Budget estimate

$100,000 – $30,000,000

The estimated budget for this opportunity can be estimated based on the award floor and ceiling. The award floor is $100,000 and the award ceiling is $30,000,000. The estimated funding for the program is $121,127,200. Assuming an average award amount, the budget could range from $100,000 to $30,000,000. However, considering the program's goals and the number of awards (30), a more realistic estimate might be between $500,000 and $5,000,000. Factors influencing the likely payment range include the type of research facility, the scope of work, and the institution's experience.
