Electronic and Paper Proposal Submissions. All applicants must individually submit their respective work plans and associated budget plans directly to the National Clean Plant (NCPN) network at xxxx@xxxx.xxx. An exception is where one or more institutions choose to apply for consideration as a sub-grantee to a principal applicant. In such a case however, work plans and budget submissions traceable down to individual sub-grantee institutions are encouraged. All applicants, or sub-grantees if several entities submit work plans under a single proposal coordinated by a lead applicant, must still complete individual work plans including content similar (or essentially equivalent) to the format provided in this Request for Proposals. Applicants also have the option of sending paper renditions of the work plans and financial plans to NCPN at the address in Part VIII ‘Agency Contacts’ of this Request for Proposals.
