Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Reaching Parents of Tweens to Increase Tween Seat Belt Use" was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It was issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient(s) would be expected to work in active coordination with the federal agency rather than operating with minimal federal involvement, as is more typical under some standard grant structures. The activity category was listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, which signals that the work was expected to be evidence-driven and likely include formative research, evaluation, or other structured methods to develop and test approaches for improving seat belt use among "tweens" through engagement with their parents or guardians.

The total estimated funding for the announcement was $500,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also $500,000, indicating the intent to fund awards at a fixed amount per award made under this opportunity. The announcement anticipated up to 10 awards, which suggests the agency may have been open to funding multiple projects or multiple components under the same overall initiative, though the fixed floor and ceiling of $500,000 can also imply a single award structure depending on how NHTSA planned to allocate funds. The program was associated with CFDA number 20.614, which corresponds to NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement's eligibility text. In practical terms, unrestricted eligibility generally allows applications from a wide range of organizations such as state and local governments, tribal entities, nonprofits, universities, research organizations, and private sector entities, as long as they meet any specific requirements laid out in the full solicitation.

Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on March 24, 2009, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2009, and it was archived on May 23, 2009. The funding opportunity number was DTNH22 09 R 00204. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Wendell Crowder, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-5456.
