Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "2011 05 PATCH" is a discretionary grant program listed under the funding activity category of Agriculture. It is explicitly labeled as being for testing purposes only, and the description provided does not outline any real program goals, project requirements, or applicant responsibilities beyond the basic posting metadata. The opportunity was posted and created on January 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of January 30, 2012, indicating an extremely short application window of roughly one day. The archive date is February 29, 2012, meaning the listing was later stored as an archived record after the opportunity period ended.
This opportunity indicates an expectation of one award in total. The award floor and award ceiling are both listed as 1, which suggests a placeholder or test entry rather than a realistic funding range, since both minimum and maximum award amounts are identical and unusually low. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, at least as reflected in the listing.
Eligibility is limited to "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." In plain terms, the eligible applicant category points to nonprofit organizations that are not recognized as 501(c)(3) charities, and it excludes higher education institutions from that category. No additional eligibility details are provided, such as whether certain types of nonprofit entities are preferred, whether there are geographic restrictions, or whether partnerships are allowed.
The listing includes a CFDA number shown as "00.000 - Not Elsewhere Classified," which is commonly used as a generic placeholder when a program is not mapped to a specific CFDA/assistance listing or when the record is incomplete or, as noted here, intended for testing. Because the announcement content is intentionally minimal, it does not provide details on allowable costs, period of performance, evaluation criteria, required forms, reporting expectations, or the selection process.
For support related to accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact provided is Narmada Marri, identified as a GDIT Support Admin, with the phone number 571-594-5518. The contact line appears to include some nonspecific placeholder text as well, which further reinforces that the posting is not a standard, fully developed competitive funding announcement.
