The funding instrument is a grant, and the program is listed under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start. The award ceiling is listed as $17,078,918 and the floor is $0, which typically indicates that awards could range in size up to the full annual amount depending on the approved scope and final funding decisions.
