Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 93.103, Food and Drug Administration Research), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

range $5k – $17.6M
Draw-down reality (program)
Across 205 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
