Opportunity Summary:
The DARPA/ONR Field Reversible Thermal Connector (RevCon) Challenge is a special program thrust announced by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in partnership with DARPA. The notice is essentially a heads-up that this RevCon Challenge topic will be competed and funded under a larger, standing ONR funding vehicle rather than through this standalone listing. In practical terms, this posting functions as a program announcement describing the existence of the RevCon Challenge and pointing applicants to the correct master solicitation that governs how to apply, how proposals will be reviewed, and what rules will apply to awards.
A key point of the opportunity is that applicants are explicitly instructed not to submit an application under this special notice itself. Instead, proposals must be submitted under the FY12 STEM Long Range Annual Funding Opportunity Announcement identified as ONRFOA12-002, titled "Long Range Annual Funding Opportunity Announcement for Navy and Marine Corps Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Programs for K-12 and Institutions of Higher Education." That parent FOA contains the authoritative instructions for proposal preparation and submission (including the correct application package), as well as the evaluation criteria and award terms and conditions. Any grant resulting from the RevCon Challenge would therefore be issued according to the policies and procedures laid out in ONRFOA12-002, not the special notice.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant program with an education-related funding activity category, and it is tied to CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The posted dates indicate it was originally posted on August 15, 2011, created on October 31, 2011, with an original closing date of September 30, 2011, later updated to a current closing date of December 8, 2011, and an archive date of January 7, 2012. The listing also specifies that no cost sharing or matching is required, which means applicants were not expected to provide mandatory non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary cost share could still be addressed under the rules of the parent FOA.
Eligibility for the RevCon Challenge follows the eligibility language of ONRFOA12-002 rather than being uniquely defined in this notice. Still, the notice summarizes a wide range of eligible applicant types, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, independent school districts, city or township governments, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Because the notice defers to the parent FOA for definitive eligibility requirements, applicants would need to confirm any additional constraints, documentation requirements, and submission prerequisites in ONRFOA12-002.
The sponsoring agency is the Office of Naval Research. For additional details, applicants are directed to ONR's broad agency announcement and funding opportunities page (the notice includes a link reference to ONR FOAs). For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact provided is Tracie Simmons for grants.gov-related questions.
