Project Leads can only submit to one (1) topic area and cannot submit more than (1) solution summary, and one (1) full proposal. Project Leads must meet EHI eligibility criteria as per section 2.6. See Section 1.2 for Project Lead definition. The Government’s expectation is that all key members of the performer team will be onboard within 60 days of the award. If an organization / prosper has multiple submissions with the same Project Lead, all submissions after the first submission received we be determined to be no conforming. 28Q: Can a PI exclude leaves of absence (i.e. maternity, sabbatical, military etc.), post-doctoral and/or residency periods from the 8-year period of eligibly. 28A: Situations like this are highly case-dependent, however, the PI can exclude leaves of absence (i.e. maternity, sabbatical, military etc.), post-doctoral and/or residency and fellowship periods that may have impacted the 8-year period of eligibly. Failure to provide any/all relevant information relating to the PI’s eligibility on the solution summary cover page may result in the submission being determined non-conforming and subject to rejection without review. 27Q: Do I need to fill out the Other Transaction Agreement template when I submit my full proposal? 27A: The Model Other Transaction Agreement template (attachment G) is provided for reference and does not need to be completed or submitted as part of your full proposal submission.

Please note, Attachment D, Task Description Document (TDD) & Attachment E Milestone Payment Schedule are required for the full proposal
