Operating funds are seen as critical to achieving the commercialization goals of the program. Is the 15% cap on the operating fund request inconsistent with meeting the commercialization goals?
No. We are taking the best advantage of the mix of funds available and the cap was established based on the relative proportions of the different funds. If a Lead Applicant sees this cap as prohibitive, then appropriate cost share should be used to compensate for the inability to provide more funds in this category.
