This grant, offered by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), is for the purpose of evaluating and comparing Federal formula grant programs. The selected recipient will conduct a comprehensive analysis of various federal grant programs, examining their uses, eligibility, application procedures, funding mechanisms, and management policies. Researchers will thoroughly investigate the processes and performance measures agencies use to award and manage grants, alongside their methods for evaluating program effectiveness. The ultimate goal is to identify and recommend effective practices employed by other agencies, enabling FTA to significantly enhance its own formula grant administration and evaluation strategies.
