A federal contract opportunity for work on advanced driver assistance systems on road networks at Fish and Wildlife Service National Wildlife Refuges.
⚑ Federal contract solicitation; eligibility, evaluation criteria, and scope details are not fully stated in the notice text provided. · Appears to be a DOT/Volpe procurement for work at FWS NWR road networks, not a grant or assistance award.
This is a transportation/ADAS applied engineering opportunity for road networks and vehicle systems at wildlife refuges, with no clear social-behavioral, policy, risk-perception, or education-evaluation component. The team might have peripheral interest in environmental siting issues, but this is not plausibly PI-level work for anyone in the IPPRA roster.
