Do not infer the deadline time zone.

Atlas Analysis

Verified current Michigan-administered state grant. The 2026 MISGP supports prevention, early detection and response, limiting spread, management and control of terrestrial and aquatic invasive species, with proposals scored on program relevance, project quality, costs and other published criteria. Allowable costs include direct personnel, supplies/materials, contractual services, limited equipment and other defined project costs; purchased equipment generally may not exceed $5,000 per item, with specified exceptions, and indirect costs may not exceed 10% of the total grant. The program is reimbursement-based, permits justified advances up to 50%, requires State of Michigan procurement controls for contractors/vendors, and uses MiGrants. Atlas Opportunity Score remains 0 pending applicant-specific qualification and resolution of the unpublished deadline time zone. N9+ Fit: 0/100 on the verified program scope. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not an eligible prime applicant because for-profit entities are not listed as eligible applicants; any contractor role would be subject to the program's procurement requirements.
