Funding posture
Rare NOFOs under a mega ceiling
Space Science Research pairs a mega SAM.gov ceiling ($200,000 to $5.0 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.

Campus applicant desk · Science & Research
Educational institutions are the sole printed applicant type for CFDA 43.007. Space Science Research reads as a campus Assistance Listing, not a civic or commercial open desk.
Predominantly procurement contracts (PC) · CFDA 43.007
75% of the 12 indexed listings under CFDA 43.007 are procurement contracts (PC), the SAM.gov-coded mechanism Space Science Research typically uses to move money. None of the indexed listings require applicant cost-sharing.
- Estimated funding, indexed listings with a reported figure
- $8.3 million across 2 listings (avg $4.1 million)
- Expected awards, indexed listings with a reported count
- 24 across 5 listings
Figures are computed from the full indexed Grants.gov book for CFDA 43.007, not the 10 listings shown below; a listing missing a field is excluded from that field's total, not counted as zero.
Archived NOFO book · CFDA 43.007
None of the 12 indexed Grants.gov listings under CFDA 43.007 are open on the current extract. Reported award ceilings swing from $150,000 to $6.0 million (40×); treat any single listing's ceiling as a local bound, not the program's typical award. 100% of listings carry the Science and Technology / R&D (ST) funding-activity code.

Open counts use the same posted+close_date rule as the rest of PlainGrants; funding-activity codes are the Grants.gov category_of_funding field (first code when several are joined). Ceiling median is over positive reported ceilings only.
