US Department of Labor

  • Employment and Training Administration
    • Due September 22, 2003
    • The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), announces the availability of approximately $50 million in grant funds for technical skills training programs.


      Technical skills training grants were authorized under the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (ACWIA), as amended. Fees paid by employers who bring foreign workers into the United States to work in high skill or specialty occupations on a temporary basis under H-1B nonimmigrant visas finance these grants. Twenty-five percent of the grants are to be awarded to business partnerships and seventy-five percent are to be awarded to local workforce investment boards established under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).
      H-1B Technical Skills Training Grants are focused on addressing the high skill technology shortages of American businesses and are a long-term solution to domestic skill shortages in high skill and high technology occupations. H-1B Technical Skills Training Grants are aimed at raising the technical skills levels of American workers so they can take advantage of the new technology-related employment opportunities. Raising the skill level of American workers will, in turn, help businesses reduce their dependence on skilled foreign professionals permitted to work in the United States using H-1B visas. H-1B Technical Skills Training Grants are not intended to address labor shortages due to reasons other than technical skills shortages.

 

Small Business Administration

    • Small Business Innovation Research Program:
    • Small Business Technology Transfer
      • Program:  Competitive Grants Funding:  (grants up to $600,000) Eligible:  small for-profit companies working cooperatively with researchers at universities and other research institutions
      • "STTR is similar in structure to SBIR but funds cooperative R&D projects involving a small business and a research institution (i.e., university, federally-funded R&D center, or nonprofit research institution). (DoD's next STTR solicitation will be publicly released on this Web Site on January 2, 2001.)  The purpose of STTR is to create, for the first time, an effective vehicle for moving ideas from our nation's research institutions to the market, where they can benefit both private sector and military customers. DoD's STTR program, funded at $31 million in fiscal year 2000, is part of a larger ($62 million) federal STTR program administered by five federal agencies. DoD issues one STTR research solicitation each year. "
