Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ324NF AIDDP
The 2023-2026 Accelerated Innovation Deployment (AID) Demonstration is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under the Technology and Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP) and authorized by 23 U.S.C. 503(c). The core purpose is to speed up the real-world adoption of innovative practices and technologies in highway transportation by providing incentive funding that helps agencies move from traditional approaches to newer, more effective solutions.
The program is intentionally broad in what it can support, as long as the work is eligible under Title 23 and aligns with TIDP goals. Funding can be used for project activities across essentially the full highway project lifecycle, from planning through delivery. That includes, but is not limited to, planning and project development activities, financing approaches, operations, structures, materials, pavements, environmental processes, and construction methods. In practical terms, AID is meant to help applicants deploy innovations that improve how projects are designed, built, managed, or delivered, rather than simply funding routine work with no innovation component.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), identified as 693JJ324NF-AIDDP (often shown as 693JJ324NF AIDDP), lays out how FHWA will accept applications, what applicants must submit, how projects will be evaluated, and what selection criteria will be applied. The opportunity is structured as a multi-year solicitation covering four application cycles (FY 2023 through FY 2026). Each cycle has its own opening date, a notice of intent deadline, and a final application deadline, and applicants are expected to follow the timeline for the year in which they apply.
Key timing for each cycle is as follows: for FY 2023, the cycle opened October 24, 2023, with a notice of intent due December 12, 2023, and applications due January 23, 2024. For FY 2024, the cycle opened February 27, 2024, with notice of intent due April 16, 2024, and applications due May 28, 2024. For FY 2025, the cycle opens February 25, 2025, with notice of intent due April 15, 2025, and applications due May 27, 2025. For FY 2026, the cycle opens February 24, 2026, with notice of intent due April 14, 2026, and applications due May 26, 2026. The overall opportunity lists an original closing date of May 26, 2026, reflecting the final cycle deadline. The NOFO also points applicants to “Attachment A - Key Dates” as the definitive schedule reference.
Awards are issued as grants, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award, and FHWA anticipates making around 40 awards over the life of the multi-year opportunity. The funding activity category is transportation, and the assistance listing is under CFDA/Assistance Listing number 20.200.
Eligibility includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, along with other eligible applicants as described in the NOFO’s eligibility section (the notice indicates “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)”). Applicants should rely on the NOFO language for the full, precise list of eligible entity types and any conditions or limitations tied to eligibility.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a deployment-focused incentive program for highway-related innovation: it is designed to help public-sector transportation entities and other eligible applicants put proven or promising innovations into practice on real projects, across a wide range of project phases and technical areas, within the rules of Title 23 eligibility and the innovation objectives of TIDP.Apply for 693JJ324NF AIDDP
