Opportunity Summary:
The HBCU/MI ERI grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM1582 09 BAA 0002) is a Fiscal Year 2009 Broad Agency Announcement released by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). It is a discretionary, competitive grant program under the NGA Academic Research Program (NARP) designed to strengthen the research and education capacity of U.S. universities that serve historically underrepresented communities. The core purpose is to expand and enhance university capabilities in science and engineering fields that directly support NGA's mission areas and broader national defense needs, with an emphasis on building lasting institutional expertise rather than funding isolated short-term efforts.
Eligibility is limited to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs). In this announcement, "Minority Institutions" is explicitly broad and includes Tribal Colleges (TCs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and other qualifying minority-serving institutions. Both private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education may apply, as long as they meet the HBCU/MI eligibility requirements stated in the notice. The program is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA number 12.630, which covers basic, applied, and advanced research in science and engineering.
NGA anticipated making about four awards under this competition, with an estimated total program funding level of $560,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $140,000 (floor) up to $560,000 (ceiling), and the announcement indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute institutional funds as a condition of award. Because the ceiling equals the total estimated funding, the structure suggests NGA could fund one large project or several smaller ones, though the "ExpectedAwards: 4" field signals an intent to distribute funding across multiple institutions.
Key dates for the opportunity reflect its FY2009 cycle. The announcement was posted on January 16, 2009, with an application deadline of March 2, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on April 1, 2009, indicating the solicitation period has closed and the notice is provided for historical reference rather than active submission.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Andrew Karl, Grants Officer at NGA, reachable by phone at 703-264-2175 or by email at Andrew.J.Karl@nga.mil.
