Opportunity Summary:
The Fast Forward Electronic Media grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6114RA00012) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under CFDA 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program). FHWA sought to make a single award through a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the agency expected to stay actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The central purpose was to support an education and outreach effort delivered through electronic media that would educate, motivate, and inspire students and faculty at the middle school, high school, and community college levels about transportation and transportation careers.
At its core, the project was meant to improve career awareness and career preparation by helping young people and educators better understand transportation as a field that is both challenging and rewarding. The emphasis on electronic media signals that FHWA was looking for digital-forward ways to reach and engage these audiences, such as web-based content, online campaigns, videos, interactive tools, or other electronic communication approaches capable of meeting students where they already spend time and consume information. The intended outcome was not only general awareness of transportation jobs, but also a clearer sense of pathways into the field and the breadth of opportunities available across transportation.
Funding for the opportunity was up to $200,000 total, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $0, and FHWA anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically lowers barriers to participation by allowing the applicant to propose the work without having to commit non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was posted on July 11, 2014, with applications due by August 11, 2014 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and it was archived on September 30, 2014.
Eligibility was limited to Institutions of Higher Education as defined in Section 101 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001). In practice, that points to colleges and universities as the primary eligible applicants, and it also suggests FHWA wanted an organization with educational infrastructure and the ability to connect credibly with schools, educators, and students while producing quality media materials and coordinating outreach. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to the Agreement Officer, Rick Murray, at 202-366-4250 or rick.murray@dot.gov.
