Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Science, Technology, Engineering" (Funding Opportunity Number W912HZ 14 BAA 1000) was issued by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) as a discretionary federal assistance program focused on science and technology and other research and development activities. The core purpose of the announcement is educational and workforce-oriented: ERDC is seeking proposals that support the Pre Engineering Program (PEP) and advance the broader intent of the National Defense Education Act of 1959 by encouraging and motivating young students to engage with STEM fields, specifically science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at programs, projects, or activities that expose K-12 or pre-college students to engineering and related STEM concepts in a way that increases interest, participation, and preparedness for future study and careers connected to national technical needs.

Awards under this announcement may be made either as grants or cooperative agreements. The inclusion of cooperative agreements signals that ERDC may expect to have substantial involvement in supported projects, such as collaboration on program direction, coordination, or technical input, depending on the specific award and project design. The funding is listed under CFDA number 12.630, "Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering," which places it within the Department of Defense research and engineering assistance ecosystem even though the immediate emphasis here is student stimulation and pre-engineering pipeline development rather than laboratory research alone.

The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which lowers barriers to participation and can be especially important for organizations that want to deliver STEM programming without needing outside match commitments. The award ceiling is stated as $30,000, indicating that proposed efforts are expected to be relatively small in scale, pilot-like, or modular, such as a focused educational initiative, outreach series, short program, curriculum module development, workshop, camp, competition support, or similar activity designed to have measurable impact on student engagement in STEM.

Eligibility is broad across several organization types. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education under that specific nonprofit category), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This range suggests ERDC was open to partnerships and a variety of delivery models, including community nonprofits that run youth programs, universities with K-12 outreach capacity, and companies that provide educational services or STEM programming resources. The posted and creation date for the opportunity was January 21, 2014. The original and current closing date was January 31, 2015, and the opportunity was later archived on March 2, 2015, meaning it is no longer open but remains a useful reference point for the type of STEM outreach and pre-engineering support ERDC has funded.

For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Derek Howard, Contract Specialist at ERDC, reachable by phone at 601-634-3310 or by email at derek.a.howard@usace.army.mil.
