Six checks before committing to PAR-26-106.
For a university or nonprofit facilities team, the expensive mistake is not missing a search result. It is starting the application before a hard constraint, registration dependency, or required attachment is visible.

Section 02 — A worked screen
Illustrative, non-personal input shows the product's decision boundary. It does not represent a real applicant or an agency eligibility decision.
U.S. public university · Maryland · $5M request
The current official record confirms the entity category, an open deadline, no required cost share, and a request inside the listed range.
Foreign-component status, clinical-trial scope, institutional application count, facility scope and capability, performance site, and project duration still need answers. None is silently converted into a pass.
The two Assistance Listings do not have the same award pattern.

Section 03 — Six stop-or-proceed checks
Not inferred from a generic eligibility category. Each check is tied to the current official record or notice, and each one separates what the source settles from what only the applicant can answer.
-
Applicant organization
Hard gateConfirmed source factThe current notice accepts public or private higher-education institutions and qualifying nonprofit organizations.
Applicant fact still neededYour organization's exact entity category, as it will be entered on the application.
Stop conditionA city-government profile does not pass this C06 notice merely because Grants.gov lists broad applicant categories elsewhere.
-
Domestic organization and components
Hard gateConfirmed source factForeign organizations, foreign components of U.S. organizations, and non-U.S. components are excluded in the official eligibility text.
Applicant fact still neededDomicile, and the component structure of the proposed project — both answers are required, not one.
Stop conditionA foreign component anywhere in the proposed structure blocks the application under this notice.
-
Project and clinical-trial scope
Hard gateConfirmed source factThe project must be a supported research-facility construction or modernization effort with the required facility capability. Clinical trials are not allowed.
Applicant fact still neededThe project type, and whether any clinical trial is planned within it.
Stop conditionA planned clinical trial ends the pursuit under this notice, regardless of how strong the facility case is.
-
Institutional application count
Hard gateConfirmed source factOnly one application per institution is allowed.
Applicant fact still neededYour institution's intended application count for this notice.
Stop conditionWithout that count the check cannot be completed. It stays UNKNOWN rather than passing, because silence is not a count.
-
Amount and project period
Budget + scopeConfirmed source factThe requested amount must sit inside the $2 million to $8 million range, and the proposed period cannot exceed 60 months.
Applicant fact still neededThe amount you intend to request and the proposed project duration.
Stop conditionA request outside the listed range, or a period over 60 months, fails against the record as currently listed.
-
Registration and submission readiness
Submission gateConfirmed source factThe package carries mandatory forms and twelve named Other Attachments. SAM, UEI, Grants.gov and eRA Commons readiness are separate facts.
Applicant fact still neededEach registration's current state, recorded separately, plus a preparation status for every named attachment.
Stop conditionRegistration work that has not started is a schedule blocker rather than a paperwork detail. Confirm each one against the current package.
Section 04 — What the applicant supplies
No narrative. Only the structured facts that can change the result.
The beta asks for enumerated, non-personal facts: organization type, country, foreign-component status, project type, amount, duration, application count, registration readiness, and attachment readiness. It requires explicit intent and consent, and it does not retain the raw profile.
- PASS
- A supplied fact matches a cited predicate in the current record.
- FAIL
- The blocking fact is named, together with the controlling source.
- UNKNOWN
- UNKNOWN stays open; silence never becomes permission.
Section 05 — Evidence boundary
What this case study is, and what it is not.
This is a preparation aid, and it is not an agency decision. The case study demonstrates the screening method against current public sources. It does not claim that any real applicant is eligible, that a grant will be awarded, or that an application is complete. The complete notice and the current application package remain controlling.
