1) Annual Program Statement (APS)
Through APS, proposals are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year and will be reviewed quarterly. Proposals that address key strategic interests may be approved for funding outside the Notice of Funding Opportunity cycle.
* Please see the details of APS here.

Annually, awards are granted through project specific “Notice of Funding Opportunities.” Please see the announcements below for objectives, requirements, and projected total amount of funding for each of the project category of our FY2023 funding priorities.
