Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Vehicular Traffic Flow Dynamics" (Funding Opportunity Number AH5221090008) is a discretionary federal funding notice issued by the National Park Service under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The purpose, as indicated by the title, is focused on research or applied work related to understanding and managing vehicular traffic flow dynamics, which commonly includes studying traffic movement patterns, congestion formation and dissipation, driver behavior interactions, roadway or corridor performance, and the effectiveness of management strategies that may be relevant to park roadways or surrounding transportation systems.
This opportunity was narrowly scoped in terms of both funding and the number of awards. The National Park Service anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $100,000, indicating the agency intended a fixed-dollar award rather than a range of potential funding levels. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the applicant would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The notice also includes an internal fiscal reference that FY09 funds were obligated and chargeable to 5521411c579P301, which functions as an accounting or funding source identifier rather than an applicant-facing requirement.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, suggesting the National Park Service intended to fund a state-level transportation, planning, or research entity, or a state agency partner capable of conducting or managing the research and coordination required for traffic flow analysis. Other common applicant types (such as universities, local governments, nonprofits, or private entities) are not listed as eligible under this announcement, making it a targeted opportunity rather than a broadly competitive one.
In terms of timeline, the opportunity was posted on October 23, 2009 (created October 20, 2009) and had a very short application window, with an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009. That five-day gap between posting and closing is a strong signal that this may have been intended for a specific eligible partner or a time-sensitive project need. The archive date was November 27, 2009, meaning the opportunity was later removed from active listings as a past notice.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
