Award economics. The award range on file is $3,000,000 -- $3,000,000. The agency has projected $3.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award. If the agency funds the expected 1 award from the $3.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $3.0 million. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources, factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on August 15, 2023. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
US DOT seeks competitive grant applications from institutions of higher education located only in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, or Wyoming to establish and operate the Region 8 University Transportation Center (UTC). A UTC must be a consortium of two or more institutions of higher education all located in CO, MT, ND, SD, UT, or WY, led by one institution of higher education, and institutions may include qualifying two-year institutions (20 U.S.C. § 1001(a)). The Center is required to obtain matching funds in an amount equal to the US DOT award amount. US DOT asks applicants to submit a Letter of Intent, as described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, by July 5, 2023. Applicants must submit their applications for the Region 8 UTC competition via the Valid Eval online application evaluation system at https://usg.valideval.com/teams/REGION8UTCCOMPREOPEN/signup. Do not submit your application through Grants.gov. Applications must be submitted to Valid Eval no later than 7:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on Tuesday, August 15, 2023. Late applications will not be accepted. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P. L. 117-58, November 15, 2021) authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to make grants to establish and operate University Transportation Centers. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) manages the UTC Program. Selection of the Region 8 UTC was not made as part of a previous FY 2022 UTC Program competition, so this opportunity re-opens that competition in order to award just this one Region 8 grant.
