| Description: | The Department of Army announces the availability of the fiscal year 2010 Partnership in Research Transition (PIRT) Program. The program is executed under policy and guidance of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology) and administered through the Army Research Office (ARO). The PIRT is established as the second phase of what was previously known as the Battlefield Capability Enhancement (BCE) Centers of Excellence. This BAA is set-aside for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). However, sub-awards to non-HBCUs and/or industry are allowable for up to 30 percent of the annual budget.
The principal objective of the PIRT is to enhance programs and capabilities of a select number of high-interest scientific and engineering disciplines through Army-relevant, topic-focused, near-transition-ready innovative research. Furthering the Army Research Laboratorys (ARL) policy of advocating and supporting research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and consistent with the stated mission of the White House Initiative on HBCUs, a secondary objective of PIRT is to strengthen the capacity of HBCUs to provide excellence in education and to conduct research critical to the national security functions of the Department of Defense (DoD).
