Cost matching over the minimum 50% of the total cost required will be considered favorably but is less important than the technical proposal and how the proposed work meets the objectives of the program.

F.3 Review and Selection Process The Department intends to apply principles from DOT Order 2100.7, Ensuring Reliance Upon Sound Economic Analysis in DOT’s Policies, Programs and Activities, when evaluating applications and making award selections. To the maximum extent permitted by law, OST-R will prioritize projects that are aligned with the principles outlined in DOT Order 2100.7.

Additionally, OST-R will prioritize projects that align with the Administration's focus on the American family and ensuring a more seamless travel experience. Applicants are encouraged to describe how research will translate to more efficient travel.

A review committee comprised of USDOT subject matter experts will evaluate all eligible applications and make recommendations to the Director, Office of Research, Development and Technology (OST-R). Applications will be rated as highly recommended, recommended, and not recommended. Only highly recommended applications will be considered for final selection.

After completing the merit review, among projects of similar merit, DOT will prioritize the highly recommended proposal applications based on an assessment of the clarity with which the objectives of the ITLP project are addressed and the specific details by which objectives will be fulfilled and how the needs of DOT will be met. The Director, University Research, Development and Technology (OST-R) will be the final authority on the selection of an awardee.

F.4 Risk Assessment Prior to award, each selected applicant will be subject to a risk assessment as required by 2 CFR § 200.206. DOT must review and consider any information about the applicant that is in the

Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the designated integrity and performance system accessible through SAM. An applicant may review information in FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal awarding agency previously entered. DOT will consider comments by the applicant, in addition to the other information in FAPIIS, in making a judgment about the applicant’s integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants.
