Risks & flags

• Extremely long open window (~2 years) with a single closing date — may indicate a rolling/standing opportunity rather than a competitive one-time award, which can limit visibility for new applicants
• Minimal details provided in the synopsis — scope, budget, and evaluation criteria are not disclosed, making it difficult to assess competitiveness without reviewing the full FOA
