Additional Information of Eligibility:Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education and federally funded educational institutions such as the Naval Postgraduate School.
This restriction is needed because the results of the collaboration are to be incorporated in academic processes which ensure academic multidisciplinary peer review as well as Federal review of scientific validity for use in operations.
Federal applicants must demonstrate that they have legal authority to receive funds from another federal agency in excess of their appropriation.
Because this announcement is not proposing to procure goods or services from applicants, the Economy Act (31 U.S.C.
