Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Performance of Taconite Aggregates in Thin Lift HMA" under Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61 09 RA 00005. This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the FHWA expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program sits within the transportation research area and is linked to CFDA 20.200, the Highway Research and Development Program.
The main purpose of the award is to build and advance practical knowledge about beneficial uses of taconite mining tailings, with a specific focus on using taconite-derived aggregates in thin lift hot-mix asphalt (HMA) applications. In addition to the technical performance aspect, the announcement emphasizes gathering technical information and supporting marketing and outreach related to these materials and their properties. In other words, the work is not only about whether the material performs well in pavement mixes, but also about documenting results in a way that helps practitioners understand where it fits, how it behaves, and how it could be adopted more broadly.
Funding for the opportunity is modest and targeted: the estimated total funding is $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $0. The agency anticipated making a single award. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to provide some level of non-federal contribution, as specified in the full announcement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, which generally means any type of entity may apply (public agencies, universities, nonprofits, private organizations, and others), subject to any additional conditions described in the announcement text. Key dates show the notice was posted July 16, 2009, with an original closing date of August 10, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of August 18, 2009. The record also notes a creation date of August 7, 2009, which reflects administrative posting or system entry details rather than changing the substantive purpose.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Carl Rodriguez, Agreements Officer at the FHWA. He can be reached by phone at (202) 366-4240 or by email at Carl.Rodriguez@dot.gov.
