LOI WINDOW CLOSED (verified 2026-07-30): the LOI deadline was July 16, 2026 and full proposals are now by invitation only (invitations October 2, 2026); award term July 1, 2027 - June 30, 2032. CAUTION: the program page's banner still reads 'Now Accepting Letters of Intent', which is STALE and contradicts its own key-dates table -- BWF's /upcoming-deadlines/ page omits PATH entirely. Do not store this as OPEN on the banner's say-so.
