Foreign government-owned parastatal organizations from countries that are ineligible for assistance under the FAA or related appropriations acts are ineligible. Potential for-profit applicants should note that, pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements is prohibited. However, if a prime recipient has a subcontract with a for-profit organization for the acquisition of goods or services (i.e., if a buyerseller relationship is created), fee/profit for the (subcontractor is authorized). ● U.S. and Non-U.S. Colleges and Universities Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities may apply for funding under this APS.
