NPS BAA-09-002 - BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT
Open until 4:00 pm (PST) 30 June 2009Primary objective is to attract outstanding researchers and scholars to investigate topics of interest to the defense acquisition community. The program solicits innovative proposals for defense acquisition management and policy research to be conducted during fiscal year (FY) 2010 (1 Oct 2009 - 30 Sep 2010).
Defense acquisition management and policy research refers to investigations in all disciplines, fields, and domains that (1) are involved in the acquisition of products and/or services for national defense, or (2) could potentially be brought to bear to improve defense acquisition. It includes but is not limited to economics, finance, financial management, information systems, organization theory, operations management, human resources management, and marketing, as well as the “traditional” acquisition areas such as contracting, program/project management, logistics, and systems engineering management.
This program is targeted in particular to U.S. universities (including U.S. government schools of higher education) or other research institutions outside the Department of Defense.
The Government anticipates making multiple awards up to $120,000 each for a basic research period of twelve months. NPS plans to complete proposal evaluations and notify awardees in September 2009. The actual date of grant award will depend on availability of funds and the capabilities of the grants office. Prior year awards occurred in the November – January timeframe. Awardees may request approval of pre-award costs (up to three months), and they may request adjustments in the grant period of performance.
