Transportation Management Organization (TMO) Seed Funding Grant

Colorado Department of Transportation
State/Local Government
Colorado
US $20,000 - US $200,000

Office of Innovative Mobility (OIM) Grants

About the Program

Thank you for your interest in the OIM Grant Program. We are proud to have been able to offer four rounds of grants for the TDM portfolio and two rounds of grants from the Electrification and Connected Vehicle portfolios since 2021. These grants have resulted in many successful projects. In recent months, OIM staff have been working to further quantify benefits from these initial efforts and continue to analyze and refine our offerings so that the OIM grants can contribute to our mission of reducing emissions and congestion through traditional and emerging technologies.

Mobility Services offers the Transportation Management Organization Seed Funding Grant:

Providing resources for new TMOs programs to form in currently underrepresented areas of the state.

Transportation Management Organization Seed Funding Grant Rolling Applications 

Background

Transportation Demand Management (TDM) - defined broadly as strategies that maximize travelers’ choices and, in doing so, allow them to make more efficient use of existing transportation infrastructure - is an increasingly crucial tool in meeting CDOT’s commitment to provide the best multi-modal transportation system for Colorado that most effectively and safely moves people, goods, and information and the ambitious goals for tackling climate change outlined in House Bill 19-1261 Climate Action Plan to Reduce Pollution.

However, while there are strong, existing examples of successful TDM programming in Colorado, many areas and groups across the state have not been well-served by traditional TDM efforts.

The Transportation Management Organization (TMO) Seed Funding Grant was developed by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to establish new transportation management organizations (TMOs) in currently un-represented areas of the state, and to add new perspectives to the TDM conversation that have the potential to increase TDM success in non-urban areas.

Program Goals

  • Foster the creation of innovative solutions and technologies that reduce single occupancy vehicle trips and encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation.
  • Support the creation of financially sustainable TMOs that enhance the capacities and efficiencies of their local and regional transportation networks and support stakeholders in voluntary efforts to reduce trips, emissions, and travel impacts.
  • Support economic development by normalizing and encouraging telecommuting as a best work practice for employers.
  • Provide safe access to economic opportunities and mobility for people of all ages, incomes, and abilities, including vulnerable users.
  • Reduce greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions by reducing vehicle miles traveled by personal vehicles.

ASTS-iMDx Research Grant for Understanding the Health Economics of in-house vs send-out diagnostics

American Society Of Transplant Surgeons
Private
Canada, United States
US $100,000

ASTS-iMDx Research Grant for Understanding the Health Economics of in-house vs send-out diagnostics

As new diagnostics become available to the transplant community, the development of in-house expertise and infrastructure vs send out testing becomes a critical decision. In-house diagnostic testing provides faster results, improving immediate patient care and reducing follow-up visits, while send-out testing (reference labs) is better for complex, rare, or high-volume specialized tests. This grant will support health econometric research projects comparing in-house vs outsourced testing and the potential impact on patient care. The output of this research would show a model of the costs and benefits of diagnostic testing in transplantation to educate transplant centers and labs on their choice of assays.

Amount:

  • $100,000 fpr 12 months.

Funds Support:

No more than 25% of grant can go towards the individual applicant’s salary; no indirect costs, but salary support for post-docs and collaborators are permitted at the NIH cap. Funds for this grant are being supplied by Insight Molecular Diagnostics (iMDx).

Who We Are

Saginaw County is home. It is a beautiful community you’d be foolish to underestimate. We may have our challenges, but seeing its cities, villages and townships continue to grow and flourish gives us a sense of satisfaction and pride like none other.

Back in 1984, The Saginaw Community Foundation was founded to enhance the quality of life in our county by providing leadership, education, and support for philanthropy. Today, we still continue this mission of supporting the needs of our community through targeted grants, investments, and scholarships.

In addition to our grantmaking and scholarship programs, the Foundation also offers donor advised funds, which allow donors to recommend charitable grants to organizations of their choice. We also manage several endowed funds, which provide ongoing support for specific causes or organizations.

Saginaw Community Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors composed of community leaders and volunteers. A staff of professionals oversee our day-to-day operations and work with donors and community organizations to identify and address community needs.

CTE Scholarships

Dreaming of a career in welding? Maybe managing your own auto mechanics garage fuels your thoughts or you would love to become an electrician. Perhaps studying to become a chef in a culinary arts program suits your tastes.

No matter what your career path may be, there is little doubt that in recent years interest in Career and Technical Education (CTE) has grown. The increased need for workers skilled in the trades has resulted in larger numbers of students seeking out CTE programs.

Schools offering CTE encompass a wide variety of hands-on education, from HVAC to carpentry to cosmetology. In the past, financial assistance has been hard to come by for these areas of study, but that is no longer the case. Saginaw Community Foundation has several scholarship opportunities for those who have the desire to pursue CTE.

According to leading economists, not everyone needs a four-year degree. In fact, millions of good-paying jobs are opening up in the trades. And some pay better than what the average college graduate makes.

For aspiring welders, electricians, carpenters, and other valued skilled trade workers, there is great opportunity to take advantage of tailored CTE programs. The demand is massive as an estimated 3 million trade jobs in the United States remain vacant.

Our CTE scholarship awards range between $500 – $4,000 typically.

The Patricia and William Hendrick Memorial Scholarship

To honor Pat and Bill, their family and many friends established this scholarship to help Saginaw County residents who are going on to attend Catholic higher education. Special preference will be given to graduates of Nouvel Catholic Central High School and/or those attending the University of Notre Dame – two organizations which held a special place in their hearts.
