Opportunity Summary:
The Edward M. Kennedy Institute grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 10 1 0006) was a congressionally directed, mandatory Department of Defense grant intended specifically to provide funding for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. The authority for the award came from Section 8085 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-118). In practical terms, this was not a typical competitive grant program where multiple applicants submit proposals for consideration; it was a directed appropriation tied to a named recipient and purpose established by Congress.
The opportunity was categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and listed under a broad activity category of "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the nature of the funding was congressionally directed assistance. It was associated with CFDA 12.599 (Congressionally Directed Assistance), which is commonly used for earmark-style or specifically designated federal assistance awards.
Funding details were straightforward and fixed. The agency expected to make one award, and the total estimated funding was $18,616,500. Both the award ceiling and award floor were the same amount ($18,616,500), reinforcing that this was a single, predetermined award rather than a range-based program supporting multiple projects or variable award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Key dates show the announcement lifecycle: it was posted and created on August 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2010, and it was archived on September 19, 2010. Because the funding was congressionally directed, the short window and the limited eligibility were consistent with an administrative process meant to formalize an already-authorized allocation rather than to solicit broad public competition.
Eligibility was listed generically as "Others," but the eligibility description repeated the same directed-funding language, indicating that eligible applicants were effectively restricted to the intended recipient associated with the congressional direction (the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate). The sponsoring agency was the Department of Defense.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Han Park, Contract/Grant Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-588-1440.
