Eligible applicants include states, territories, tribal governments, and private or public nonprofit entities. Grant amounts will range from a minimum of $50,000 to a maximum of $1,000,000.

We received the following question:
Q. A potential grant applicant has reached out to MSHA requesting to discuss ideas for a grant application, can MSHA discuss ideas for a grant proposal with a potential applicant?
A. MSHA may not discuss ideas for a proposal with a potential applicant.
Applicants may propose any training or training materials that relate to the MSHA priorities identified in the FY 2024 Brookwood-Sago Funding Opportunity Announcement. Training or training materials may include or support classroom programs, onsite mine programs, or dialogs, interactions, and exchanges of information among miners, mine operators, instructors, approval holders, and others to target priority issues. Any training or materials that directly facilitate this valuable exchange of information and ideas, especially those in a neutral setting, will educate miners, mine operators, and others on the use of equipment, practices, procedures, training, and other materials to make mines safer and healthier. The distribution and exchange of information between miners, mine operators, and others creates a dialog that may provide solutions or best practices to address issues at mines.
