Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, listed as Funding Opportunity Number 2010 CIP 05, was a congressionally identified, earmarked award administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It supported the University at Albany (SUNY), specifically the New York Center for National Competitiveness in Nanoscale Characterization within the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE). The program sits in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and was structured as a grant.
A key point is that the opportunity was not competitive. Congress authorized the funding for this specific project and named the intended recipient, meaning no other organizations could apply or be considered. Grants.gov was used only as a mechanism to collect the required electronic application forms from the designated institution, rather than as an open call for proposals. In other words, the posting functioned more like an administrative step to process an earmark than a typical federal funding competition.
The expected award profile reflected that structure: NIST anticipated making one award total, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Timing details show 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 announcement was moved out of active status. The listing is associated with CFDA number 11.617, identified as Congressionally Identified Projects, which aligns with the earmark nature of the award.
Eligibility was explicitly restricted. While the general eligible applicant category was labeled "Others" with a pointer to additional eligibility information, the eligibility statement made it clear that the only eligible recipient was the University at Albany (SUNY) New York Center for National Competitiveness in Nanoscale Characterization at CNSE. For administrative or access issues related to the announcement, the provided contact was Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant at NIST, reachable by phone at 301-975-5718.
