Opportunity Summary:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, offered a discretionary transportation funding opportunity to support a single cooperative agreement called "Deployment of Innovative Asphalt Mixture Technologies." The purpose of this award was to speed up the real-world deployment and broad adoption of new and innovative asphalt-related solutions. In practical terms, FHWA was looking for proposals that would help move promising asphalt mixture materials and technologies out of research settings and into everyday pavement design and construction practice, with the end goal of improving asphalt pavement performance and extending pavement service life.
The cooperative agreement focused on accelerating the use of innovations across several areas tied directly to asphalt mixture and pavement delivery. This included new or improved asphalt materials, updated mixture design procedures, enhanced specifications, and improved construction practices and methods. The central theme was implementation and rapid adoption, not just research for its own sake. FHWA also issued Amendment No. 1 to clarify aspects of the opportunity, indicating that applicants needed to review the amendment to ensure their submissions aligned with the clarified requirements.
From a funding standpoint, the program anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. The award ceiling was also $3,000,000, meaning the maximum federal amount available under this opportunity was three million dollars, while the award floor was listed as $0. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal share, consistent with the terms described in the full announcement and amendment.
The opportunity was open in terms of who could apply. Eligibility was listed as "Unrestricted," meaning any type of entity could submit an application as long as it met any conditions described in the additional eligibility language in the full notice. The funding vehicle was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that FHWA anticipated substantial involvement during performance (for example, collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or oversight) rather than a more hands-off grant structure.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61 11 RA 00014 and the CFDA number 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program). The notice was posted on June 14, 2011, and applications were due through Grants.gov by July 14, 2011 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity later moved to archived status on September 14, 2011. For assistance accessing the full announcement, FHWA listed an agreement officer point of contact: Rick Murray (202-366-4250, rick.murray@dot.gov).
