This is not a grant award; it is a federal Request for Information from NAVAIR to gauge whether a nonprofit could run the DoD STARBASE youth STEM program at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC. Only nonprofits may respond, and even a strong response guarantees nothing, since the government may never issue a solicitation or award. For-profit businesses and small businesses should not bother, and no funding amount or award deadline is published.
