This opportunity is categorized as "Other" rather than a standard competitive discretionary grant competition, and the eligibility language makes clear that it was not open for proposals. Instead, it is described as an intent to award specifically to the National Council of Traditional Arts, meaning the agency had already identified the recipient and was proceeding through the required public posting process rather than soliciting applications from the broader public. While the Eligible Applicants field is broadly labeled "Others," the accompanying eligibility statement overrides that general category by specifying the non-competitive intent to award.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on July 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 10, 2013, followed by an archive date of August 9, 2013.
