Opportunity Summary:
The "University of Maryland Baltimore County - Maryland Center of Excellence for Terahertz Science and Application" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 CIP 10) is a congressionally directed, non-competitive earmark administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In practical terms, this means Congress specifically identified this project and institution for funding when it authorized the work, so the announcement was not intended to solicit proposals from the broader research community. Instead, the listing existed mainly to provide an official mechanism for the designated recipient to submit the required federal grant paperwork through Grants.gov.
The award is structured as a grant within the federal activity category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 11.617 (Congressionally Identified Projects). NIST anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding level of $2,000,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which indicates the federal funding was expected to cover the approved project costs under the grant terms, subject to standard federal allowability and oversight rules.
Eligibility was explicitly limited to one organization: the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), specifically the Maryland Center of Excellence for Terahertz Science and Application. Although the general eligibility field shows "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, the detailed eligibility statement clarifies that no other applicants were eligible because the funding was earmarked for UMBC. To support this closed eligibility model, the application forms were placed on Grants.gov in a way that only the designated recipient could submit electronically, reinforcing that the listing functioned as an administrative entry point rather than an open call for proposals.
Key dates 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 window for the designated recipient to complete submission steps, not a competitive cycle. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the agency provided a point of contact: Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, reachable at 301-975-5718.
