This competition (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-020111-001) anticipated making about 19 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $9,500,000. Individual awards could be as large as $500,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
