaining active registrations in SAM.gov and Grants.gov. The submission deadline is July 16, 2026 at 1159 pm Eastern Time. Applications undergo an initial compliance review followed by a merit-based evaluation using criteria such as relevance, approach, impact, organizational capacity, and budget justification. Awards are expected to be announced by September 1, 2026, with the project period beginning the same date and continuing through August 31, 2029. Evaluation of funded projects includes both process and outcome assessments, with required reporting to the funding agency twice per year. The funded entity must also establish a public dashboard to track program outputs and outcomes starting in the second year. The cooperative agreement requires ongoing collaboration with the agency, adherence to federal regulations, and active engagement with stakeholders, including individuals with paralysis. Contact information for programmatic and budget inquiries is provided through named agency representatives, and applicants are encouraged to seek clarification as needed during the application process.

The U.S. Department of State through Embassy Bridgetown announces an open competition for a project to strengthen independent medias ability to increase access to objective and quality information in the Eastern Caribbean. Media outlets across the Caribbean face challenges including declining revenue sources and expensive operating environments. These challenges are compounded by the fact that many outlets have been traditionally under resourced. Media enterprises are suffering loss of advertising revenue and other funding streams. Many media houses also have gaps in adapting to the financial and editorial challenges of the current age and may lack fully developed business plans, leaving the outlets open to potential malign influence or interference efforts. Outlets also lack up-to-date equipment, computers, and software, hampering their ability to produce high-quality and timely content. Further, many operate under austere conditions and struggle to produce enough original, local content, exacerbating their vulnerability to disinformation, propaganda, and co-optation. Assistance is needed to ensure that journalists, outlets, and other media-related institutions have access to the training, networks, content, and equipment they need to resist false narratives and maintain a free and diverse media ecosystem. Embassy Bridgetown and partners seek to build the capacity of Eastern Caribbean media outlets using a third-party implementer. The implementer will scope its approach based on the following lines of efforts: Training and capacity building: training to include but not limited to: methods to increase content production on a wide range of stories, how to expand reach and advertising revenue, how to develop sustainable business models and plans, fact checking and other core journalistic skills, identifying and countering disinformation, and better educating the general public on how to spot disinformation. A training centered around World Press Freedom Day and multimedia training will be built into the program deliverables. Mentorship and network building: mentorship on journalism and media production skills building and financial/business practices. Network building to support joint reporting and fact-checking, and to create a sustainable community of practice that can share best practices beyond the life of this project. Content provision: providing Caribbean media outlets with access to wire service licenses to enable them to run high-quality, independent, third-party content (Associated Press in English, for instance). Content provision may draw on collaboration with other international wire services to offer an aggregated package to local media partners that they could pull from to disseminate themselves. Supplies: providing up-to-date media equipment, computers, and software on an objectively assessed needs basis to support independent, locally developed news content. Embassy Bridgetown seeks proposals that will provide financial and technical assistance to small and medium-sized media outlets to strengthen their ability to safely produce and disseminate accurate information to audiences in the Eastern Caribbean. The goal of this project is to support the independence of regional journalists and media outlets to increase access to information within the domestic and regional media ecosystems.
