How to apply...
Application Procedure:
(1) Proposals are received from CMEA; and (2) application for Federal Assistance is received from CAS/CU. They then are sent to the OAR EEO Office for evaluation and processing, if applicable. Proposals are subject to the requirements of the appropriate OMB Circular Nos. A-110 and A-122, as applicable.
Note: Each program will indicate whether applications are to be submitted to the Federal headquarters, regional or local office, or to a State or local government office.
Award Procedure:
Awards are made on the basis of proposal evaluations, technical, and administrative reviews. (1) These awards are non-competitive (sole source) because CMEA is the only Colorado organization that administers a Math, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program; (2) this Cooperative Agreement is non-competitive (sole source) because of the existing relationship between the Colorado Alliance for Science/University of Colorado and OAR. There is substantial involvement and knowledge of existing programs, and close collaboration in providing a benefit to the general public by both parties.
Note: Grant payments may be made by a letter of credit, advance by Treasury check, or reimbursement by Treasury check.
Awards may be made by the headquarters office directly to the applicant, an agency field office, a regional office,
or by an authorized county office. The assistance may pass through the initial applicant for further distribution by
intermediate level applicants to groups or individuals in the private sector.
