Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Center for Excellence in Project Finance" (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6114RA00006). The purpose of the opportunity is to support the establishment and ongoing maintenance of a Center for Excellence focused on project finance, with the overall intent of strengthening knowledge, tools, and capacity related to financing transportation projects. In practical terms, FHWA signaled that it expected to enter into an assistance agreement to stand up and sustain a dedicated center that would serve as a focal point for expertise in project finance within the highway and broader surface transportation context.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category for the award was listed under "Information and Statistics," indicating the work was expected to revolve around developing, organizing, and disseminating information, guidance, or analytical resources rather than constructing infrastructure directly. The funding is tied to CFDA 20.205, Highway Planning and Construction, which is a common federal assistance listing for FHWA-related programs.
FHWA anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $4,000,000, with an award ceiling of $4,000,000 and an award floor of $240,000, indicating that proposals could vary in scale but would fall within that range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the selected recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in accordance with the terms laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility was described as "unrestricted," meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full notice. That generally implies a wide pool of potential applicants such as universities, nonprofit organizations, private firms, state or local governments, or other qualified entities, provided they met any specific requirements described in the complete solicitation.
Key timeline details show the notice was posted on February 11, 2014, with an original closing date of March 11, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of March 18, 2014. The record indicates an archive date of April 10, 2014, reflecting when the opportunity was formally closed and archived in the federal system.
For applicant support, FHWA provided a contact for assistance accessing the full announcement: Angela Jones, Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-4255, listed as the FHWA point of contact.
