Up to $27.3 million over three years may be available for this funding opportunity, pending appropriations and availability of funding approved by participating NOPP agencies. Letters of intent should be submitted by November 2, 2018 and full proposals are due either on December 21, 2018, or on January 18, 2019 based on the research topic area.
