Funding posture
Rare NOFOs under a mega ceiling
National Priority Safety Programs pairs a mega SAM.gov ceiling ($100,000 to $10.0 million) with a sparse Grants.gov trail (1 indexed row). Large paper capacity, few public solicitations: watch the open flags on those scarce listings rather than expecting a steady NOFO cadence.
