The NOFO states on page 8 that the consortium may include (along with two or more non-profit institutions of higher education) additional members such as “…State, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) Departments of Transportation and Departments of Public Works, metropolitan and regional planning organizations, etc.”…. However, there is contradictory language on page 9 of the previous version of the NOFO stating that any application “…submitted by or including in its consortium an entity other than a U.S. non-profit institution of higher education will not be eligible or considered for selection.” We have amended the NOFO’s language on page 9 to the following: “Any application submitted by the lead entity other than a U.S. non-profit institution of higher education will not be eligible or considered for selection.” To clarify, an application can include entities other than a U.S. non-profit institution of higher education as members of the consortium, but the lead entity submitting the application must be a U.S. non-profit institution of higher education. |
