Opportunity Summary:
The "University of Rhode Island - Rhode Island Consortium for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 CIP 11) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) grant that was issued as a congressionally identified project, meaning it was specifically earmarked by Congress for a named recipient rather than opened up for general competition. Because it is an earmark, it is not a competitive solicitation and no other organizations may apply. Grants.gov was used only as an electronic mechanism for the designated recipient to submit the required application forms, not as a platform for collecting proposals from multiple applicants.
The program sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant). NIST anticipated making one award in total, reflecting the single-recipient nature of the earmark. The estimated total funding amount listed for the project is $1,250,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 11.617, identified as Congressionally Identified Projects.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on March 2, 2010. The original and current closing date were both April 12, 2010, and the opportunity was scheduled to be archived on May 12, 2010. Eligibility is explicitly limited: the only eligible recipient is the University of Rhode Island - Rhode Island Consortium for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, even though the general "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled and points readers to additional eligibility information for clarification.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Christopher Hunton, Grants Technical Assistant, reachable by phone at 301-975-5718.
