Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA OH 17 006
The Miner Safety and Health Training Program - Western United States (U60) is a federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Its central goal is to improve both the quality and the availability of occupational health and safety training for mine workers located in the Western United States. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen training and education efforts that help prevent injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in mining by supporting organizations that can build, deliver, and improve effective miner-focused safety and health training programs.
This funding is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally means NIOSH expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period. Cooperative agreements typically involve closer coordination, technical input, and ongoing engagement from the funding agency to help ensure the training products and activities align with national worker safety goals and reflect evidence-based practices. The overall emphasis is on developing training and educational programming that can meaningfully reach mine workers and improve real-world safety outcomes across the region.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number RFA OH 17 006 and falls within the Health funding activity category (CFDA 93.262). The announcement was created on December 7, 2016, with an original application deadline of February 14, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is a standard federal submission requirement and an important compliance detail for applicants.
Funding levels are structured with an award ceiling of $400,000 per award, and NIOSH anticipated making about three awards under this announcement. This suggests a competitive process aimed at supporting a small set of organizations with enough funding to develop or expand training programs that can have a measurable effect in the Western U.S. mining context. Because the purpose statement focuses on enhancing quality and availability, applicants would generally be expected to show how their proposed training will be accessible to miners, responsive to current hazards and emerging risks, and designed in a way that improves learning and adoption on the job.
Eligibility for this program is broad and includes many types of entities that could realistically deliver regional training, conduct outreach, or develop educational materials. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other entities as referenced in the announcement text. The listing also notes an unrestricted posture across entity types, meaning a wide range of organizations can apply as long as they meet any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement.
Overall, this FOA reflects NIOSH's mission to reduce occupational hazards and improve worker health by investing in training infrastructure and education tailored to mining in the Western United States. The expected deliverables under a program like this commonly revolve around developing and distributing training content, strengthening training delivery systems, and increasing the reach and effectiveness of miner safety and health education, with ongoing collaboration between the recipient and NIOSH typical of the cooperative agreement model.Apply for RFA OH 17 006
