Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Defense (DoD), through the Department of the Army Materiel Command, announced a Fiscal Year 2008 funding competition specifically set aside for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs). The purpose of the program is to strengthen institutional programs and research capabilities in scientific and engineering areas that matter to DoD national security missions, while also helping expand the pipeline of graduates, including underrepresented minorities, in physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering. In other words, the opportunity is designed to build long-term capacity at eligible institutions and support work that aligns with defense-related science and technology priorities.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements under a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). Eligibility is limited to HBCUs and MIs that have accredited, degree-granting programs in science, engineering, or mathematics, with additional eligibility details provided in Section II of the BAA. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing tied to this opportunity is 12.630, which covers basic, applied, and advanced research in science and engineering. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which typically means institutions do not need to provide a formal non-federal match to be considered.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists an estimated total program funding amount of $17,000,000. Individual awards could be as large as $575,000, while the award floor is listed as $0, which generally signals that award sizes may vary and are dependent on proposal scope, merit, and available funds rather than a guaranteed minimum. The opportunity is categorized as an earmark and falls under the broader Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area.
The BAA itself was only available online and was expected to be posted around July 30, 2008, on the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) website, with no hard-copy versions provided. Applicants were required to follow the BAA instructions for proposal preparation and submission, including delivering proposals to the address or addresses specified within the announcement. The proposal deadline was Thursday, September 18, 2008, at 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, and the opportunity was later archived on October 18, 2008.
For applicant questions and program communications, the listed point of contact was Ms. Peggy Lacewell (919-549-4339, peggy.lacewell@us.army.mil). For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice also provided a technical/access contact, Ernie Dixon (919-549-4270).
