The FY20 Confidential Close Call Reporting System Peer Review Team grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR RRD 20 004) is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), under CFDA 20.313.

This funding is described as a Congressional appropriation intended specifically to support the Short Line Safety Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on improving safety outcomes for short line and regional railroads. The Institute's mission is centered on providing leadership that strengthens safety culture and safety performance through voluntary, non-punitive partnerships, meaning the work emphasizes collaboration and learning rather than punishment when safety concerns are reported or reviewed.
The purpose of the grant aligns with the Institute's strategic goals: enhancing and improving safety practices across the short line and regional rail sector and deepening the industry's overall commitment to safety as part of everyday operations and decision-making. The Institute plans to pursue these goals through its "Four Pillars" approach, which includes conducting safety culture assessments, delivering education and training, carrying out research, and supporting communications efforts that spread lessons learned and promote safer practices throughout the industry.
From a program classification standpoint, the activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting a focus on structured evaluation, continuous improvement, and the application of evidence-based methods to strengthen safety systems. While the eligibility field is labeled "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full notice, the description makes clear that the appropriation is directed to the Short Line Safety Institute for this specific effort tied to confidential close call reporting and peer review activities.Apply for FR RRD 20 004
