ever, no individual may be discriminated
against on the grounds of race, color, sex,
national origin, age or handicap in the selec-
tion for, participation in, or otherwise in the
administration of a PREP project.
Eligible Organizations
Proposals will be accepted only from U.S.
colleges and universities which grant engineer-
ing degrees at the baccalaureate level or from
institutions which have formal dual-degree
pre-engineering programs with institutions
granting engineering degrees at the baccalau-
reate level. (If applying under the latter cate-
gory, specific information should be given
regarding the formal dual-degree program.)
Other institutions interested in participating
in PREP may do so through cooperative
projects with engineering degrce-granting
institutions (in this case, the proposal must be
submitted by the engineering degree-granting
institution).
Limitations on Proposals
Because of the limited funds available, a
given proposal may request a maximum of
$20,000 in DOE funds and a given institution
may submit, or be involved in, only one pro-
posal. (An average award of about $14,000 is
expected.)
Notification of Award
Notification of award will be made on or
about March 1, 1981.
II. PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF
PROPOSALS
Proposals should be prepared by the in-
dividual who will be primarily responsible for
the activity for which support is requested.
The project director should be closely in-
volved with the academic components of the
project and will usually be closely associated
with (pre-) engineering programs at the insti-
tution. The proposal must be certified by
the President of the institution or his dele-
gated officer, and is to be submitted by
the institution. The entire proposal should
be on 8/ X 11 inch paper, DOUBLE
SPACED, with 'a maximum of 10 pages, ex-
clusive of the Cover Sheet, Abstract, Budget
and Budget Explanation, and Appendix (fac-
ulty data). Twelve (12) copies of the proposal
should be submitted by October 17, 1980.
Copy No. 1 of the proposal shall contain the
signed original of all documents requiring
signature by the offeror. Use of reproduc-
tions of signed originals is authorized in all
other copies of the proposal. Proposal pack-
ages shall be marked as set forth below:(NOTICE TO DOE MAIL ROOM: This is a
proposal under Notice of Program Interest
No. OCA-81-NPI-001 due 4:30 P.M., October
17, 1980. Date and time of receipt to be log-
ged and also marked on this package.)

As mentioned earlier in these guidelines,
commitments from local industry and the
college or university itself are desirable in con-
junction with DOE PREP support. In this re-
gard, the narrative and budget portions of the
proposal should address the entire project,
clearly identifying that portion funded by
DOE.
A proposal for participation in the 1981
program should be prepared in five parts:
Cover Sheet, Abstract, Budget and Budget Ex-
planation, Narrative and Appendix.
1. Cover Sheet: The format for the Cover
Sheet is shown in the sample included with
these instructions, and one copy must bear
the original signature of the Project Director
and the certifying institutional official. The
number of students to participate in the
program should be realistically estimated
based on the project described in the pro-
posal. This number should include only those
students to be involved during the DOE fund-
ing period of the project. The non-DOE con-
tributions to the project should be calculated
on this basis also.
2. Abstract: This should be a concise de-
scription of the project, not more than one
double spaced, typewritten page in length.
3. Budget and Budget Explanation: -The
costs of the project are to be summarized as
shown on the sample Budget Page included
with these instructions.. Some items, such as
a. (2) below may be appropriately shown as
non-DOE' support although they are not eli-
gible for DOE support. Two categories of
support (participant support and operating
costs) may be included in the combined
DOE-non-DOE budget.2
