## What the grant funds

This NOFO is a sole source set-aside for the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The purpose of this NOFO is to solicit two separate applications from NAS. This combined NOFO supports the following two planned cooperative agreements to NAS for the following amounts of Federal funds which are subject to availability. (1) NCHRP: $325,000,000 (estimated funding over five years) NAS will administer and conduct research on various topics selected under the NCHRP, after projects are approved annually by the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Special Committee on Research and Innovation (R&I). The proposed cooperative agreement will enable the States to continue to leverage their research dollars by collaborating in an array of nationally focused research projects, with an increased emphasis on implementation of research results. Research areas under this agreement will include: (1) highway planning, financing, and administration; (2) highway and bridge design, materials, construction, roadside development and barrier systems; and (3) traffic operations and control, illuminations and visibility, traffic planning, and safety. The results of this research will be used by the States, the transportation community in general, and FHWA to maintain and improve the Nation’s highway infrastructure and promote highway safety. (2) Core Program Services: $60,000,000 (estimated funding over five years) The purpose of this proposed Agreement is to continue to provide core program support for a highway research, development, and technology program on behalf of the State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs).
