“Duplication of efforts” is defined as programmatic, budgetary, or commitment overlap: Programmatic overlap occurs when 1) substantially the same project is proposed in more than one application or is submitted to two or more funding sources for review and funding consideration or 2) a specific objective and the project design for accomplishing the objective are the same or closely related in two or more applications or awards, regardless of the funding source. Budgetary overlap occurs when duplicate or equivalent budgetary items (e.g., equipment, salaries) are requested in an application but already are provided by another source. Commitment overlap occurs when an individual’s time commitment exceeds 100 percent, whether salary support is requested in the application. Applicants are responsible for reporting duplication of efforts if this application will result in programmatic, budgetary, or commitment overlap with another application submitted or funding award (i.e., cooperative agreement, contract, or grant) received from another funding source in the same fiscal year. Overlap, whether programmatic, budgetary, or commitment of an individual’s effort greater than 100 percent, is not permitted.
