Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ320NF00001
Phase II - SHRP 2 Safety Data Implementation and Oversight (Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ320NF00001) is a discretionary transportation research award from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), structured as a cooperative agreement. It was published on May 19, 2020, with an original closing date of June 30, 2020. FHWA anticipated making a single award with an award ceiling of $2,100,000.
This opportunity is intentionally limited in eligibility: only the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Transportation Institute (VTTI) may apply. FHWA describes the effort as a follow-on to an earlier cooperative agreement (DTFH6114H00017) associated with Phase I of SHRP 2 Safety Data Implementation and Oversight. Rather than an open competition, FHWA states it intends to proceed through a sole-source cooperative agreement with VTTI, reflecting continuity needs and the specialized infrastructure and expertise involved in managing these national safety datasets.
The main purpose of Phase II is to provide both financial and technical support for continued operation, management, and stewardship of the SHRP 2 Safety Data, a term that combines two major resources from the Second Strategic Highway Research Program: the Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) data and the Roadway Information Database (RID). In practical terms, the work centers on keeping these datasets usable, secure, and accessible, while ensuring they remain well-managed for current research needs and preserved for long-term value. The NDS component generally refers to detailed driving behavior data collected in real-world conditions, while the RID component provides supporting roadway and contextual information that helps researchers interpret and analyze safety-related questions.
A key deliverable embedded in the description is ongoing repository maintenance. VTTI is expected to continue maintaining the SHRP 2 Safety Data repository so that qualified researchers can access and use the information during the period of performance and beyond. That emphasis on access and continuity signals that the award is not primarily for generating new data, but for operating and overseeing the data environment, including the processes and systems that support research use, data governance, and long-term availability.
The award also includes a significant cost share requirement: 50 percent cost sharing is required. This means the recipient must contribute non-federal resources equal to half of the total project cost, which can shape budgeting and project planning. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 20.200 and falls under the transportation activity category, aligning it with FHWA's broader mission to improve highway safety and enable evidence-based research through high-quality data resources.Apply for 693JJ320NF00001
