Award specific data, including information on the amount and recipient of each award made during the previous fiscal year, the location and industry classification of each award recipient, and the activity or activities the recipient is contractually required to complete, such as creating, retaining or training a certain number of employees or expending a certain amount of funds for capital investment, is available through the Interactive Project Data page.
