The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center in Natick, MA has posted a Broad Agency Announcement (a standing call for research ideas) covering basic and applied research for soldier equipment and technology. The text lists the technical areas of interest but does not say how to submit, how awards are made, or how much money is available.
Watch out for
- No submission or evaluation details in the text. The notice only lists research topics, so you cannot tell how to apply, what to send, or how proposals are scored without the full BAA document.
- Research and development focus. These are science and engineering research topics, which usually favor firms or partners with lab capability and relevant technical track records.
Read from the notice text only.
