Opportunity Summary:
The National Trails Training grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61-11-RA-00007) is a discretionary funding program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under the Transportation funding activity category. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected recipient should expect substantial involvement from the federal agency during execution of the work (for example, coordination on deliverables, review of materials, and ongoing collaboration), rather than operating entirely independently as in a standard grant.
Funding is structured as a base award of $124,000 with three additional option years of $124,000 each. If all options are exercised, the total potential value is $496,000, which also serves as the award ceiling. The award floor is $124,000, reflecting that the minimum award amount corresponds to the base period. The opportunity anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating a competitive selection to identify one organization to carry out the national trails training effort over the base period and possible option years. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted and the solicitation states that competition is open to all interested organizations, meaning applicants are not limited by entity type (such as state governments only or nonprofits only), unless further limitations are described in the full announcement instructions. The program is associated with CFDA 20.219, the Recreational Trails Program, which signals its connection to trail-related transportation and recreation objectives and to the broader context of federally supported trail development and stewardship.
Key dates show the announcement was posted February 7, 2011, with an original closing date of March 7, 2011, later extended to a current closing date of March 21, 2011.
