This is a sole-source award restricted to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and the Pentagon Memorial Fund, so a public university like the University of Oklahoma would not be eligible. While it is loosely related to national security history and public education, it is not a research opportunity and does not match IPPRA’s portfolio or research mission.
