Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Automatic Collision Notification for Medical Directors opportunity is a discretionary safety grant issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. The central goal is to support one national organization in strengthening EMS medical direction across the United States by creating and carrying out a sustainable training program focused on Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) data. In practical terms, NHTSA is looking for a grantee that can build education and adoption around how vehicle crash data can improve EMS and 911 decision-making, particularly in dispatch and field triage.
The project is aimed primarily at EMS Medical Directors, 911 Medical Directors, and other closely related EMS stakeholders who influence protocols and system-wide clinical oversight. The training content is expected to explain the connection between crash kinematics (how the crash occurred, the forces involved, and vehicle dynamics) and the types of injuries that typically result. A key emphasis is helping medical directors understand why AACN data matters operationally, and how to incorporate it into existing dispatch and triage protocols to improve response decisions, patient prioritization, and overall system performance. The deliverable is described as an educational product that is developed and promoted, along with an implementation approach that is sustainable rather than a one-time training event.
Funding is capped at an estimated total of $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and no stated minimum award amount. NHTSA anticipates making a single award, meaning the competition results in one grantee selected to carry out the work at a national level. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which reduces the barrier for eligible applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that nonprofit category). The opportunity is listed under CFDA 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants) and categorized under a health-related funding activity, reflecting the EMS and injury-outcome focus even though the agency is transportation-oriented.
Applications were required to be submitted by email (no fax submissions accepted) to nhtsaoam@dot.gov, directed to the attention of Loverna Johnson, Contract Specialist in the Office of Acquisition Management. Applicants had to reference the Request for Application number DTNH22 14 R 00010 in the email subject line and submit a complete application package by 4:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on June 25, 2014. Questions from applicants were due by 4:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on May 21, 2014 to allow time for responses. The announcement also notes that overly elaborate applications beyond what is necessary to provide a complete, effective response would not be considered, signaling that reviewers wanted clear, responsive proposals rather than lengthy, unfocused submissions.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted national capacity-building effort: NHTSA is investing in one organization to develop training and educational tools that help EMS and 911 medical leadership use AACN crash data more effectively, with the broader intent of improving emergency response, triage accuracy, and patient outcomes after motor vehicle crashes.
