Round 1 RFP EVALUATION CRITERIA
 ALIGNMENT WITH AFRL, NASA GRC AND NASIC RESEARCH
 Do the proposed projects of the COE meet the applications/user driven requirements derived from
emerging mission focus areas of NASA and DOD? Does the project have a government sponsor at one of
the national labs? Each project needs to identify their sponsor by name, job description, organization and
provide their contact information including email address. THIS IS A GO/NO GO FOR EACH PROJECT.
 The Evaluation Team will validate each federal lab sponsor as well as validate the relationship of the
project to the overall priorities of AFRL, NASIC, and NASA GRC.
 A clear statement of the requirement being addressed and the overarching technical goals and objectives
of that requirement and the proposed research activity
 Each research topic that is proposed is required to have a sponsor/supporting Principle Investigator (PI) or
Program Manager (PM) at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) or
National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC). Identified federal research collaborators should be
identified by name, title, email address and contact information.
 COE’s are encouraged to not only identify the "owner" of the federal research requirement they are
addressing, but also, to demonstrate and establish a working relationship with the federal PI(s) PM(s) that
augments and supports their related research portfolio. The intent is to develop an impedance match
between researchers both “inside and outside the fence” that is key to success in the FRN collaborative
environment.
 The appropriate Federal laboratory will provide the evaluation and feedback as to whether or not this
criterion has been met. Note: Proposals must clearly identify the federal requirement.
 Ensure that FRN monies will not to be used to finance projects that were previously funded by AFRL,
NASIC, or NASA but that have now been terminated by that Agency.

Round 1 RFP EVALUATION CRITERIA
JOB CREATION

The number of jobs the project will create (12 months, 24 months, and 36 months respectively). If there is no industry cost
share, then the long-term impact to Ohio industry should be considered. What industry/government contracts will subject
matter experts, new capability or capacity potentially support? What are the proposed projects degree of alignment with
Ohio industries and its potential to impact job creation? Cost share from industry partners would be a measure of
alignment. THIS IS A GO/NO GO FOR EACH PROJECT.
 The FRN will utilize best practices adopted by JobsOhio and affiliated regional economic development
organizations in the state to evaluate this criteria based on validated data provided by participating
companies and organization through the COE’s.
 The alignment of programs will create jobs in Ohio from expanded research activities. These successes
either keep more federal competitive contract research dollars in Ohio or import additional federal
research funds from outside Ohio. Additional success metrics for job creation and economic impact in
Ohio include:
 Transitioning federal research to a private sector company who will further the research or provide a
product or service directly related to the federal contract. Jobs created will be predominantly in the
private sector.
 Research projects that train and equip participating individuals for jobs going unfilled in Ohio at WPAFB,
GRC or private enterprises by creating the talent pool necessary to gain/retain the associated federal
missions and/or business operations.
 Creation of graduate students supported through the federal research projects will be considered a
progress milestone. New job creation exits when the graduates stay in Ohio and go to work in a full time
equivalent job
 COE should strive for cost sharing from Industry and provide funding to industry on a value added, in
particular job creation as the result of funding to industry will be a key evaluation
10
Round 1 RFP EVALUATION CRITERIA
 COLLABORATION
 What is the proposed level of collaboration between the university partners? Is the project a collection of
independent sub-projects or is it truly an integrated approach to meeting a technical objective of a federal
agency or company?
 Creation of test beds for Ohio firms that enable them to test and validate their systems and technologies
on approved government platform and to secure new government contracts as subs to prime contractors,
additional members of large task order agreements, or as standalone small business contracts.
 Identified opportunities to explore collaboration between other FRN COE’s to achieve project success.
(This will secure bonus points on the evaluation)
 Identified possibilities of external collaboration with COE partnerships that would contribute to COE
objectives.
 Identified opportunities to explore collaboration between other FRN COE’s to achieve project success.
(This will secure bonus points on the evaluation)
11
Round 1 RFP EVALUATION CRITERIA
FUNDING ROI
 As the state funds are an investment intended to attract additional federal, foundation or
industry funding – what are some of the key procurement targets each project will attempt
to secure with this additional funding? Targets should be called out by name and
agency/organization. How does the project improve the long-term competitiveness of Ohio’s
universities, federal labs or industries? Success of the COES will be measured by:
 More research funding coming to Ohio from AFRL, NASIC and NASA GRC because we are
building a more competitive environment in the state, not a handout or give away.
 More federal research committed to Ohio through collaboration with AFRL, NASIC and GRC
as intermediary partners that bring additional work to Ohio from out of State. In this
collaboration, AFRL, NASIC and GRC execute federal research work outside their normal
POM budget cycle.
 More federal research to Ohio because the COE's proactively respond to outside federal
proposals that relate their core business focus areas for other agencies.
 More SBIR funding and small business funding to Ohio firms working in areas related to the
COE funded projects.
 Successful COE proposals will identify not only the plan for expenditure of state and
matching funds on the selected research focus areas in the RFP, but also, will demonstrate
an understanding of and coherent plan to pursue additional related business development
opportunities that will leverage the initial state investment in these emerging mission
requirements. Proposals must clearly identify key federal and state procurement targets12and
their timing as well as potential sponsored research opportunities.
Round 1 RFP EVALUATION CRITERIA
COST SHARE
 Proposals that include university/government/industry matching funds are
strongly encouraged. It is the intent of the FRN leadership to fund the COE’s that
most directly meet the evaluation criteria. The FRN leadership team will evaluate
each white paper against the following evaluation criteria:
 Identified cost sharing by COE team members to stand up and operate the COE.
 Administrative/Management cost allocations are not to exceed 10% of project
cost. F/A is not to exceed 20% of project cost. COEs that have lower F/A rates
can reflect that as cost share

Not all COEs will necessarily get the same level of
funding in year one and year two. Funding will be based
on the merit of the proposal – the linkage to AFRL, NASIC
and GRC requirements – and the ability to create some
jobs in the not too distant future – emphasis on some
jobs – not hundreds or thousands

term results – a satisfied and energized set of government customers
– some key industry partners (large and preferably small and mid
sized), and we need some state organizations as champions
