Army Research Office Broad Agency Announcement for Basic and Applied Scientific Research | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Army Research Office (ARO) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Basic and Applied Scientific Research is a standing research solicitation issued by the Department of the Army, Materiel Command, to invite proposals that advance Army-relevant science and technology. In practical terms, it is a mechanism the Army uses to consider and fund early-stage and applied research ideas that could eventually improve future capabilities, knowledge, and technical options for the Army. The announcement emphasizes research across four large domains: engineering sciences, physical sciences, life sciences, and information sciences. It is presented as an extract of the ARO-specific portions of the larger Army Research Laboratory (ARL) BAA, meaning applicants are being directed to the ARO-relevant requirements and topics contained within the broader ARL solicitation framework.

This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number W911NF 12 R 0012, and the title is "Army Research Office Broad Agency Announcement for Basic and Applied Scientific Research." It falls under the discretionary funding category and supports multiple types of funding instruments, including grants, cooperative agreements, other arrangements, and potentially procurement contracts depending on the nature of the work and the government’s needs. The activity category is science and technology and other research and development, and it is associated with CFDA number 12.431, which corresponds to basic scientific research. The listing indicates an expected volume of awards (approximately 1000), reflecting that the BAA functions as a broad, ongoing pipeline for numerous research efforts rather than a single, narrowly targeted competition.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to a wide range of applicant organizations, with the important caveat that any specific limitations or clarifications would appear in the full text under the section typically labeled "Additional Information on Eligibility." The opportunity explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means proposers are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award, though voluntary cost share is sometimes permitted depending on the terms in the full announcement.

In terms of timing, the opportunity record shows it was posted and created on March 27, 2015, with an original closing date of March 31, 2017 and a current closing date also of March 31, 2017. The archive date is April 30, 2017, indicating the solicitation is no longer active as listed in that specific posting. Applicants seeking details beyond the summary are directed to an additional information link referenced as "ARO CORE BAA W911NF 12 R 0012 Mod 03," which would contain the complete requirements, proposal preparation instructions, evaluation criteria, topic areas, and submission procedures.

For administrative and access issues related to obtaining the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Andrew L. Fiske, Procurement Analyst, Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Research Triangle Park Division. The contact details included are phone (919) 549-4338, fax (919) 549-4388, and email andrew.l.fiske.civ@mail.mil. This contact is specifically positioned as an administrative point of contact for situations where an applicant cannot access the announcement electronically, which suggests proposal submission and full documentation were expected to be handled primarily through electronic systems, with support available if technical access problems arise.
