Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program (GAMTTEP)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds K-12 STEM education and career-pipeline initiatives targeting underrepresented groups in transportation through the Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program (GAMTTEP), CFDA 20.293, with grant selection and timing driven by individual notices of funding opportunity.

GAMTTEP was established in 1997 to address historical disparities in STEM participation among female and minority students and to build a workforce pipeline into transportation careers. The program funds educational projects, curriculum development, student outreach, and related initiatives designed to attract K-12 students from underrepresented populations into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields with a focus on transportation industry pathways.

The source does not provide recent grant award data, portfolio statistics, typical award magnitudes, or information on active grant opportunities. No closing dates or application windows are specified. The program operates under a project-by-project funding model in which FHWA issues periodic notices of funding opportunity that set selection criteria and eligibility requirements; prospective applicants must consult individual NOFOs for specific solicitation details, deadlines, and award amounts.

Given the lack of current opportunity data in the source, BD teams evaluating pursuit should monitor the FHWA website and Federal Register for GAMTTEP NOFOs to determine active solicitation status, current funding availability, and eligibility constraints before committing resources to proposal development.
