# [Department of Labor to fund state SAW/RTW demonstrations](https://blog.ibiweb.org/blog/department-of-labor-to-fund-state-saw-rtw-demonstrations)

In May, IBI participated in Department of Labor (DoL) legislative policy recommendation sessions to advise on effective stay-at-work and return-to-work (SAW/RTW) strategies.

The DoL's Office of Employment Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) is continuing its SAW/RTW work with a $20 million grant program to state Departments of Labor, Workforce Development Agencies, and other government entities to "identify new, replicable strategies to help individuals with a work-related disability stay on the job."

> "Successful applicants will propose coordinated employment and health services through an integrated network of partners, including state and/or local workforce development agencies; *health-care systems and/or provider networks; and other strategic partners, such as employers or insurers*."

If this describes you (or one of your state government partners), you may want to check out the [grant announcement](https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/odep/odep20180524). The deadline is August 3, 2018.
