Grants and Cooperative Agreements
Another way to partner with PSCR is by responding to a Notice of Federal Funding Opportunities (NOFO). PSCR leverages the NOFO process to accelerate research, development, production, and testing activities in key focus areas. Proposals received as a result of a NOFO are evaluated in accordance with specified evaluation criteria through a technical review process. PSCR will publicize funding opportunities as they become available and will post the funding notice to the PSCR website. The official announcements will also be available on Grants.gov. Learn more.
