Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences- White Paper Request: Identifying Approaches to Monitoring and Measuring Attitude and Behavior Change in Small Units | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), under the Department of Defense - Army Materiel Command (DOD-AMC), is seeking white papers for a research effort titled "Identifying Approaches to Monitoring and Measuring Attitude and Behavior Change in Small Units." This notice is positioned as a sources sought style request focused on gathering ideas and potential technical approaches, rather than requesting full proposals at this stage. The central theme is science and technology research and development aimed at better understanding, tracking, and quantifying how attitudes and behaviors change within small military units, and how those changes can be monitored and measured in practical ways.

The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number W911NF 13 R 0001S and falls under CFDA 12.630. ARI indicates that multiple funding instruments could ultimately be used depending on what comes next, including cooperative agreements, grants, or procurement contracts. In other words, the white paper phase is intended to surface promising concepts, methods, tools, or research designs, with the possibility that selected ideas could later move into a funded effort under one of those mechanisms.

A wide range of applicants are eligible to submit white papers. Eligible organizations include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, and even individuals. That broad eligibility suggests ARI is open to a diverse set of perspectives, from academic behavioral scientists and methodologists to applied research groups, technology developers, and other organizations with relevant expertise in measurement, human behavior, social psychology, organizational behavior, program evaluation, or data-driven monitoring in operational settings.

The notice emphasizes that this announcement is a request for white papers only, and it directs interested parties to consult the "Related Documents" section for the complete sources sought notice and the detailed white paper submission instructions. Those instructions typically define what ARI wants included (for example, a problem framing, proposed approach, innovation, feasibility, potential data sources, transition relevance to Army needs, team qualifications, and rough-order cost or schedule estimates), as well as formatting, page limits, and how and where to submit. Because the public description here is minimal, the related documents are the authoritative source for the exact technical focus areas ARI wants addressed and the specific administrative requirements.

Key dates provided are straightforward. The opportunity was created and posted on February 23, 2016, and the white paper closing date is March 25, 2016. No award ceiling or number of expected awards is specified in the summary data, which is consistent with a white paper request that is primarily collecting concepts rather than committing to immediate funding levels. Overall, this is an early-stage solicitation meant to identify credible, actionable approaches for monitoring and measuring attitude and behavior change in small units, with the longer-term intent of informing or shaping future ARI research investments.
