20.620—Cooperative agreement.
Cooperative agreement means an award
of financial assistance that, consistent with 31
U.S.C. 6305, is used to enter into the same kind
of relationship as a grant (see definition of
grant in § 20.650 ), except that substantial
involvement is expected between the Federal agency
and the recipient when carrying out the activity
contemplated by the award. The
term does not include cooperative research and
development agreements as defined in 15 U.S.C.
