TCF awards require matching funds from either the laboratoryModeling and Simulation for Targeted Electrical(Topic 1 awards) or from industry (Topic 2). In FY 2021 INLResilience and Reliability Improvements, $250,000* directed much of its IDF money to supporting TCF projects, which allowed INL to leverage its funding with matching DOE funds.
