Opportunity Summary:
The Sea Based Aviation National Naval Responsibility (SBA NNR) Structures and Materials Focus Area opportunity is a research funding notice from the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) that sits under a larger umbrella solicitation, ONR BAA 13-001, the Long Range Broad Agency Announcement for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology. In practical terms, this particular notice is meant to steer attention toward a specific ONR interest area within sea-based aviation research, concentrating on structures and materials topics that support Navy and Marine Corps aviation needs. It is framed as a science and technology research and development opportunity, aligned with basic and applied research goals rather than a narrowly defined product procurement.
A key purpose of the announcement is informational and organizational: it highlights the technical areas ONR intends to study within the SBA NNR Structures and Materials focus area and communicates the planned schedule for the initial round of white paper submissions. White papers are commonly used in ONR BAAs as a first-step screening mechanism, allowing researchers to outline their technical approach, novelty, relevance to Navy needs, and rough cost/schedule before being invited (if appropriate) to submit a full proposal. This synopsis emphasizes that prospective applicants should consult the complete announcement for the detailed technical scope, formatting and submission rules, evaluation criteria, and the specific white paper timetable.
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number 12-SN-0026, titled "Sea Based Aviation National Naval Responsibility (SBA NNR) Structures and Materials Focus Area." It is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity and indicates multiple possible award/relationship mechanisms, including grants and procurement contracts, which is typical of ONR BAAs where the instrument can depend on the nature of the work and the proposing organization. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the synopsis, meaning applicants generally are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, unless the full announcement specifies an exception for a particular topic.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional limits or clarifications contained in the full text of the announcement. In similar ONR BAAs, this typically means universities, nonprofit research organizations, commercial firms (including small businesses), federally funded research and development centers where applicable, and sometimes individuals can be eligible, but the definitive eligibility rules would be in the full announcement and the overarching BAA guidance.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on September 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 28, 2013, and an archive date of March 30, 2013. Those dates indicate the window during which submissions (often at least white papers, and sometimes full proposals depending on the BAA process) were accepted for that round. The synopsis also notes that the full announcement is accessible on Grants.gov by opening the synopsis page and selecting the "FULL ANNOUNCEMENT" link or box at the top of the page, which is where applicants would find the authoritative requirements, the detailed research focus descriptions under structures and materials, and the instructions for submitting white papers and any subsequent proposals.
For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Stacey Crawford, Contract Specialist, with a phone number of 703-696-0590, along with a note directing general platform-related issues to Grants.gov support. The synopsis also references an additional information link to ONR BAAs, signaling that this focus area announcement should be read in conjunction with ONR's broader BAA policies and instructions, since the SBA NNR Structures and Materials topic is being launched under the ONR BAA 13-001 framework.
