Opportunity Summary:
The Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Applied Research and Advanced Technology Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ONRBAA08-012) is a 2008 Office of Naval Research (ONR) solicitation intended to stimulate new science and technology advances that could mature into future Marine Corps operational capabilities. The emphasis is on going beyond what existing acquisition programs and currently defined requirements cover, with the expectation that funded work will strengthen the technical foundation that enables future expeditionary warfare and combating-terrorism capabilities. In practical terms, this is aimed at exploratory and developmental efforts that can open up new approaches, concepts, and enabling technologies rather than simply refining systems already on a defined procurement path.
Because expeditionary maneuver warfare spans many mission needs, the solicitation makes clear that the supported research and advanced technology development portfolio is highly diverse. To manage that breadth, ONR organizes the work into six "Thrust Areas," each aligned to an operational function considered critical to expeditionary warfare. The announcement points applicants to publicly available summaries of ongoing efforts within those thrust areas on the ONR website (http://www.onr.navy.mil/scitech/30/), signaling that prospective proposals should align with these mission-relevant thrust categories and build on or complement existing lines of effort. It also references Marine Corps future warfighting concept documents such as MC Strategy 21, Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare, the Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Capability List, the Science and Technology Strategic Plan, and Distributed Operations (hosted at https://www.mccdc.usmc.mil/), which function as guiding context for where the Marine Corps expects future operational problems and capability gaps to emerge.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The solicitation allows multiple funding instruments, including cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, and potentially other award types depending on the nature of the work and ONR's determination of the appropriate mechanism. No cost sharing or matching is required, which lowers the barrier for participation and indicates that proposals can be evaluated primarily on technical merit, relevance, and deliverability rather than the applicant's ability to contribute additional funds.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity (for example, universities, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and potentially other performers), subject to any clarifications contained in the full text of the announcement. The posted timeline shows a Posted Date of March 14, 2008, an Original Closing Date of May 22, 2008, a Current Closing Date of June 5, 2008, and an Archive Date of June 21, 2008, indicating that the opportunity is historical and was open for a defined window in 2008. For applicants who had difficulty accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Pleshette Brown, Contract Specialist (Business POC).
