Funding posture

Mid-range ceiling, still NOFO-silent

The Assistance Listing advertises a mid-range award band ($500,000 to $3.0 million) for Early Reading First, but the indexed Grants.gov book is empty for this CFDA. Dollar capacity exists on paper; competitive announcements for this number are not currently in the crawl.
