                are extending the deadline for transmittal of applications in order to
                allow applicants more time to prepare and submit their applications.
                This extension reflects consideration of the
                [[Page 30691]]
                adverse effect the COVID-19 pandemic has had on potential applicants.
                 Note: All information in the NIA for this competition remains
                the same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of
                applications.
                 Note: Grants.gov has relaxed the requirement for applicants to
                have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM)
                in order to apply for funding during the COVID-19 pandemic. An
                applicant that does not have an active SAM registration can still
                register with Grants.gov, but must contact the Grants.gov Support
                Desk, toll-free, at 1-800-518-4726, in order to take advantage of
