Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "2013 Science, TEchnology, Engineering" (Funding Opportunity Number W912HZ 13 BAA 1000) was a discretionary U.S. Army solicitation issued by the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). It supported science and technology-focused activities and other research and development efforts under CFDA 12.630, which covers basic, applied, and advanced research in science and engineering. The program authority cited in the announcement was the National Defense Education Act of 1959, and the effort was tied to the Army's Pre-Engineering Program (PEP). In practical terms, the goal was educational and workforce-oriented: ERDC was looking for proposals that would encourage and stimulate interest in STEM among young students, helping build early exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields that are relevant to national defense and engineering missions.

Funding was available through grants and cooperative agreements, meaning projects could be structured either as more traditional grant-funded efforts or as cooperative arrangements where the government may have more substantial involvement during performance. The announcement did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants and can make participation more feasible for organizations that do not have large discretionary budgets.

The eligible applicant pool was broad and included both educational and non-educational entities. Eligible organizations included private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (that are not institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This range suggests ERDC was open to a variety of delivery models for STEM stimulation activities, such as university-led outreach programs, nonprofit-run student enrichment initiatives, or industry-supported education and mentoring efforts, as long as the proposed work aligned with the intent of the Pre-Engineering Program and the statutory authority cited.

The opportunity was posted and created on January 4, 2013. The original and current closing date was January 31, 2014, and the announcement was later archived on March 2, 2014. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Allison Hudson, Contract Specialist at ERDC, reachable by phone at 601-634-5233 or by email at allison.b.hudson@usace.army.mil.
