Attach with &quot;Other Attachment Forms&quot; when submitting via www.grants.gov.Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs): FRDCs  are operated, managed, and/or administered by a university or  consortium of universities, other not-for-profit or nonprofit    organization, or an industrial firm, as an autonomous organization or as an identifiable separate operating unit of a parent organization.  A FFRDC meets some special long-term research or development need which cannot be met as effectively by an agency&apos;s existing in-house or contractor resources. FFRDC&apos;s enable agencies to use private sector resources to accomplish tasks that are integral to the mission and operation of the sponsoring agency.
