Research Initiatives at The Naval Postgraduate School | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) titled "Research Initiatives at The Naval Postgraduate School" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS BAA 11 001) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered under the Naval Supply Systems Command. It supports science and technology and other research and development efforts, and it is intended to fund a wide range of basic and applied scientific research activities associated with NPS research priorities. The opportunity anticipates making a large number of awards (about 100), which signals that the program is designed to support multiple projects rather than a single large effort, and that it may cover a broad set of technical topics consistent with NPS needs.

This notice specifically reflects Amendment 0002, which was issued to change the proposal response deadline. Under the amendment, the BAA remains open for proposal submissions until 4:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on May 30, 2012. Proposals can be submitted at any point while the announcement is open, meaning it operates on a rolling submission basis up to the final closing date rather than requiring applicants to submit only on one fixed date earlier in the cycle. The original closing date was March 31, 2012, and the amendment extends that to the new current closing date of May 30, 2012. The opportunity was initially posted on March 21, 2011, and the record shows a creation date of April 26, 2012. After the submission window ended, the opportunity was archived on June 29, 2012.

In terms of award mechanisms, NPS indicates it may use either grants or cooperative agreements. That matters because a cooperative agreement is typically used when the government expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaboration, technical direction, or shared resources), while a grant generally involves less federal involvement once the award is made. Applicants should be prepared for either structure depending on the nature of the proposed work and the level of interaction NPS expects for a given project.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means applicants are not required by the announcement itself to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility, although specific projects or budgets could still be evaluated on overall value and reasonableness.

The program is associated with CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which aligns with the stated focus on foundational and applied R&D. For applicants looking for the complete set of topic areas, proposal instructions, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements, the announcement references an "Additional Information Link" described as a link to all NPS BAAs, which is where the full BAA text and any related amendments would normally be maintained.

For questions about Amendment 0002 and the updated response date, the notice directs inquiries to baa@nps.edu. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Janet Norton, Contract and Grant Officer and Business POC, who can assist applicants who have trouble retrieving the announcement electronically.
