This is a formula funding opportunity, meaning funding is allocated across eligible jurisdictions according to an established formula rather than through a purely competitive ranking. The eligible applicants are state governments, and the program anticipates making awards across a wide set of jurisdictions, with an expected 56 awards. The award ceiling listed for the solicitation is $16,611,430, reflecting the maximum amount associated with the opportunity.
