Opportunity Summary:
The Michigan Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding announcement for a cooperative agreement to run a TTAP center serving a large multi-state region. The core purpose is to deliver transportation technology transfer, training, and hands-on technical assistance to American Indian tribal governments. TTAP operates as a cooperative effort between FHWA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and it functions as the tribal component of FHWA's broader Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP). In practical terms, the selected recipient would act as a regional hub that helps tribes strengthen transportation programs and decision-making by providing education, tools, and applied support related to roads, safety, planning, construction, maintenance, and other transportation-related topics aligned with tribal needs.
Geographically, this specific TTAP center is identified as the "Michigan" TTAP Center, but the service area is regional and includes Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The expectation is that the awardee will provide consistent and accessible services across those states, coordinating training events and technical assistance in a way that reaches tribal transportation stakeholders throughout the region rather than only within Michigan.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means FHWA anticipates ongoing federal involvement in the project beyond a standard pass-through grant. The award ceiling listed is $1,400,000, with an award floor of $0, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA number 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program). The opportunity was posted on July 25, 2008, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) is October 1, 2008.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional clarifications that may be contained in the full announcement and instructions. Applicants would typically be expected to demonstrate the organizational capacity to deliver region-wide training and technical assistance, maintain strong relationships with tribal governments and transportation practitioners, and effectively coordinate technology transfer activities consistent with TTAP and LTAP goals.
For applicants needing the full official instructions, the announcement references an additional information link hosted on Grants.gov. Questions or access issues are directed to the FHWA contact listed: Aimee Drewry, Contract Specialist, at 202-366-4211 or Aimee.Drewry@dot.gov.
