| Office of Naval Research: Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions | White Papers Due: 09/07/2022 Invited Proposal Due: 12/14/2022 | $450,000 ($150,000 per year for 3 years) | No | 3 years | U.S.-based Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) of higher education with degree granting programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) | This program is aimed to increase the quantity and quality of minority professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the defense community. Applicants are to be proposing efforts that advance basic naval-relevant science and technology (S&T), engage faculty and students in STEM discovery (including underrepresented minorities), and expand the research capacity of participant institutions. |
| Office of Naval Research: Science and Technology for Advanced Manufacturing Projects (STAMP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) N00014-22-S-B002 | November 30, 2022 | Open | No match required, but cost sharing may improve chances of award | Open; dependent upon proposal | Eligibility is limited to persons and organizations that are part of the national technology and industrial base as that term is defined in 10 U.S.C. § 2500 | The overall goal of this effort is to continue to support Manufacturing Technology projects that offer potential for advancement and improvement of military operations in areas that address the focus areas of the ManTech Program and the Manufacturing Innovation Institutes (MIIs), with a long-range goal of expanding the market. This BAA places a priority on projects that advance the systems engineering approach for the design, fabrication, and manufacture of structural components to address challenges in system weight, performance, affordability, and/or survivability. The intent is to bring together material designers, material suppliers, product designers, and manufacturers to collaborate on the design, production, and commercialization of novel affordable, manufacturable systems. Projects may include basic and applied research, technology and component development, and prototyping; but may also focus on manufacturing supply-chain technical support and integration, workforce development, and manufacturing education. |
