UH2 Cooperative Agreements Exploratory/Developmental Cooperative Agreement Phase I To support the development of new research activities in categorical program areas. (Support generally is restricted in level of support and in time.)
UH3 Cooperative Agreements Exploratory/Developmental Cooperative Agreement Phase II The UH3 award is to provide a second phase for the support for innovative exploratory and development research activities initiated under the UH2 mechanism. Although only UH2 awardees are generally eligible to apply for UH3 support, specific program initiatives may establish eligibility criteria under which applications could be accepted from applicants demonstrating progress equivalent to that expected under UH2.
UH4 Cooperative Agreements Hazmat Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex To develop, implement, and evaluate programs to train workers who are or may be engaged in activities related to hazardous waste removal, containment, or emergency response at the DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex. This is the single project equivalent to the U45
UL1 Cooperative Agreements Linked Specialized Center Cooperative Agreement To support clinical and translational research. The UL1 administratively linked to another project or projects. AUL1 award may only be disaggregated from a U54 application and organizations may not apply for a UL1, Linked Specialized Center Cooperative Agreement. The UL 1 activity code is used in lieu of the U54 for those programs that offer linked awards.
UM1 Cooperative Agreements Research Project with Complex Structure Cooperative Agreement To support cooperative agreements involving large-scale research activities with complicated structures that cannot be appropriately categorized into an available single component activity code, e.g. clinical networks, research programs or consortium. The components represent a variety of supporting functions and are not independent of each component. Substantial federal programmatic staff involvement is intended to assist investigators during performance of the research activities, as defined in the terms and conditions of the award. The performance period may extend up to seven years but only through the established deviation request process. ICs desiring to use this activity code for programs greater than 5 years must receive OPERA prior approval through the deviation request process.
UM2 Cooperative Agreements Program Project or Center with Complex Structure Cooperative Agreement To support cooperative agreements involving program projects or centers with complicated structures that cannot be appropriately categorized into an available multicomponent activity code, e.g. clinical networks, research programs or consortiums.
