Opportunity Summary:

The "University of Kentucky Firefighter Gear Safety Research Program" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 CIP 09) was a congressionally identified, earmarked award administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It was categorized as an earmark grant within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area, with a single anticipated award and an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The associated CFDA number listed for this opportunity was 11.617, which is tied to Congressionally Identified Projects.

This opportunity was not a competitive funding announcement. Congress specifically authorized and directed the funding to a named recipient, meaning the award was reserved for the University of Kentucky Firefighter Gear Safety Research Program and no other applicants were eligible. While the posting on Grants.gov might resemble an open federal grant listing, the purpose of placing the application package online was strictly administrative: it allowed the designated recipient to submit the required federal forms electronically through the standard grants system, rather than inviting proposals from the general public.

Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on March 2, 2010, with an application closing date of April 12, 2010, and an archive date of May 12, 2010. The funding instrument type was a grant, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating the recipient was not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The listing also notes "Eligible Applicants: Others," but the eligibility clarification makes it explicit that the only eligible entity was the University of Kentucky Firefighter Gear Safety Research Program due to the earmark nature of the project.

For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the agency contact listed was Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant at NIST, reachable by phone at 301-975-5718.
