Compostition of the ITA-MDCP Project Team
Each funded MDCP project has a team of ITA staff assigned to help a cooperator accomplish its project goals. This team may include federal staff outside of ITA as well. Whether or not this team includes federal staff outside of ITA, it is called simply the ITA-MDCP project team. ITA and other federal staff pay their own costs for participating in project activity. Such funds can come from any of the federal entities with members on the team. Or, support can come from ITA "administrative funds" managed by ITA's Industry & Analysis unit. The table below indicates various federal entities and the likelihood that each will be actively involved on an ITA-MDCP project team.
