Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Center for Advanced Studies in Photonics Research (CASPR)" is a congressionally identified, earmarked award administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is categorized on Grants.gov as an "Earmark" opportunity and supports work in the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity area. Because it was specifically authorized by Congress for a named recipient, it is not a competitive funding opportunity and is not open to general applicants.
Funding was set aside exclusively for the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), specifically its Center for Advanced Studies in Photonics Research (CASPR). The listing makes clear that the application package was posted to Grants.gov only to allow the designated recipient to submit required forms electronically, rather than to solicit proposals from multiple organizations. In other words, the public posting functions as an administrative mechanism for submission and processing, not as an open call for new or competing project ideas.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "2009 CIP 12" and is associated with CFDA number 11.617 under the Congressionally Identified Projects program area. NIST expected to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $2,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning UMBC CASPR would not be required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the grant, at least as reflected in the posted summary.
Key timing details indicate the announcement was posted and created on June 9, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2009, and an archive date of July 19, 2009. These dates align with the nature of earmarked opportunities, which often have short submission windows because the recipient and funding purpose have already been established through the congressional authorization and agency planning.
Eligibility is narrowly limited. Although the general Grants.gov field lists eligible applicants as "Others," the eligibility clarification explicitly names the only eligible applicant as the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Center for Advanced Studies in Photonics Research (CASPR). This restriction is consistent with the description that the project was earmarked for this institution.
For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, reachable at 301-975-5718. This contact point appears intended for technical or administrative questions related to retrieving or submitting the required electronic forms rather than for programmatic inquiries from potential competing applicants, since competition is not part of this opportunity.
