Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "University of Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 10 1 0012), is a mandatory Department of Defense grant created to distribute congressionally directed assistance to the University of Montana. The authority for the award comes from the Department of Defense Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2010, Public Law 111-118, and the announcement text repeatedly emphasizes that the funding is specifically directed by Congress rather than awarded through an open, competitive grant process. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that it is congressionally directed funding for the University of Montana under the FY 2010 DoD appropriations law.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,970,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor are set at exactly $1,970,000, which effectively indicates a fixed award size rather than a range of possible grant amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 12.599, which corresponds to "Congressionally Directed Assistance," a category commonly used for earmarked or specifically directed allocations.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. While the general eligible applicant category is labeled "Others," the eligibility narrative makes clear that this funding is intended for the University of Montana as the congressionally named recipient. In practical terms, that means it is not a broadly open solicitation for universities or other organizations; it is an administrative vehicle to award funds to the specified institution consistent with congressional direction.
Timing for the opportunity was very short. The opportunity was posted and created on September 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2010, and it was archived on October 10, 2010. Those dates reinforce the nature of the program as a directed award rather than a standard competitive cycle, since the window between posting and closing was only one day.
The awarding agency is the Department of Defense. For access issues or help with the full electronic announcement, the listed contact is Richard Washington, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-588-1458. The overall description does not provide programmatic details about project scope, deliverables, or research focus areas, and instead centers on the legal authority and the fact of the congressionally directed allocation to the University of Montana.
