This rule establishes the USTAR Energy Research Triangle Professors grant program, which is a collaborative effort between USTAR and the Utah Governor's Office of Energy Development (GOED) and will be administered according to this rule. Grants provide funding for projects in which research teams from at least three Utah non-profit higher education institutions collaborate to address energy-related technical challenges important to economic growth in the state of Utah. Anticipated duration of projects will be 12 to 18 months. Funding must be budgeted by state fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) and funding will be dependent on meeting milestones and continued USTAR/GOED appropriation. The change is to: 1) clarify the language in the administrative rules for the grant; 2) update terms and conditions for entities eligible to apply for the grant, criteria for evaluating and awarding grant funding, and contracting and reporting requirements of grant recipients; and 3) to make USTAR administrative rule language similar across grant programs.
