ARPA-E may not review or consider incomplete applications and applications received after the deadline stated in the FOA. Such applications may be deemed noncompliant (see Section III.C.1 of the FOA). The following errors could cause an application to be deemed “incomplete” and thus noncompliant:
Failing to comply with the form and content requirements in Section IV of the FOA;
Failing to enter required information in ARPA-E eXCHANGE;
Failing to upload required document(s) to ARPA-E eXCHANGE;
Failing to click the “Submit” button in ARPA-E eXCHANGE by the deadline stated in the FOA;
Uploading the wrong document(s) or application(s) to ARPA-E eXCHANGE; and
Uploading the same document twice, but labeling it as different documents. (In the latter scenario, the Applicant failed to submit a required document.)
