Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), Funding Opportunity Number W912HZ-13-BAA-01, is a standing U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) solicitation for research and development efforts across a wide range of engineering, environmental, and technology disciplines. ERDC is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers organization that conducts R&D to support military and civil works missions, and this BAA is designed to let ERDC receive and evaluate proposals tied to its published topic areas on an ongoing basis rather than through a single one-time competition.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and supports research and development under CFDA 12.630, titled "Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering." ERDC indicates multiple potential award instruments may be used depending on the nature of the work and relationship, including grants, cooperative agreements, procurement contracts, and similar mechanisms. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, and eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is generally open to any type of applicant (such as universities, nonprofits, companies, and other organizations), subject to any specific eligibility language that may appear within the full announcement or individual topic descriptions.
ERDC emphasizes that the BAA spans the technical scope of its major laboratories and centers. These include the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL), Environmental Laboratory (EL), and Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) located in Vicksburg, Mississippi; the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire; the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) in Champaign, Illinois; and the Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) in Alexandria, Virginia. Each of these organizations contributes topic areas aligned to its mission space, and prospective proposers are expected to connect their proposed work to those topic descriptions and to the relevant technical points of contact listed in the BAA.
The research areas ERDC identifies are broad and interdisciplinary, covering hydraulics, dredging, coastal engineering, instrumentation, oceanography, and remote sensing; geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, soil effects, and vehicle mobility; munitions-related engineering and military engineering; geophysics, pavements, and protective structures; aquatic plants, water quality, wetlands, and management or beneficial use of dredged material; treatment of hazardous waste and environmental remediation; cold regions science such as the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of snow and other frozen precipitation; as well as installation and infrastructure challenges including energy, facilities maintenance, materials and structures, telecommunications management, and computer science. The announcement also highlights natural and cultural resource topics such as land and heritage conservation and ecological processes, reflecting ERDCs role in both operational support and stewardship-related research.
Operationally, this BAA functions like an open call that remains available until it is superseded. While the listing shows an original and current closing date of January 31, 2014 (with an archive date of March 2, 2014), the text of the announcement explains that proposals may be accepted at any time during the period it is active. The full BAA is posted through ERDC at http://erdc.usace.army.mil/, and applicants are encouraged to coordinate early with the appropriate ERDC lab contacts to confirm topic fit, submission expectations, and any lab-specific handling.
For proposal and administrative questions tied to CHL, EL, GSL, TEC, and ITL, the listed point of contact is Allison Hudson at 601-634-5233 or Allison.B.Hudson@usace.army.mil. For CERL-related proposal questions, contacts are Jim Dowling at 217-373-4479 or james.p.dowling@usace.army.mil, and Andrea Krouse at 217-373-6746 or andrea.j.krouse@usace.army.mil. For CRREL-related proposal questions, the contact is Wendy Adams at 603-646-4323 or Wendy.A.Adams@usace.army.mil. Technical questions about specific research topics are directed to the technical personnel identified at the end of each topic area within the BAA itself.
