Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $12,000,000. The agency has projected $120.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 20 awards. If the agency funds the expected 20 awards from the $120.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $6.0 million. 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.
