Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 NGA University Research Initiatives (NURI) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is a Fiscal Year 2009 discretionary grant competition run by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to fund university-led research in geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) analysis and related technologies. The core purpose is to advance methods and tools that improve human analyst performance and also strengthen automated capabilities used in the analyst environment. NURI awards are positioned as multi-year research grants intended to address NGA mission needs, and the program operates as part of the larger NGA Academic Research Program (NARP). The activity area is Science and Technology and other Research and Development under CFDA 12.630 (Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering), and the funding instrument is a grant with no cost sharing or matching requirement.
This specific posting was reopened because of a legal development that affected a separate NGA grant track. A judicial decision tied to Title 10 U.S.C. 2323 (Rothe Development Corp. v. U.S. Dept. of Defense, et al., decided February 29, 2009) led NGA to cancel the 2009 Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions Educational Research Initiative (HBCU/MI ERI) BAA (HM1582 09 BAA 0002). In response, NGA reopened the 2009 NURI BAA to give institutions that had competed under the cancelled HBCU/MI ERI opportunity a pathway to resubmit their applications under the standard 2009 NURI guidelines. The announcement notes that revisions to the NURI BAA were highlighted (in the original document) using blue text and sidebars, with changes limited to specific sections: the Header, Overview, and sections 3.2, 4.1, 4.2.1, 4.5, 4.6, and 7.1.
Administratively, NGA made it clear that proposals already submitted to the earlier 2009 NURI BAA and successfully acknowledged as accepted by Grants.gov would be retained and evaluated alongside any new proposals submitted during the reopened window. To reduce duplication and confusion, applicants were encouraged not to resubmit proposals that had already been accepted through Grants.gov for the prior NURI submission (referenced as HM1582 09 BAA 0003). However, if an applicant believed their earlier submission needed improvement and wanted to submit a revised version, they were instructed to clearly label it as a resubmission so NGA could delete the previous version and evaluate only the updated application. In other words, resubmission was optional and only recommended if changes were necessary; accepted prior submissions did not need to be re-filed.
From a funding and competitiveness standpoint, the opportunity anticipated up to 9 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $6,750,000. The award floor was listed as $300,000, and the award ceiling was shown as $6,750,000. Eligible applicants were limited to institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted February 6, 2009, created March 31, 2009, and originally closed March 19, 2009, then reopened on March 31, 2009 with a revised closing date of April 30, 2009 (and an archive date of May 30, 2009). The funding opportunity number is HM1582 09 BAA A103, and the title is "2009 NGA University Research Initiatives (NURI) BAA."
