Discretionary Cooperative Agreements for Development of Crash Outcome Data Evaluation Systems

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announces a discretionary cooperative agreement program to assist states in the development and use of Crash Outcome Data Evaluation Systems (CODES) and solicits applications for projects under this program from states who have not previously been funded to develop CODES. Under this program states will link their existing statewide traffic records with medical outcome and charge data. The linkage will involve population-based data for the two most current calendar years of available data since 1994 and must result in a linked data file that, if not statewide, is representative and generalizable for highway traffic purposes statewide. The linked data will be used to support highway safety decision-making statewide to reduce deaths, non-fatal injuries, and health care costs resulting from motor vehicle crashes. The linkage and highway traffic safety application of the linked data for decision-making must be completed within 18 months of the funding date.
