FAA-funded research may use any scientific methodology deemed appropriate by the grantee. Rather, the evaluation criteria for grant and cooperative agreement proposals will include the potential application of research results to the FAA's long-term goals for civil aviation technology. The FAA also encourages cost sharing where both the FAA Program Office and the grantee provide a portion of the financial assets needed to fund the research projects, resulting in both reaping the benefits of the results. We will be moving toward a totally electronic process for grant administration in the future. As of April 1997, the first phase of the program is now underway and a feasibility test is being performed.
