Criteria for selecting proposals...
TAAC funding priority is given to existing TAACs which have successfully carried out previous cooperative agreements. Industries must have a substantial number of TAA certified firms and have developed a proposal providing meaningful near-term benefit to their industry to receive assistance. EDA will invest in applicants who are entrepreneurial in spirit and in action. Potential investments will be analyzed using the following seven supplemental evaluation criteria of approximately equal weight: extent that proposed investments are market-based; extent that proposed investments are pro-active in nature and scope; extent that proposed investments look beyond the immediate economic horizon, anticipate economic changes, and diversify the local and regional economy; likelihood that proposed investments maximize the attraction of private sector investments and would not otherwise come to fruition absent EDA's investment; likelihood that proposed investments have a high probability of success; likelihood that proposed investments result in an environment where high skill, high wage jobs are created; and likelihood the proposed investments maximize Return on Taxpayer Investment.
