Opportunity Summary:
The "University of Alabama - Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Teaching and Research Corridor" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 CIP 01) is a congressionally directed, non-competitive earmark administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Because Congress specifically authorized and identified the recipient institution, this opportunity was never intended to be competed among multiple applicants. Instead, it exists primarily as an administrative mechanism to allow the designated recipient to submit the required federal application paperwork through Grants.gov and to enable NIST to process and manage the award in a standardized grants system.
The program is categorized as an earmark and uses a grant as the funding instrument type, with its activity area listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a specified non-federal financial contribution as a condition of receiving the federal funds. The associated CFDA number is 11.617, identified as Congressionally Identified Projects, which aligns with the earmarked nature of the funding.
Eligibility is explicitly limited to one recipient: the University of Alabama - Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Teaching and Research Corridor. While the listing may show a broader eligible applicant category (for example, "Others"), the eligibility clarification makes clear that no other organization may apply. In practical terms, the Grants.gov posting serves to route the correct set of federal forms to the intended institution and prevent submissions from non-designated entities.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on March 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 12, 2010, and an archive date of May 12, 2010. These dates reflect the standard window for submitting the required documentation rather than a competitive application period, since the recipient was predetermined through congressional action.
For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, reachable at 301-975-5718. This contact information is geared toward administrative and electronic submission assistance rather than programmatic inquiries about eligibility or competition, since the award is restricted by design.
