Types of Awards:
There are three types of awards. The appropriate award type may vary depending on the nature of the project proposed, and will be determined during pre-award negotiations with successful applicants. The three types are: fixed amount awards, cooperative agreements, and standard grants. Fixed amount awards are appropriate when costs are highly predictable. Cooperative agreements are appropriate when there will be substantial involvement by the U.S. government in project implementation. Awards that do not fit either of these categories will be issued as standard grants.
