Special Program Announcement for 2013 Office of Naval Research Hypoxia Monitoring, Alert, and Mitigation System | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Special Program Announcement 13 SN 0003 describes a focused research thrust called the Hypoxia Monitoring, Alert, and Mitigation System (HAMS). The intent is to support science and technology research and development that improves the ability to detect, warn about, and reduce the effects of hypoxia in operational settings relevant to Navy and Marine Corps needs. Hypoxia, broadly, involves inadequate oxygen reaching the body or brain and can degrade cognitive and physical performance, create safety risks, and potentially lead to incapacitation. Under this opportunity, ONR is signaling interest in research that could enable monitoring of hypoxia-related conditions, provide timely alerts, and offer mitigation approaches that help preserve warfighter performance.

Although this is presented as a special program announcement, it is not a standalone application route. Proposers are explicitly instructed not to submit applications under this special notice. Instead, all proposals must be submitted under the ONRBAA13-001 Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology. This HAMS topic is categorized within the Warfighter Performance area, specifically under Code 34, and it maps to paragraph 2, item (c) in that section of the BAA. In practical terms, that means the BAA governs the official requirements: how to format and submit proposals, how proposals will be evaluated, what administrative rules apply, and how awards may be executed.

The funding opportunity is discretionary and indicates that ONR may make awards using grant and/or procurement contract instruments, depending on the nature of the work and the government purpose being served. The associated CFDA number listed is 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), aligning the effort with early-stage to applied research activities rather than a procurement of a fully defined end product. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the special notice, so applicants generally would not be required to provide matching funds, though the definitive guidance remains the ONRBAA13-001 instructions.

Key dates provided include a posted and creation date of December 17, 2012, with a full proposal closing date of January 18, 2013, and an archive date of February 17, 2013. Full proposals submitted after the due date could still be considered, but only if agency time allows and if funding remains available, which is a common caveat in research BAAs. Eligibility is not fully spelled out in the special notice itself; instead, applicants are told to refer to ONRBAA13-001 for eligibility rules and any special conditions. The listing uses a broad eligibility label and points back to the BAA for clarification, which typically means the pool may include a range of organizations (for example, academic institutions, industry, nonprofit research organizations, and potentially others), but the authoritative answer is whatever ONRBAA13-001 specifies.

For access and administrative help, the announcement includes a point of contact: Richard Pollack, Contract Specialist, at 703-588-2432, particularly for those who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically. Any Grants.gov-related questions would follow the usual federal submission support pathways, while the programmatic and contractual details remain anchored to the ONRBAA13-001 documentation and its application package. In short, this notice functions as a targeted spotlight on hypoxia monitoring and mitigation research that ONR wants to encourage under its broader BAA framework, with all submission and evaluation handled through the ONRBAA13-001 process rather than through the special notice itself.
