Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number W912HZ12BAA01 is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to solicit research and development proposals across a wide set of engineering, environmental, and information technology disciplines that support U.S. Army and national needs. As a BAA, it is structured to accept ideas and technical approaches from a broad community rather than requesting a single, narrowly defined deliverable. The announcement indicates that proposals may be submitted at any time while the BAA remains active, and it stays open until it is replaced or superseded, making it more of a rolling research solicitation than a one time grant competition.
ERDC is the sponsoring organization and is made up of several laboratories located across the United States, each aligned to different mission areas. These include the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL), Environmental Laboratory (EL), and Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) in Vicksburg, Mississippi; the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire; the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) in Champaign, Illinois; and the Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) in Alexandria, Virginia. The BAA is designed to route proposed work to the appropriate lab based on the topic area and the technical personnel listed in the detailed topic descriptions.
The research scope is very broad and reflects ERDCs core mission of advancing science and engineering for military and civil works applications. Topic areas described include hydraulics, dredging, coastal engineering, instrumentation, oceanography, and remote sensing; geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, soil behavior and soil effects; vehicle mobility and military engineering; geophysics, pavements, protective structures, and materials and structures; environmental work such as aquatic plants, water quality, dredged material management, hazardous waste treatment, and wetlands; cold regions science including the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of snow and frozen precipitation; and installation and infrastructure related research such as facilities maintenance, energy, telecommunications management, computer science, engineering and environmental processes, land and heritage conservation, and ecological processes. In practice, this means applicants can propose basic, applied, or advanced research as long as it aligns with one or more ERDC topic areas and provides clear technical merit and relevance.
From an award mechanics standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and supports multiple possible funding instruments, including grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other arrangements. The listing notes an expected number of awards of about 10, but BAAs often make awards based on the quality and relevance of proposals and the availability of funds rather than a strict quota. The CFDA number is 12.630, labeled Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering, and the funding activity is described generally as research and development. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The published posting date is January 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date shown as January 31, 2013 and an archive date of March 2, 2013 in the record, although the narrative language emphasizes that the BAA remains open until superseded and can accept proposals on a rolling basis.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the solicitation is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any specific limitations that may be detailed in the full announcement or individual topic descriptions. That typically includes universities, nonprofit research organizations, private companies, and other qualified performers who can meet federal contracting or assistance requirements. The award ceiling and floor are shown as 0 in the summary record, which usually indicates that funding levels vary by topic and are not fixed in the top line listing; applicants would be expected to propose a reasonable budget tied to their technical approach and scope.
For submission guidance and access to the full announcement, the BAA is referenced through a Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) link. For questions on proposals directed to CHL, EL, GSL, TEC, or ITL, the point of contact is Lisa Luckett (phone 601 634 2633, email Lisa.K.Luckett@usace.army.mil). For CERL related proposals, points of contact include Vickie Swan (217 373 4480, Vickie.l.swan@usace.army.mil) and Andrea Krouse (217 373 6746, andrea.j.krouse@usace.army.mil). For CRREL related proposals, the point of contact is Wendy Adams (603 646 4323, Wendy.A.Adams@usace.army.mil). The announcement also advises contacting the technical personnel listed within each topic area for topic specific technical questions, which is important because BAAs typically require alignment with a defined set of research interests and evaluation criteria managed by those technical leads.
