COVID-

19


Technical Assistance Program (

CTAP

) that provides funding for national laboratory researchers to assist U.S. entities on

COVID-

19


projects.

The

DOE

National Laboratories have unique capabilities, facilities and tools, enabling them to provide technical services, analysis, testing, and consulting to external parties.

Eligibility is limited to projects providing COVID-

19

CTAP

funding is for technical assistance of limited duration/scope (projects up to

40

full-time-employee hours are considered appropriate). Projects exceeding that threshold will require justification.

CTAP-funded projects are not meant to be research-and-development intensive, nor are they intended to generate intellectual property.
