What it does

Tribal governments may apply only through a bona fide agent, such as a university or other partner acting for the tribe, and must submit documentation of that arrangement. The forecast gives an estimated posting date of 2026-10-30 and an estimated application due date of 2026-12-30 for an occupational safety and health (OSH) surveillance (a federal award with ongoing agency involvement), which funds state-level work on health and safety data tied to work.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Tribes eligible. Tribes or Native organizations are among those who can apply or are covered, alongside others.

Who it covers: Tribal governments.

: 93.262

What to do next

  1. Confirm whether any partner your tribe works with would serve as a bona fide agent, and begin gathering the documentation of that arrangement before the estimated due date of 2026-12-30.
  2. Watch for the full announcement after the estimated posting date of 2026-10-30 under opportunity number -OH-27-050.
