Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 16.735, PREA Program: Strategic Support for PREA Implementation), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.
93 unique recipients in the sample; 60 repeat winners.
range $931 – $8.8M
Ask-amount guidance
Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $250k against a $2M ceiling (12%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.
Draw-down reality (program)
Across 76 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.
