Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — FY 2025 National Infrastructure Investments — is cataloged under number DTOS59-25-RA-RAISE and tied to CFDA assistance listing 20.933, posted by 69A345 Office of the Under Secretary for Policy. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on November 1, 2024 and last updated on January 29, 2025. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $25,000,000. The agency has projected $1.5 billion in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 150 awards. If the agency funds the expected 150 awards from the $1.5 billion estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $10.0 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 January 30, 2025. 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.

Per statute, DOT is also required to award at least 5 percent for eligible planning, preparation, or design of projects eligible for BUILD Grants that do not result in construction.
