Abstract: The Service issues financial assistance through grants and cooperative agreement awards to commercial organizations, foreign entities, Indian tribal governments, individuals, institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations, and state and local governments under the bureau's Assistance Listing (CFDA) programs. The types of assistance provided under Service financial assistance programs include: • Mandatory Formula Grants • Discretionary Project Grants • Discretionary Cooperative Agreements • Use of Property, Facilities, and Equipment Authorities and implementing regulations establish financial assistance program purposes and may specify funding instrument(s), selection criteria, and eligible and ineligible recipients and activities. For competitive programs, the authorities or implementing regulations may establish preferences or ranking factors for the selection of projects. These legal requirements make it essential for an awarding agency to have certain information so that it funds only eligible projects, and, in the case of competitive programs, to select those projects that will result in the greatest return on the Federal investment.
