Broad Agency Announcement for Innovative Small Research Projects to Advance Public Participation Related to Public Transportation Planning: FTA anticipates entering into cooperative agreements with research partners and has budgeted approximately $890,000 in the PTP Programs first year for this purpose. Support of research in subsequent years is contingent on continuing availability of funding for the PTP Program. The PTP Program is designed to support small, applied research efforts. In keeping with that concept, FTA anticipates awarding 6-10 proposals for work to be completed within 12 months of receipt of the funding award. FTA also may choose to fund only a part of a proposed project. FTA will consider projects of longer duration, but the work activities and product delivery must be phased in such a way as to produce a viable first-phase product. After the first phase of a project, funding for subsequent phases will be contingent on availability of funds and satisfactory progress against planned work to that point. FTA also reserves the right to not fund proposed projects. FTA also may withdraw its obligation to provide Federal assistance if the recipient does not submit the formal application (to be completed after selection) within 90 days following the date of the offer.
