Basic Program Information
For each grant opportunity, the first page is intended as an overview of the grant program. It includes basic information about the program, funding, and eligible applicants. Specific funding and match requirements are listed if they were included in BIL.
Program Funding
Program funding is broken into funding that BIL appropriated (either Highway Trust Fund or General Fund) and subject to appropriation funding. The subject to appropriation funding is highlighted in yellow in the document as it is not guaranteed and still needs a congressional action to be made available.
Eligible Applicants
The types of applicants listed are the most common applicants but are not exhaustive. For example, the Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects Program does not have any eligible boxes checked. However, Tribal Governments and Federal Lands Agencies are eligible applicants. The types of applicants was limited to common applicants due to space constraints, but the full listing is available upon request.
Eligible Projects and Selection Criteria
After reviewing the first page of a grant opportunity it is determined that the program is of interest, the document under Attachment provides more details on eligible projects and the selection criteria that will be used. This section is based on the information included in BIL. These sections will be updated as more details are published by USDOT.
