Opportunity Information: Apply for MSHA2017 1
The Mine Health and Safety Grants opportunity is a mandatory grant program run by the U.S. Department of Labor through the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). It is built around the Department of Labors broader workforce vision of "Promoting and Protecting Opportunity," with a specific emphasis on strengthening workplace safety and health in high-risk industries. In practical terms, the program is designed to reduce deaths, injuries, and occupational diseases connected to mining and to support the creation and maintenance of safer, healthier working conditions for miners across the country.
This funding is authorized under Section 503 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-164), as amended. Using this authority, MSHA can provide grants to help eligible jurisdictions strengthen and enforce mining-related protections at the state or territorial level. The core idea is to improve mining safety outcomes by supporting state-based systems and encouraging close coordination between federal and state efforts, rather than relying on federal activity alone. The program emphasizes federal-state cooperation as a way to raise standards, improve compliance, and address safety and health risks more effectively where mining actually occurs.
The grant funds may be used to assist jurisdictions with developing and enforcing state mining laws and regulations, improving state workers compensation frameworks as they relate to mining, and strengthening mining occupational disease laws and programs. Beyond legal and administrative improvements, the program also targets broader improvements in on-the-ground safety and health conditions in mines, with the expectation that better rules, better enforcement capacity, and stronger benefit and disease-recognition systems work together to protect miners.
Eligible applicants include state governments and certain U.S. jurisdictions treated similarly for program purposes, including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The eligibility list also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, indicating that MSHA allows participation from public-sector academic partners and tribal governments when their work supports mine safety and health objectives consistent with the statute and program goals.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number MSHA2017 1 and is associated with CFDA number 17.600 under the Employment, Labor and Training activity category. The posting was created on January 4, 2017. The application deadline was extended, with the closing date for receipt of applications moved from January 17, 2017 to March 7, 2017. The listing notes an expected 56 awards. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically signals that no single maximum award amount is specified in the summary data and that award sizes may be determined by program formula, statutory structure, appropriations, or other program guidance rather than a fixed cap stated in the notice.Apply for MSHA2017 1
