Opportunity Summary:
The Eastern Region Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) competitive funding announcement to select a single organization to operate the Eastern Region TTAP Center under a cooperative agreement. The purpose of the Center is to deliver technical assistance, training, and related capacity-building support focused on transportation needs for American Indian tribal governments located in FHWA's Eastern Region. The geographic service area is broad and includes tribes in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. In practical terms, the Center would function as a regional hub that helps tribal transportation programs improve planning, project delivery, safety, operations, and overall management of transportation assets by providing expertise, on-site or remote assistance, and structured learning opportunities tailored to tribal contexts.
This grant is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means FHWA expects to have substantial involvement in the work during the period of performance (for example, collaborating on priorities, reviewing deliverables, and coordinating on program direction). The funding activity category is transportation, and the CFDA listing is 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program). FHWA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The stated award ceiling is also $1,500,000, and the award floor is $0, indicating there is no guaranteed minimum award size beyond what FHWA ultimately decides to obligate within the announced limit. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any specific clarifications that may be included in the full announcement or the eligibility section referenced in the notice. This generally allows applications from entities such as universities, nonprofits, tribal organizations, state or local governments, or other qualified organizations capable of operating a regional technical assistance center, as long as they meet the solicitation's detailed requirements and can demonstrate the capacity to serve tribes across the listed states.
Key dates in the posting indicate the opportunity was publicly posted on May 17, 2013, with an original application deadline of June 17, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of June 24, 2013. The opportunity was set to be archived on July 24, 2013, which is consistent with the grants.gov lifecycle after the application window closes. The funding opportunity number is DTFH61 13 RA 00010, and the title is Eastern Region Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center. Applicants seeking the complete official instructions were directed to the additional information link hosted through grants.gov, which would contain the detailed program requirements, application package instructions, selection criteria, and any required forms or attachments.
For applicant support and questions related to accessing the announcement electronically, FHWA provided a point of contact: Eric Robinson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-5507. The notice also indicates an email contact was provided, though it is not fully shown in the excerpt. Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund one lead organization to coordinate and deliver a comprehensive, region-wide technical assistance program that strengthens tribal transportation capability and supports safer, better planned, and more effectively managed transportation systems across the Eastern Region tribal communities.
