Can UARCs and other FFDRCs be prime on a proposal?  \nA: No. Section C of the NOFO states:  \nThe following entities below are eligible to apply for this NOFO:  \n􀀀 Private institutions of higher education  \n􀀀 Public & State controlled institutions of higher education AND  \nThe following listed below are organizations that are eligible and encouraged to submit a proposal:  \n􀀀 Universities and Colleges. Universities and two‐ and four‐year colleges (including community colleges) accredited by a U.S. Department of Education recognized accrediting agency, and having a campus located in the U.S;  \n􀀀 Organizations are referred to as academic institutions for the purposes of this Solicitation.  \nAll non‐academic institutions regardless of profit or non‐profit status are ineligible to participate.  \n2. Please clarify the available funding for the Base period.  \nA: The base period lasts 2 years but is funded annually. The NOFO states that the available  \nfunding is approximately $1 .3M and expected number of awards is 5‐7. Therefore a rough estimate for first year funding for an individual award is $185,000 ‐ $260,000 . The second year of the base period is estimated approximately the same, assuming successful progress of the project and funding availability.  \nAs of 8 August 2018  \n3. What ingress pathways on the east coast may be of most interest?  \nA: Shipments originating from Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands.  \n4. What kind of datasets will you be offering to universities for Topic 1?  \nA: Please refer to the Topic 1 text which describes some of the possibilities. CWMD has test data covering most of these options which can be used during the feasibility base period.  \n5. Can any datasets be provided to the proposer ahead of awards?  \nA: No.  \n6. Is it necessary to immediately commit to a relationship with a particular national laboratory or industrial partner at the proposal stage?  \nA: There are advantages of having a partner early in the project to help guide research. However, if a partner cannot be secured by the proposal submission deadline, applicants should describe their outreach to date in the proposal and, if awarded, must secure a partner during the initial 2 year base period of the award. This is described on pages 4 and 5 of the NOFO.  \n7. Will a proposal call for related lab/industry projects be released?  \nA: Any future proposal calls for lab/industry projects will be made to be suitable for that level of effort and not directly tied to this TSI NOFO.  \n8. Can lab/industry partners be funded?  \nA: Yes, they can be funded as subcontractors in the proposal. Universities must be the prime contractor. As a successful award progresses through the 5 year life time, it is expected, but not required, that the partner involvement (and therefore funding) will increase to help facilitate technology development and transition. However, it is up to each applicant to determine the path that is best for them.","cbCaimqq31KnxTT1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimqq31KnxTT1","pdf",104752,"English","# Questions and Answers\n## Eligibility and Prime Role\n## Funding and Award Estimates\n## Datasets and Access\n## Partnerships and Future Solicitations","[{\"question\":\"Can UARCs and other FFDRCs be prime on a proposal?\",\"answer\":\"No. The NOFO states only eligible academic entities may apply as described in Section C.\"},{\"question\":\"How is funding structured for the base period, and what are the estimated award amounts?\",\"answer\":\"The base period lasts 2 years but is funded annually.
