Additional Information on Eligibility

In accordance with 2 CFR 910.126, Competition, eligibility for this NOFO is restricted because BETO provides substantial appropriations for ongoing research and development (R&D) at national laboratories. To ensure there are funding opportunities for the private sector, consistent with Congressional and DOE priorities, this NOFO is restricted to exclude DOE/NNSA FFRDCs/National Laboratories from applying for funding as a prime recipient, although those entities are eligible to participate as subrecipients.
