Opportunity Summary:
The FY2010 High Priority Grant (Funding Opportunity Number USDOT FMC MCSAPHP 10 001) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under CFDA 20.218, National Motor Carrier Safety. The program sits within the transportation funding category and is designed to support high-priority motor carrier safety activities consistent with FMCSA's mission. While the original solicitation initially focused on applications submitted on or before September 15, 2009, FMCSA later announced that remaining FY2010 High Priority funds would be opened up again for competitive applications because not all funding had been awarded.
At the time of the updated notice, FMCSA indicated that approximately $2,000,000 in FY2010 High Priority grant funding was still available. FMCSA planned to award an estimated 18 grants from this remaining pool, with applications due by July 1, 2010. The agency anticipated making selections and issuing awards around August 15, 2010. Successful applicants would be able to spend awarded funds through September 30, 2011, which effectively set the performance and expenditure window through the end of the federal fiscal year 2011.
The opportunity is open to a fairly broad range of public and nonprofit entities, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost, consistent with the program rules and the specific terms that would be included in an award.
FMCSA also made clear how it would handle the review process over time. Applications submitted on or before the original September 15, 2009 deadline were reviewed first and funded where appropriate. Applications submitted after that point were to be considered on a case-by-case basis only if High Priority funds remained. The May 2010 update effectively confirmed that funds were still available and formally invited additional competitive applications up to the July 1, 2010 closing date, after which the opportunity would be archived (archive date listed as October 30, 2010).
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cim Weiss, Transportation Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-0275.
