Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $10,000,000

Given that the total available funding for this opportunity is $105 million and the number of expected applications is 25, we can estimate the average budget per grant. Assuming each grant will be awarded a similar amount, the average budget could be around $4.2 million per grant. However, the actual budget may vary depending on the specific projects and the number of grants awarded. Factors influencing the budget include the complexity and cost of the proposed projects, the number of eligible applicants, and the evaluation criteria used by the FTA.
