Plain-English explanation

Eligible applicants include higher-education institutions, nonprofits, state and local governments, foreign organizations and foreign public entities, and for-profit organizations, subject to the full BAA.

Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

AAL intends to competitively select basic and applied research proposals in its research areas of interest under the authorities cited in the announcement.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The proposed work is scientific research that can reasonably be characterized as basic or applied research. The project can be mapped directly to an AAL research area of interest specified in the full BAA. The applicant is an institution of higher education, nonprofit, state or local government, foreign organization, foreign public entity, or for-profit organization. The applicant can use Grants.gov for submission and complete the SAM.gov and Grants.gov registrations identified in the application record.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

No formal evaluation criteria or scoring rubric are included in the supplied evidence. The most supportable inference is that reviewers will need to assess whether a proposal is basic or applied scientific research within an AAL area of interest; the full BAA is required to determine the actual selection factors.
