Do applicants need to state if they are applying for a grant or cooperative agreement?
A. No. EPA will determine the type of legal relationship that the Agency will have with the awardee. Applicants may express a preference for a grant or cooperative agreement if they choose to do so. EPA anticipates that most of the proposals will be cooperative agreements, as usually only discrete research projects are designated as a grant. Each project selected will either be a grant or cooperative agreement; EPA will not mix both types of assistance agreements.
