CRNBAA14 002 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity CRNBAA14 002 is a FY 2014 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) released by the U.S. Department of Defense, specifically through NSWC Crane. It is set up to solicit research and development proposals that offer new, non-routine ideas and technical approaches rather than incremental improvements. In practical terms, this BAA is looking for novel solutions and concepts that align with a defined set of defense-related science and technology interest areas, with the understanding that the government can fund more than one project if multiple proposals are strong and funds are available.

The announcement identifies five technical focus areas where proposals are invited. The first is a Next Generation Technology Transfer System, which broadly points to improving how innovations move from research into usable capability, potentially including processes, tools, platforms, or frameworks that speed up adoption and transition. The second area is Advanced Ultra Short Pulsed Laser Sources Concepts, which indicates interest in cutting-edge laser systems capable of extremely short pulse durations and the enabling concepts that would make such sources more capable, stable, efficient, or usable for defense applications. The third area is Pulsed Neutron Effects Research, which typically involves studying how pulsed neutron environments affect materials, electronics, systems, or operational performance, with the aim of understanding, modeling, mitigating, or leveraging those effects. The fourth area focuses on Intelligent Computing Algorithms and Applications to Electronic Maneuver Warfare, signaling interest in advanced algorithms, likely including machine learning or adaptive computing techniques, applied to electronic warfare problems such as sensing, decision-making, signal classification, spectrum use, or dynamic response in contested environments. The fifth area is Beam Stacking in Electron Synchrotrons, which is a specialized accelerator physics topic aimed at increasing beam intensity or improving beam handling through stacking techniques, potentially relevant to advanced research facilities or unique defense technology needs.

From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument. The activity category is science and technology and other research and development, and it is associated with CFDA number 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different types of organizations and entities, subject to any additional clarifications that may have been included in the full BAA text. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a specified portion of project costs as a condition of receiving the award.

In terms of expected funding and award structure, the government anticipated making about five awards. The estimated total funding amount for the BAA is listed as $200,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and an award floor of $0. The note about the actual resources depending on proposal quality and funding availability is important, because it signals that these figures are planning estimates rather than guarantees; the government may fund fewer or more projects, or adjust award amounts, based on what is submitted and what money is ultimately available.

The timeline and submission requirements are clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on May 15, 2014, with the proposal deadline set for 3:00 PM Eastern Time on Monday, June 16, 2014. Submissions were required to be made through Grants.gov, which typically implies compliance with standard federal electronic submission procedures and formatting rules described in the full announcement. The opportunity’s archive date is July 16, 2014, indicating when it was expected to be moved out of active listing status after the closing period.

For support, the listed point of contact is Brittany Lyons, Contract Specialist at NSWC Crane. Applicants having trouble accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact her by phone at 812-854-3421 or by email at brittany.s.lyons@navy.mil.
