Challenge Summary
Description
Continuous Open White Paper Submissions

This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) will remain open 5 years from the BAA posting date (March 2022) or until amended or superseded. It may be reissued and/or amended periodically, as needed. This BAA is set up in two parts: (1) Basic Open BAA, in which white papers may be submitted at any time during the open period, and (2) Call BAA, in which white paper/proposal Call announcements may be issued by the Government in beta.sam.gov and grants.gov under FA8651-22-S-0001. This BAA is intended to cover Basic Research (6.1), Applied Research (6.2), and Advanced Technology Development (6.3). It is recommended each submitter consult with the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) to discuss the topic(s) of interest prior to white paper submission.
