R7 - Go/NoGo Criteria Fed Alignment - demonstrated relationship with the Fed Sponsor and Project Lead, as result of documented development meetings or previous relevant working engagement. Do we need to attach communication w Fed Collaborator as record

You do not need to attach the communications with Federal Collorbator as the record.  Providing their name, title, department, agency, phone and email on the cover page of the proposal (item #3 Government POC) is sufficient. In Appendix 3A Technical Proposal Template, sections A.5 (Identification and significance of the Problem or Opportunity) and A.8 (Federal Partner Applications) you have the opportunity to provide information about the Federal Partner contact and identified needs as appropriate for the section.
