About this file

This document contains a checklist for proposers responding to the Lasers for Universal Microscale Optical Systems (LUMOS) solicitation from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The checklist outlines 16 questions for proposers to address in their cost proposals, such as including a summary cost buildup by phase and year, a detailed cost buildup for each phase breaking out tasks and monthly costs, direct labor details, indirect cost rates, materials and equipment lists with quotes, subcontractor details, and documentation of accounting systems. Proposers must also address organizational conflicts of interest, data rights, and whether they qualify as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center. Responses to the checklist are to be included with the cost proposal cover sheet for the LUMOS solicitation seeking innovative research on heterogeneous photonic integrated circuits with on-chip optical gain.
