While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, historical data suggests typical grant values range from $50,000 to $1.5 million, with project durations spanning 1-3 years. Eligible applicants include states, local governments, private nonprofit institutions, public organizations, and profit organizations. Funding will be obligated through cooperative agreements or grants, with disbursements occurring as project milestones are achieved. The FRA will conduct a three-part application review process, including screening for completeness, evaluating technical merit, and selecting projects for funding. Successful applicants must retain project-related documentation for three years following the grant period and comply with reporting requirements outlined in 2 C.F.R. Part 200.
