Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program's design as a state-based assistance network. Award amounts range widely, with a minimum award floor of $5,000 and a maximum award ceiling of $2,000,000, suggesting funding levels can vary substantially depending on the state program's size, scope, and approved budget.
