About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is soliciting applications for the Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program through a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The purpose of this NOFO is to collect diverse pedestrian data, provide researchers access to this data, and encourage novel approaches for analysis to increase the safety and mobility of all people. The NOFO has two tracks - Track A for collecting naturalistic pedestrian data and Track B for data management and distribution. Eligible applicants are unrestricted, and proposals may be submitted for one or both tracks. Applications are due by June 5, 2024, and a virtual outreach meeting is scheduled for May 8, 2024.
The FHWA anticipates making 8-10 cooperative agreement awards totaling up to $2 million, with individual awards up to $250,000 in federal funding, requiring a 20% non-federal match. The authority and funding for this effort come from 23 U.S.C. 502(b)(3)(C) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (P.L. 117-58) Sec. 11101(c)(1)(A).
