Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), offered a discretionary safety grant opportunity titled "Statewide Implementation of Prehospital Care Guidelines" (Funding Opportunity Number DTNH22-12-R-00604). The purpose of the opportunity was to support work that helps put prehospital care guidelines into practice across a statewide emergency medical services (EMS) system, strengthening how care is delivered before a patient reaches a hospital. The funding was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency would typically expect an active role in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, performance expectations, and deliverables.
The project period was anticipated to run for up to three years from the effective date of award, with total funding projected at up to $400,000. At the time of posting, $200,000 was available for Fiscal Year 2012, with the possibility (at the government’s discretion) of incremental increases in later years by up to an additional $200,000. In other words, applicants could propose a multi-year effort, but should understand that the full amount beyond the initial year was not guaranteed and would depend on future federal decisions and availability of funds. The award ceiling was listed as $400,000, and the estimated total program funding matched that amount. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered the barrier for organizations that might not have the ability to provide non-federal match.
This opportunity fell under the Transportation funding activity category and was associated with CFDA number 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants). The announcement was originally posted on July 30, 2012, with an application closing date of August 31, 2012. The listing indicates it was archived on September 30, 2012, reflecting that it was a time-limited solicitation rather than an open, ongoing program.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of public, nonprofit, academic, and private entities that could plausibly contribute to statewide EMS guideline implementation efforts. Eligible applicants included state governments; city, township, and county governments; federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits); small businesses; and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests the agency was open to different models for implementation, such as state-led projects, university or research-backed implementation support, nonprofit-led statewide coordination, or contracted technical assistance, as long as the work advanced consistent adoption and integration of prehospital care guidelines across a state.
Administrative details provided in the announcement identify NHTSA as the sponsoring agency and list a federal contact for assistance accessing the full announcement: Paula Armstead, Contract Specialist, reachable at paula.armstead.ctr@dot.gov. The short description emphasizes the multi-year, incrementally funded nature of the award and the total not-to-exceed amount, signaling that applicants needed to plan for phased funding while still proposing a coherent statewide implementation approach.
