# DOL Awards Mine Safety Grants

On October 26, 2026, the U.S. Department of Labor awarded $250,000 through its Brookwood-Sago grant program to Saelua Medical Corporation and the University of Arizona for mine-safety education and training. The awards support innovative safety programs, training for smaller mines, and emergency-response capabilities. No open solicitation or future application deadline was identified, so these awards are not a current bid opportunity; they do show which mine-safety activities DOL is funding.

- Saelua Medical Corporation received $170,000 and the University of Arizona received $80,000.
- Mine-safety training providers and organizations serving smaller mines can use the funded priorities to understand the program’s focus, but should not treat this announcement as an invitation to submit proposals.
- The awards connect federal grant funding with education, safety training, and emergency-response work in Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Tucson, Arizona.
