Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Mississippi State University - Expansion of the Research, Technology and Economic Development Park" was a congressionally directed, non-competitive earmark administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Because Congress specifically identified Mississippi State University for this project when it authorized the funding, the opportunity was not open for general competition. Grants.gov application materials were posted only as a procedural requirement so the designated recipient could submit the necessary federal forms electronically, not to invite other applicants.
The award instrument was a grant, and the activity focus fell under science and technology and other research and development. The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $6,000,000. The CFDA listing associated with the project was 11.617, labeled under Congressionally Identified Projects. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning Mississippi State University was not required to provide a mandatory non-federal financial contribution as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility was explicitly restricted. While the general EligibleApplicants field references "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, the eligibility statement makes it clear that only one entity could apply and receive the award: Mississippi State University for the expansion of its Research, Technology and Economic Development Park. In practical terms, this type of posting functions more like a formalized paperwork channel for an already-selected recipient rather than a traditional discretionary grant program where multiple institutions compete.
Key dates reflect the administrative window for the designated recipient to submit materials. The opportunity was posted and created on March 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 12, 2010. The archive date was May 12, 2010, indicating when the listing was removed from active status in the system after the submission period ended.
For support related to accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, reachable by phone at 301-975-5718. This contact detail is primarily relevant for technical or administrative issues tied to the announcement or electronic submission process rather than for questions about applicant competitiveness, since the award was already congressionally directed.
