Award economics. The award range on file is $750,000 -- $6,800,000. The agency has projected $9.3 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 6 awards.

Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources, factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
