Annual cycle (verified 2026-07-30 against the 2026 Zenith RFA): LOI early December, full application mid-March; the 2026 cycle closed March 18, 2026 with award notifications due by August 31, 2026. NOT discontinued - its absence from the types-of-grants listing is a cycle-state artifact, because that page lists only programs currently accepting LOIs or applications.
