Opportunity Summary:
The Acquisition Research Program is a discretionary Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command to fund research that can improve how the Department of Defense buys, manages, and oversees products and services. Its main goal is to bring in high-quality researchers and scholars to study practical, policy-relevant questions that matter to the defense acquisition community, with work planned for Fiscal Year 2010 (October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010). Awards may be made as either grants or cooperative agreements, and the program sits under CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, with no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The scope is intentionally broad. "Defense acquisition management and policy research" is defined to include work in any discipline that directly relates to defense acquisition or could be applied to make acquisition outcomes better. Alongside traditional acquisition fields such as contracting, program and project management, logistics, and systems engineering management, the announcement explicitly welcomes research from economics, finance, financial management, information systems, organization theory, operations management, human resources management, marketing, and other relevant domains. The list is meant as guidance rather than a hard boundary, signaling that interdisciplinary or unconventional approaches are acceptable as long as they connect clearly to defense acquisition improvement.
Eligibility is aimed particularly at U.S. universities and other research institutions outside the Department of Defense, although the official eligibility category is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted May 3, 2009, with an original and final closing date of June 30, 2009, and it was later archived July 30, 2009. The funding opportunity number is NPSBAA09002.
Award recipients are expected to show steady progress and share results in structured ways. For grant recipients, quarterly progress reports are required as evidence of progress. At the end of the period of performance, recipients must submit a completed technical report (Word or PDF) to the program's Technical Point of Contact within 30 days, following preparation instructions provided through acquisitionresearch.net. In addition to written deliverables, recipients must present their findings at the Naval Postgraduate School Annual Acquisition Research Symposium in Monterey, California, held each May. FY 2010 awardees can choose to present at either the May 2010 or May 2011 symposium depending on how quickly the research matures; if presenting in 2011, the period of performance is expected to extend beyond 12 months to cover through May 2011.
For applicants who cannot access the full announcement online, the notice directs them to contact the contracting and grant officer listed, Janet Norton, as the business point of contact.
