The intended cooperator is Bates College, and the eligible applicant category listed is private institutions of higher education, aligning with the fact that the award is tied to an established academic partner rather than a new competition. Because it is a continuation and sole intended award, the expected number of awards is one.
The total estimated funding for this action is $35,532, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $35,532, indicating a fixed funding amount rather than a range.
