Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 93.121, Oral Diseases and Disorders Research), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Program volume ~300 awards/yr

174 unique recipients in the sample; 78 repeat winners.

range $13k – $16.1M

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 76 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 84% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
