Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 SaDIP (Safety Data Improvement Program) Notice of Funding Availability is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The program is designed to help jurisdictions strengthen how they collect, analyze, and report commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety data, with a particular focus on large truck and bus crash and inspection information. The central purpose is to improve the quality of the data that States and eligible territories submit to FMCSA, with emphasis on making those data systems and processes more timely, efficient, accurate, and complete.
Eligible applicants are State governments and certain U.S. jurisdictions, specifically States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. FMCSA is seeking applications from jurisdictions that are directly involved in managing truck and bus crash and inspection data, and that can propose practical improvements to the end-to-end workflow, such as data capture in the field, integration across agencies, validation and error checking, reporting pipelines, and overall data governance. In short, the grant is aimed at strengthening the underlying systems and procedures that produce the safety data FMCSA relies on.
Funding for this opportunity is estimated at $3,000,000 in total, with an expectation of about 20 awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $100,000 (award floor) to $500,000 (award ceiling). The opportunity falls under CFDA number 20.234 (Safety Data Improvement Program) and includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees should plan to contribute non-federal resources as required by the program rules described in the full announcement.
Key dates provided for the FY 2013 competition include a posted date of August 31, 2012, and an application closing date of November 13, 2012. A special accommodation was included for States directly impacted by severe weather associated with Hurricane Sandy: those jurisdictions could request a seven-day extension by emailing the FMCSA grant program point of contact and explaining why additional time was needed (for example, office closures, power outages, or loss of internet connectivity). If approved, extended applications had to be received by 11:59:59 PM on Tuesday, November 20, 2012.
Applications were to be submitted through Grants.gov, and applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center for support at 1-800-518-4726 (available 24/7 except federal holidays). The funding opportunity number associated with this solicitation is FM-SAD-13-001, and the activity category is Transportation.
