Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "This is a fake RFA please do not apply," is not a real funding announcement and was intentionally created as a test or demonstration posting. The issuing office, PM/WRA (PM Weapons Removal and Abatement, associated with CFDA 19.800 Weapons Removal and Abatement), states that it is developing a GrantSolutions user manual from the perspective of a grant recipient and used this mock announcement solely for training or documentation purposes. The notice explicitly instructs applicants not to apply.
On paper, the listing is formatted like a standard discretionary federal grant opportunity and includes typical administrative fields such as a Funding Opportunity Number (PM PMWRA 15 001), a Funding Instrument Type (Grant), and an Activity Category listed as "Other" with no further explanation. It shows no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and it indicates eligibility as "Unrestricted," meaning it appears open to any applicant type unless otherwise limited in the full text. However, these elements should be viewed as placeholders rather than true program requirements, since the announcement itself is a dummy entry created for a user manual.
The timeline fields also resemble a normal opportunity listing: it was posted and created on November 3, 2014, lists a closing date of September 30, 2015, and an archive date of October 30, 2015. Despite those dates, the announcement is not meant to result in awards. The award funding fields reinforce that point, showing an award ceiling of $0 and an award floor of $0, which effectively signals that no grant dollars are available through this posting.
For assistance related to accessing the announcement in Grants.gov (again, for access issues rather than to pursue an application), the contact information provided is the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. The key takeaway is that this is a deliberately fake Request for Applications used to support internal guidance and should not be treated as an actual funding opportunity.
