- All responsible sources from academia and industry may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are BAA Number 11 006 Page 9 encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation. Federally Funded research Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal bidders are allowed so long as they are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC. Navy laboratories and warfare centers as well as other Department of Defense and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this BAA and should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in one or more of the programs described herein, the organization should contact an appropriate ONR POC to discuss its area of interest. The various scientific divisions of ONR are identified at http://www.onr.navy.mil/. As with FFRDCs, these types of federal organizations may team with other responsible sources from academia and industry that are submitting proposals under this BAA. Teams are also encouraged and may submit proposals in any and all areas. However, Offerors must be willing to cooperate and exchange software, data and other information in an integrated program with other contractors, as well as with system integrators, selected by ONR. Some topics cover export controlled technologies. Research in these areas is limited to U.S. persons as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) 22 CFR 1201.1 et seq. (See Section VII, Other Information)

Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Naval Research (ONR), through its 312 Electronic Warfare division (312EW), issued this funding opportunity to support science and technology research and development that advances electronic warfare toward next generation components and complete systems. The core aim is not just early-stage research, but development and demonstration of technologies that can enable improved electronic warfare capabilities, suggesting an emphasis on practical, testable outcomes and measurable performance gains. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, and is positioned as discretionary funding for R and D work aligned with Navy needs.
This announcement is identified as Funding Opportunity Number ONRBAA11-006, titled "Electronic Warfare Technology." The posted and creation date were December 15, 2010, with a closing date of May 3, 2011, and an archive date of June 2, 2011. ONR indicated it could make awards using multiple instruments, including grants, other transactions, and procurement contracts, which typically means ONR may choose the award type based on the maturity of the effort, the nature of deliverables, and how closely the work aligns with acquisition-focused outcomes.
Eligibility is broadly open to responsible sources in academia and industry, with ONR specifically encouraging proposals from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs), while also making clear that no funds are set aside exclusively for those institutions. At the same time, several categories of federal organizations are restricted from applying directly: Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy national laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA, and Navy laboratories, warfare centers, and other DoD or civilian agency labs also may not submit white papers or full proposals directly. However, ONR allows teaming arrangements where those ineligible federal organizations can participate as partners or collaborators with an eligible prime proposer, provided the arrangement is permitted under the relevant sponsoring agreements (in the case of FFRDCs) and coordinated appropriately with ONR points of contact (in the case of government labs). ONR also encourages teams and collaboration across areas, with the explicit expectation that offerors will cooperate within an integrated program environment and be willing to exchange software, data, and other information with other contractors and ONR-selected system integrators.
The announcement also flags that some topics may involve export-controlled technologies. For those areas, participation is limited to U.S. persons as defined under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) at 22 CFR 120.1 et seq., meaning proposers should be prepared for compliance requirements related to personnel, information handling, and data sharing. Notably, the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers barriers for academic labs and smaller firms and can make it easier to propose early demonstrations without additional non-federal financing.
For administrative and access issues, the listed contracting contact is Lynn Christian, Senior Contract Officer, reachable at 703-588-2432, and general Grants.gov questions are referenced as well. An additional information link points to the broader set of ONR BAAs, implying that proposers were expected to consult the full BAA text for detailed topic areas, submission instructions (such as white paper versus full proposal expectations), evaluation criteria, and any specific security or data rights provisions tied to electronic warfare work.
