Deadline and action path. This opportunity is open, but Grants.gov has not published a hard closing date — check the official listing for the current deadline and any posted amendments. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID.

Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.
