Additional Information of Eligibility:
The CA will be awarded to a Consortium of organizations that may include academic, industrial and non-profit organizations.

To assure the creation of a well focused research program, the number of partners should balance the need for expertise in all four material classes and the five core elements with the need to maintain a focused, cohesive, well integrated research program.

The Consortium must be led by an academic institution that will be charged with spearheading the focused basic research program.

This organization will be designated as the Lead Research Organization (LRO).

It is anticipated that an optimally sized consortium would include no more than six members (including the LRO), but this should not be considered a hard limit.

Proposals that include more than six members must provide a rationale for the additional members.

Additionally, it is required that “covered educational institutions” (to include Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions or HBCU/MSIs) shall receive 5-10% of the annual CA funding.

The Consortium will function as a collective of equal partners deciding upon all Consortium matters equally.

These researchers and research topics, while part of the Annual Program Plan, will be subawardees to one of the Consortium Members and not part of the Consortium proper.

To insure these new ideas and innovations are a core element of the CA, ten percent (10%) of the annual research effort is expected to be devoted to novel and innovative research conducted by these subawardees.

The Alliance will also be able to seek opportunities for basic and applied research from other government agencies that enhance and or parallel the core basic research program of the CRA.
