[FR Doc. 05–733 Filed 1–12–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–81–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Responses to Questions Received in Response to Announcement of Availability of Discretionary Cooperative Agreements for Research Under the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT. ACTION: Responses to questions received in response to the announcement of discretionary cooperative agreements to support the research conducted under the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) and to increase its benefits to the public. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Federal Register, Volume 69, No. 235, Pages 71101–71118, announced the availability of discretionary Cooperative Agreement opportunities to provide funding to Level One Trauma Centers in support of the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The NHTSA indicated that responses to all questions PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2457 received by December 20, 2004, would be published in the Federal Register and on the CIREN Web site: https://wwwnrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/departments/nrd-50/ ciren/CIREN.html. Those questions and answers are listed below: Question: Has the total funding amount of $3 million been confirmed for FY 2005? Answer: Yes. Question: The announcement does not mention cost-sharing or matching funds. Can it be assumed that neither will be required for this grant? Answer: This is a cooperative research agreement and it is assumed that there will be some ‘‘in kind’’ contributions by the Level One Trauma Center. Question: If cost sharing is not required, would it help an application, though, if matching funds were provided? Answer: Yes. Question: Do you advise applicants to contact you with project ideas before submitting applications? Or only if they have general questions? Answer: No. We are not looking for project ideas. The announcement for discretionary funding for the cooperative research agreements is very specific as to the work required. Applicants are not required to submit any project ideas. Question: The announcement does not mention this, but does this program have a CFDA number? Answer: Yes—it is 20–600. Question: How competitive is this program, i.e., for the last funding cycle, how many proposals were submitted and how many received funding? Answer: This is the first time that the CIREN program has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP). During the last funding cycle, awards were made via a letter of invitation to the existing centers to continue the work they were doing. At that time, the program and database were still in the developmental phase. Question: Is there anything else you would like applicants to know? Answer: No. Applicants should carefully read the Federal Register announcement to be certain of work requirements. As indicated in the Federal Register announcement, ‘‘Interested applicants are advised that no separate application package exists beyond the contents of this announcement.’’ Question: For a proposed site that would like to do both pediatric and adult cases, does Level I funding require that the site track 50 pediatric and 50 adult cases OR can the cases be mixed? Answer: The requirement is for a total of 50 cases. Question: Is the software from Volpe (a) provided free of charge, (b) included E:\FR\FM\13JAN1.SGM 13JAN1
