With the release of funding wave 36 on March 2, 2017, funding year 2016 crossed the $2.3 billion funding commitment mark. The FY2016 filing window opened more than a year ago. Despite the passage of so much time, and even though the FY2017 filing window is now open, about one quarter of the requested FY2016 funds are still pending.
