Sea Based Aviation National Naval Responsibility (SBA NNR) Structures and Materials Focus Area | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Sea Based Aviation National Naval Responsibility (SBA NNR) Structures and Materials Focus Area is a U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) funding opportunity aimed at advancing science and technology research relevant to naval sea-based aviation, specifically within the structures and materials domain. It is not a standalone program in the usual sense; instead, it is a targeted research focus area being competed under ONRBAA14-001, the Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology. The stated intent of the notice is to draw the research community's attention to the technical areas ONR wants explored and to lay out the schedule for the initial white paper submissions, which typically serve as a first-step screening mechanism before full proposals.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and allows awards via grants and, where appropriate, procurement contracts. It falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which generally means proposers are not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award, though standard BAA terms and any specific program guidance in ONRBAA14-001 would still apply. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many entity types (such as universities, nonprofits, small businesses, large businesses, and potentially other organizations), subject to the eligibility details and any constraints described in the parent BAA (ONRBAA14-001).

The timeline in the notice emphasizes an initial round of white paper submissions (with details governed by ONRBAA14-001) and sets expectations for when complete proposals should be received. The posting date and creation date are both September 24, 2013, and the full proposal deadline referenced in the notice is February 28, 2014, with an important caveat: proposals submitted after that date may still be considered, but only if agency time permits and if funding remains available. The archive date is March 30, 2014, indicating that the listing was later closed out in the grants portal context, even though BAAs sometimes remain open over longer periods depending on the parent announcement.

For applicants, the practical takeaway is that participation would have required following the instructions, formats, and submission pathways defined in ONRBAA14-001, rather than relying only on the short focus-area notice. The focus-area announcement functions as a signpost: it tells researchers that ONR is particularly interested in structures and materials topics tied to sea-based aviation needs and that they should align their ideas accordingly, beginning with a white paper and then moving to a full proposal by the stated target date. Those needing the complete announcement were directed to the ONR BAA website via the additional information link, and a named contact was provided for access issues: Stacey Crawford, Contract Specialist, at 703-696-0590, along with general Grants.gov support channels for submission-related questions.
