Research and Analytical Support for the 711th HPW Human Effectiveness Directorate | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The government grant opportunity titled "Research and Analytical Support for the 711th HPW Human Effectiveness Directorate" (Funding Opportunity Number BAA 09 03 RH) was issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800). It falls within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area and was structured to allow multiple possible funding and award mechanisms, including cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, and other arrangements depending on the nature of the proposed work and the governments needs.

The core purpose of the opportunity was to secure ongoing technical and analytical support for research conducted by the 711th Human Performance Wing (711th HPW), specifically within its Human Effectiveness Directorate. The work was intended to support research, analyses, and studies at several key sites associated with the directorate: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, Brooks City-Base in Texas, and the Mesa Research Site. In practical terms, the Air Force was seeking partners who could augment and extend the directorates research capacity by providing people, expertise, and infrastructure that could be applied directly to active and emerging research requirements.

A central theme of the announcement is workforce-based research support. One major avenue of support described is the provision of appropriately trained and experienced personnel, including undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty members, who could participate directly in 711th HPW/RH research efforts. This implies hands-on contributions to data collection, experimental work, modeling, statistical analysis, literature reviews, report writing, and other research tasks, integrated with the directorates projects rather than conducted entirely independently. The opportunity also emphasizes the importance of academic oversight and rigor by calling for faculty supervision of student researchers, particularly for advanced research, analysis, and study activities. In addition, the Air Force highlighted a need to align academic domain expertise with specific directorate research and study requirements, essentially matching specialized faculty capability to designated technical needs as they arise.

Another notable component is subject recruitment support. The announcement explicitly references providing a pool of research subjects for studies, which suggests that applicants who could facilitate access to participant populations, or who could help with compliant human-subject research processes, would be especially valuable. Given the directorates focus on human effectiveness, this likely relates to studies involving human performance, cognition, physiology, training, human factors, or operationally relevant behavioral research, although the text itself frames the need broadly as support for research rather than specifying narrow topic calls.

From an eligibility and participation standpoint, the opportunity was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, reducing financial barriers for prospective applicants and indicating that proposals could be evaluated primarily on technical merit, capability, and alignment with the directorates needs rather than on the ability to provide non-federal funds.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on October 1, 2009, with a listed creation date of October 6, 2011. The original and current closing date were both September 30, 2014, and the archive date was October 15, 2014. This means the opportunity is no longer active, but the summary still reflects how the Air Force sought to structure partnerships during that period to support ongoing human effectiveness research.

For access issues or assistance related to the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Pamela J. Covey, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 937-255-8958.
