Opportunity Summary:
The Injury Control Liaison Support for Region 8 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTNH22 08 R 00147) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It funded a single cooperative agreement intended to strengthen traffic safety coordination and outreach across NHTSA Region 8, which includes Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. The core idea was to support an Injury Liaison function that would connect and coordinate efforts among NHTSA and regional partners over a five-year period, with an estimated total award of about $235,000.
The program's emphasis was on practical outreach and coordination in largely rural states, focusing on key traffic safety priorities that NHTSA routinely targets. Those priority areas included occupant protection (such as seat belt and child restraint use), impaired driving prevention, speed and aggressive driving countermeasures, motorcycle safety, and work aimed at high-risk populations, specifically younger and older drivers. In other words, the funded liaison role was meant to help align stakeholders, keep programs moving, and extend NHTSA's safety priorities into communities where distance, rural road conditions, and limited local resources can make traffic safety work harder to sustain.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the award type was a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant, which typically signals a more active federal role in the project (for example, federal involvement in planning, coordination, or oversight of deliverables). The opportunity anticipated one award only, and the award amount was fixed at $235,000, listed as both the ceiling and the floor. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement identified for applicants.
Eligibility was limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The opportunity was posted on May 22, 2008, with an application closing date of June 23, 2008, and it was later archived on July 23, 2008. The funding fell under CFDA 20.614, which covers NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants. For applicants needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact was Terry McBee, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-3998 or by email at terry.mcbee@dot.gov.
