IC CAE Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The IC CAE Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM1582 09 BAA 0004) was a Fiscal Year 2009 competition announced through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) on behalf of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). It falls under a discretionary grant mechanism focused on science and technology and other research and development activities, and it is associated with CFDA 12.630, which covers basic, applied, and advanced research in science and engineering.

The main purpose of the program was to strengthen the research capacity of U.S. Intelligence Community Centers of Academic Excellence (IC CAE) schools. The intent was to build and deepen expertise that directly supports Intelligence Community mission needs, with emphasis on cultural knowledge; diverse regional and geographic understanding; foreign language proficiency; and science, technology, and engineering disciplines considered critical to national intelligence work. In practical terms, the program aimed to help participating universities and colleges expand their ability to conduct research that produces relevant insights, methods, and talent pipelines aligned with intelligence priorities.

Awards were generally structured as two-year projects funded incrementally, meaning funding would be provided in stages rather than as a single upfront amount. In addition to the initial period, the government anticipated the possibility of up to three additional one-year option periods. Those options would depend on whether the research topic remained relevant and whether the recipient demonstrated solid progress and continued participation in program activities. The announcement also made clear that only grants (not contracts or cooperative agreements) would be made under this BAA, which signals a traditional assistance relationship where the recipient leads the work within the approved scope.

Eligibility was limited to institutions of higher education, including both private universities/colleges and public or state-controlled institutions. The funding range was sizable, with an award floor of $650,000 and an award ceiling of $6,500,000, indicating support for substantial research efforts. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on January 5, 2009, with a closing date of February 23, 2009, and it was later archived on March 25, 2009. For assistance accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Andrew Karl, Grants Officer at NGA (703-264-2175, Andrew.J.Karl@nga.mil).
