💡 GrantQuick Tip
Unless you work at UTSA CIAS, ignore this entirely. This is a sole-source award to a congressionally designated consortium. It's publicly posted because federal rules require it, but there is no competitive process. If you ARE at UTSA CIAS, just make sure your application hits every requirement in the NOFO.
Competitiveness: Not applicable — sole-source to UTSA. Not a competitive opportunity.
