Opportunity Summary:

The Injury Control Support for Region 5 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTNH22 08 R 00136) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), under CFDA 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would not only receive federal funds but would also be expected to work in close coordination with NHTSA, typically with substantial federal involvement in planning, oversight, or technical direction as the project is carried out. The overall purpose is health and safety focused, with a specific emphasis on injury control strategies tied to alcohol-related harm and the role of clinical settings in identifying and reducing risky alcohol use.

The core strategy described in the announcement is to leverage expertise to increase awareness, support, and involvement in Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention (ASBI) initiatives within emergency departments and trauma centers across Region 5. In practice, this points to efforts that help hospitals and trauma systems adopt, expand, or strengthen screening processes for alcohol misuse and deliver brief, evidence-informed interventions that can reduce future alcohol-impaired driving risk and related injuries. The emphasis on emergency department and trauma center settings reflects the reality that these facilities routinely treat patients injured in crashes or other incidents where alcohol may be a contributing factor, making them important points for early identification, counseling, referral, and prevention-oriented follow-up.

Funding for this opportunity is fixed at an estimated total of $239,750, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $239,750. That combination usually signals that NHTSA anticipated making a single award at a specific amount, rather than multiple awards or a range of funding levels. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants typically still need to propose realistic staffing, partnerships, and implementation plans that can be executed within the stated budget and time period.

Eligibility is listed as “unrestricted,” meaning the opportunity was open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full text of the solicitation. While that broad eligibility can include universities, nonprofits, hospitals, state or local entities, and other organizations, the practical fit for the project description is an organization with demonstrated experience in injury prevention, traffic safety, trauma systems, emergency medicine settings, public health implementation, and stakeholder coordination across a multi-state region. Because the program is focused on increasing awareness and involvement in ASBI, a strong applicant would typically have the capacity to engage clinical leadership, develop or disseminate training and implementation supports, and help integrate ASBI workflows into busy emergency and trauma care environments.

The timeline for the competition shows it was posted on May 15, 2008, with an original closing date of May 29, 2008, later extended to a current closing date of June 16, 2008, and archived on June 28, 2008. Those dates indicate this was a time-limited, competitive solicitation with a relatively short application window, which is common for certain discretionary grant cycles. Applicants during that period would have needed to assemble a clear work plan quickly, often relying on existing regional relationships with hospitals, trauma networks, or safety coalitions.
