Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding announcement to select one recipient to operate the Alaska TTAP Center through a cooperative agreement. The purpose is to support American Indian tribal governments in Alaska by improving access to transportation-related technology, practical training, and hands-on technical assistance. In practice, the selected organization would serve as a statewide hub that helps tribes strengthen their transportation capabilities by sharing proven methods, current guidance, and program information tied to planning, construction, maintenance, safety, and other transportation responsibilities.
This program sits within a larger federal partnership structure. TTAP is the tribal component of FHWA's Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), and it is described as a cooperative effort between FHWA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Because the award is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, FHWA expects to be actively involved with the recipient during implementation. The center would be expected to coordinate closely with FHWA and work across multiple sources of expertise and information, including FHWA and BIA resources, State Departments of Transportation, tribal transportation departments, tribal governments, and the Intertribal Transportation Association. The core theme of the work is technology and knowledge transfer, meaning the recipient is responsible for getting relevant transportation information into the hands of tribal practitioners in usable forms, often through training events, technical guidance, and direct support.
Funding for the opportunity is up to an estimated total of $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and an award floor of $0. FHWA anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is associated with CFDA number 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program), indicating its connection to federal highway research, technology deployment, and related assistance activities.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any further limits that may be described in the full announcement text. The key operational requirement is the capacity to run a TTAP center that can effectively serve tribal governments across Alaska and deliver consistent training and technical assistance aligned with FHWA and BIA priorities.
Key administrative details include a posted date of April 4, 2012, and an application deadline of May 8, 2012, with materials due by 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2012. The funding opportunity number is DTFH61-12-RA-00010, and the sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Rick Murray, Agreement Officer, at 202-366-4250 or rick.murray@dot.gov.
