About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity is for the FY24 Short Line Safety Institute Program, which is a Congressional appropriation to fund the Short Line Safety Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization focused on enhancing safety culture and safety performance for short line and regional railroads. The Institute will address its strategic goals through four pillars of activities: safety culture assessments, education and training, research, and communications. The funding will be provided by the Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration.
The grant opportunity has a fast-approaching due date of September 19, 2024. The Federal Railroad Administration is the primary sponsoring agency, and will evaluate applications based on the Institute's ability to achieve its goals of improving safety practices and increasing the industry's commitment to safety. Recent federal grant awards under the Railroad Research and Development program, which this opportunity falls under, have ranged from $100,000 to over $11 million with typical durations of 1-3 years.
