Opportunity Summary:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Technology Transfer of Concrete Pavement Technologies" (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61 12 RA 00014) under the Highway Research and Development Program (CFDA 20.200). The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the FHWA expected to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than operating strictly as a hands-off grant maker. The overall purpose was to continue and strengthen an existing Pavement Technology Program focused on deploying innovative methods and tools that improve pavement performance, with particular emphasis on getting proven and emerging concrete pavement technologies into practical use.
The heart of the opportunity was technology development and technology transfer for concrete pavements. FHWA identified a need to produce and deliver usable tools and guidance documents that State transportation agencies can apply directly. In practical terms, this meant supporting States with resources that raise capability and consistency in key areas such as concrete materials (selection, properties, and behavior), concrete pavement design (including improved design approaches and performance-based decision making), construction practices (methods that increase quality and durability), and maintenance strategies (preservation and rehabilitation practices that extend service life). The emphasis on "deployment" signals that the work was not only research for its own sake, but also packaging knowledge into implementable products and helping agencies incorporate those products into everyday pavement programs.
Financially, the program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,005,000. The ceiling was also $2,005,000, and the floor was listed as $0, which typically indicates flexibility depending on the scope and merit of the proposed work. There was no stated cost sharing or matching requirement, making the opportunity more accessible to applicants that might not be able to provide non-federal funds. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted on May 30, 2012, with an application closing date of June 30, 2012, and it was later archived on July 30, 2012. For applicants unable to access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Eric Robinson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-5507.
