Portfolio context — this listing covers more than this opportunity
This opportunity is funded under Assistance Listing 12.800 (“Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program”), a broad federal program that made about 605 new awards per year over the last five fiscal years (median award $221k). Those figures describe that whole portfolio — not this specific solicitation, so we don't show them as if they were this opportunity's track record.
Applicant counts per solicitation are not published by any federal agency — no one can honestly sell you that number.
