Sec.  22.210  Authority for providing assistance.



    (a) Before a grant or cooperative agreement may be used, the grants 

officer must:

    (1) Identify the program statute, the statute that authorizes the 

DoD Component to carry out the activity the principal purpose of which 

is assistance (see 32 CFR 21.410 through 21.420.

    (2) Review the program statute to determine if it contains 

requirements that affect the:

    (i) Solicitation, selection, and award processes. For example, 

program statutes may authorize assistance to be provided only to certain 

types of recipients; may require that recipients meet certain other 

criteria to be eligible to receive assistance; or require that a 

specific process shall be used to review recipients' proposals.

    (ii) Terms and conditions of the award. For example, some program 

statutes require a specific level of cost sharing or matching.

    (b) The grants officer shall ensure that the award of DoD 

appropriations through a grant or cooperative agreement for a research 

project meets the standards of 10 U.S.C. 2358, DoD's broad authority to 

carry out research, even if the research project is authorized under a 

statutory authority other than 10 U.S.C. 2358. The standards of 10 

U.S.C. 2358 are that, in the opinion of the Head of the DoD Component or 

his or her designee, the projects must be:

    (1) Necessary to the responsibilities of the DoD Component.

    (2) Related to weapons systems and other military needs or of 

potential interest to the DoD Component.
