This grant is for attracting outstanding researchers and scholars to investigate topics of interest to the defense acquisition community. It seeks innovative proposals for defense acquisition management and policy research, to be conducted over approximately 12 months. This includes investigations across all disciplines relevant to improving defense acquisition, such as economics, finance, information systems, human resources, contracting, program management, logistics, and systems engineering. Proposed research must provide a public benefit beyond merely enhancing DoD and DoN acquisition programs, with findings also potentially applicable to improving private-sector competitiveness or effectiveness.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | All responsible institutions from academia and industry may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation. U.S. Government schools of higher education, Navy laboratories and warfare centers, as well as other DoD and civilian agency laboratories are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. Federally Funded Research & Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are likewise not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. These types of organizations should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in conducting acquisition research, the organization should submit a technical proposal and cost estimate to the technical point of contact identified in Section I.7 to discuss its area of research interest. |

| Description: | This BAAs primary objective is to attract outstanding researchers and scholars who will investigate topics of interest to the defense acquisition community. The program solicits innovative proposals for defense acquisition management and policy research to be conducted for approximately a 12-month period during the September 2013 through May 2015 timeframe. In this BAA, the phrase defense acquisition management and policy research refers to investigations in all disciplines, fields, and domains that (1) are involved in the acquisition of products and/or services for national defense, or (2) could potentially be brought to bear to improve defense acquisition. These include but are not limited to economics, finance, financial management, information systems, organization theory, operations management, human resources management, and marketing, as well as the traditional acquisition areas such as contracting, program/project management, logistics, and systems engineering management. The proposed research must provide through the dissemination of findings in a final Technical Report a public benefit beyond the potential to improve the efficiency, quality, innovation, and/or cost of DoD and DoN acquisition programs. Findings, for instance, should also be potentially applicable to improving private-sector competitiveness or effectiveness. |
