ARL/ARO Broad Agency Announcement Revised | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The ARL/ARO Broad Agency Announcement Revised (Funding Opportunity Number W911NF 07 R 0001 05) is a U.S. Department of the Army, Materiel Command funding opportunity issued through the Army Research Office and the Army Research Laboratory. It is designed to support basic and fundamental scientific research that can expand the underlying knowledge base relevant to future Army needs. Rather than focusing on a single narrow topic, it functions as a broad solicitation across many scientific and engineering disciplines, inviting investigators to propose original research ideas that advance the state of the art and could eventually inform new technologies, capabilities, or understanding important to national defense.

The scope of research areas covered is wide and interdisciplinary. The announcement specifically invites proposals in chemistry; electronics; environmental sciences; life sciences; materials science; mathematical and computer sciences; mechanical sciences; physics; computational and information sciences; sensors and electron devices; survivability and lethality analysis; and weapons and materials research. In practice, this kind of broad agency announcement typically accommodates a range of approaches, from theoretical and computational work to laboratory experimentation and early-stage proof-of-concept investigations, as long as the work is positioned as basic scientific research rather than near-term product development. The emphasis is on creating new knowledge, methods, models, and foundational insights that can later translate into applications.

In terms of award mechanisms, the opportunity allows multiple funding instruments, including grants, cooperative agreements, and potentially contracts or other arrangements, depending on the nature of the work and the level of government involvement anticipated. This flexibility is common for Department of Defense research programs, where some projects may be well-suited to a standard grant model while others may require closer collaboration or specific deliverables that fit a different instrument type. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development funding activity category. The associated CFDA number listed is 12.431 (Basic Scientific Research).

The announcement indicates an expected number of awards of about 100, signaling a relatively large program that may fund a broad portfolio of projects rather than only a handful of large efforts. It also states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full text of the announcement. In practical terms, this generally means a wide range of applicants may be able to apply, such as universities, nonprofits, for-profits, and other research organizations, provided they meet any requirements spelled out in the official notice.

Key dates included in the source data show that the opportunity was posted on November 25, 2008, with an original closing date of September 30, 2011, and a then-current closing date of May 15, 2012. The archive date is listed as June 15, 2012, indicating the solicitation was ultimately closed and archived after that point. These dates are important for historical reference and for understanding the lifecycle of the solicitation, especially because broad agency announcements can sometimes be revised, extended, or reissued over time.

For applicants or organizations that need help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kevin Bassler, Procurement Analyst, reachable by phone at 919-549-4295 or by email at kevin.j.bassler.civ@mail.mil. The full announcement link is referenced as the authoritative source for detailed instructions, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and any special eligibility or compliance conditions that would govern proposal preparation and review.
