Who is eligible to apply?

This grant competition is open to institutions of higher education, consortia thereof, public and private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, and individuals. If an application is submitted on behalf of a consortium, one entity must serve as the grantee.

Note: This grant competition limits eligibility to applicants that do not currently have an active grant under this program. For the purpose of this eligibility requirement, a grant is considered active until the end of the grant’s project or funding period, including any extensions of those periods that extend the grantee’s authority to obligate funds (71 FR 70369).
