OMB Guidance:
V. Application Review Information
        3. Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates -- Optional.
        This section is intended to provide applicants with information they can use for planning purposes. If there is a single application deadline followed by the simultaneous review of all applications, the agency can include in this section information about the anticipated dates for announcing or notifying successful and unsuccessful applicants and for having awards in place. If applications are received and evaluated on a 荘rolling鋳 basis at different times during an extended period, it may be appropriate to give applicants an estimate of the time needed to process an application and notify the applicant of the agency痴 decision.

Additional Guidance:

• Do not enter the field name (shown in bold in the examples). The NOFO generator will enter the field name.
• Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates is the fourth of 4 subsections under Application Review Information. It is the third in OMB Guidance. The difference is due to the previous Department-specific field of Selection Factors, which is not in the OMB Guidance.
