Opportunity Summary:
The Northwestern Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding competition to select an organization to operate a TTAP Center serving American Indian tribal governments in Idaho, western Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means FHWA expects to be actively involved with the recipient in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The purpose of the Center is to deliver transportation technology transfer, training, and hands-on technical assistance to tribes across the region, helping strengthen tribal transportation programs and improve planning, design, construction, maintenance, safety, and overall management of transportation systems. This Center operates as part of TTAP, which is described 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).
Funding for the opportunity falls under CFDA 20.200, Highway Research and Development Program. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $1,400,000, and the award floor is $0, meaning there is no stated minimum award size in the notice. The posting date is July 25, 2008, with an original closing date of October 1, 2008, later extended to October 6, 2008. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility based on the summary information provided.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may appear in the full announcement instructions. In practical terms, that typically allows a range of potential applicants such as tribal entities, universities, non-profits, government agencies, or other organizations capable of operating a regional technical assistance and training center, as long as they meet any requirements spelled out in the full solicitation package. The funded operator would be expected to build and deliver a program that meaningfully supports tribal governments in the four-state region, likely including training courses, workshops, peer exchanges, on-site technical assistance, dissemination of proven practices and research, and coordination with FHWA, BIA, and other partners involved in tribal transportation.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61 08 RA 00014 and titled "Northwestern Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center for the Idaho, Montana (western), Oregon, and Washington Region." The administering agency is the DOT Federal Highway Administration. For applicants needing help accessing the announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Brittany Hall, Agreement Specialist, at 202-366-1533 or Brittany.Hall@dot.gov. The notice also provides an additional information link hosted on grants.gov where the full instructions and requirements were made available at the time of posting.
