If a non-profit community-based organization were to respond to the FOA/RFA, would a partnership with an academic institution be required before the proposal is submitted?
Yes. An important goal of this initiative is to promote partnerships between academia and community organizations. Evidence of partnerships may include current or previous research collaborations. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) should clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities of the collaborating individuals, institutions and organizations.
