Opportunity Summary:
The National Academy of Sciences Printed Electronics Study grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 2009 CIP 20) was a congressionally identified, earmarked award administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It supported a science and technology research and development effort focused on a printed electronics study to be carried out by the National Academy of Sciences. Because Congress specifically authorized and directed funding to that institution, the opportunity was not open to competitive applications from the public, and no other organization was eligible to apply in practice.
The award mechanism was a grant, with an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) and an estimated total funding amount of $475,000. The listing references CFDA 11.617 under the category of Congressionally Identified Projects, and it explicitly stated 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 award.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 6, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2009, and an archive date of October 6, 2009. The use of Grants.gov in this case was administrative rather than competitive: the required application forms were made available electronically, but configured so that only the designated recipient could submit them. In other words, the Grants.gov posting functioned primarily as a formal submission channel for mandatory paperwork tied to an already-decided congressional allocation, not as an invitation for proposals.
Eligibility was effectively restricted to the National Academy of Sciences for this specific printed electronics study, even though the general Eligible Applicants field used a broad label (Others) and directed readers to additional eligibility information for clarification. The opportunity was issued by NIST, and the listed point of contact for access issues or assistance with the announcement was Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, reachable by phone at 301-975-5718.
