Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) CRNBAA14 001 was a Department of Defense research funding opportunity issued by NSWC Crane. It was set up to solicit proposals that offer genuinely new ideas, methods, or concepts in a handful of specific science and technology areas the government identified as important. Like many BAAs, the emphasis was on innovation and technical merit rather than buying a predefined product, and the government indicated it could make multiple awards depending on proposal quality and available funding.
The technical topics of interest covered a range of defense-relevant research problems. These included advanced TOF-SIMS (Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) analysis techniques aimed at trace detection of contamination in semiconductor fabrication processes, which ties to microelectronics reliability and supply-chain trust. Another topic focused on "black box" hardware state machine characterization, described as an undecidable problem, pointing to difficult challenges in understanding or verifying complex hardware behavior when full internal design details are not available. The BAA also sought concepts "towards more secure transportable media solutions," suggesting research into better security for removable or portable storage and the risks of data transfer across systems. Two additional areas pushed into more specialized science: exploring defense-related implications if nuclear decay parameters vary over time (a research question with potentially significant implications if supported by evidence), and studying radiation effects in memristive structures, which relates to emerging memory or neuromorphic device technologies and how they behave in radiation environments relevant to defense and space.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was categorized as discretionary and used the grant instrument, with an activity category of science and technology and other research and development. The listing referenced CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The announcement anticipated about five awards, with an estimated total funding level of $200,000. Individual awards had a stated ceiling of $40,000 and a floor of $0, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to various entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key dates and submission details were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on April 22, 2014, and proposals had to be submitted through Grants.gov by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, May 22, 2014. The archive date was June 21, 2014, indicating when the listing was slated to be removed from active posting. The announcement noted that the full BAA document contained the detailed instructions for how to prepare and submit proposals, along with any additional requirements.
