This NOFO employs a two-step application process: (1) the Concept Proposal and (2) the Full Application.
EDA will only review Full Applications submitted by applicants who first submitted a Concept Proposal. Any Full Application received from an applicant that did not submit a Concept Proposal will be deemed ineligible and not considered for funding.

gov/programs/rnta/resources/. Full Applications must be submitted through Grants. gov using the link that EDA will provide with its response to the Concept Proposal.
