Opportunity Summary:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, offered a discretionary grant opportunity called "Increasing Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Reporting - Phase II" (Funding Opportunity Number DTNH22-10-R-00385). The purpose of the program was to strengthen impaired-driving data collection so states can better design and evaluate efforts to prevent alcohol-impaired crashes, injuries, and fatalities. The central focus was improving how often BAC results are tested for and then reported, especially for drivers involved in crashes, including both fatally injured drivers and surviving drivers.
This Phase II funding was aimed specifically at states whose BAC reporting levels were below the national average. NHTSA's goal was to raise the rate of BAC testing and reporting by providing targeted financial support to help states improve their processes, address gaps in their crash and toxicology data systems, and build longer-term capacity so improvements would continue after the grant period. In practice, that means the grant could support ongoing activities that increase the frequency and completeness of BAC data being captured and transmitted into state and national crash databases, helping produce more reliable impaired-driving statistics over time.
The total funding available under the announcement was $500,000, with NHTSA planning to make awards to roughly five to ten states. Individual awards were expected to range from $25,000 (floor) to $100,000 (ceiling). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding instrument was a grant, and the funding activity area was transportation. The program was associated with CFDA 20.614, identified as NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, but not open to all states broadly. The notice specified that only invited applicants could apply: state traffic safety offices with a documented history or status of having less than 47 percent reporting of blood alcohol content and related traffic incidents and fatalities. Eligible states would receive an individually addressed Letter of Invitation from NHTSA authorizing them to respond to the announcement, meaning that a state could not apply unless it had been specifically invited.
Administrative requirements included reporting deliverables: each grantee was required to submit an interim report and a final report describing the activities carried out with grant funds and the results achieved, which would allow NHTSA to track what strategies were implemented and whether BAC reporting measurably improved.
Key dates and submission details were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted July 1, 2010, and applications were due by 3:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Saving Time on Friday, July 30, 2010. Questions had to be submitted by email no later than 2:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Saving Time on Friday, July 16, 2010, to allow time for responses. Applications had to be mailed or delivered to NHTSA's Office of Acquisition Management (NPO-320), attention Brenda K. Brummer, at 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., W53-404, Washington, D.C. 20590, and the application package needed to reference the RFA number DTNH22-10-R-00385.
For help or administrative and program questions, the notice listed two contacts in NHTSA's Office of Acquisition Management: Brenda K. Brummer, Contract Specialist (CTR), reachable at Brenda.Brummer.ctr@dot.gov or (202) 366-0031, and Chelly Johnson Jones, Contracting Officer, reachable at Chelly.JohnsonJones@dot.gov or (202) 366-1943. The announcement was later archived on August 29, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited funding round.
