Grant Description: The Human Effectiveness Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is soliciting white papers under this announcement for innovative technologies and scientific and programmatic services to support advanced biosciences research. The objective of this BAA is to address highly unique and innovative Science and Technology areas in Biosciences and Protection. The technology research in the BAA will be primarily focused in the following five research and technology areas: 1) Applied Biotechnology, 2) Fatigue Countermeasures, 3) Aircrew Performance and Protection, 4) Biomechanics, and 5) Counterproliferation. The objective of this BAA is to support and augment core research activities and facilities/equipment developing and exploiting advances in biotechnology and the biosciences to protect the force by providing the necessary essential infrastructure, personnel, administrative, and programmatic services to capitalize on biological systems to provide radically new military capabilities that improve warfighter performance and combat effectiveness. Such assistance will provide for a broad range of revolutionary and evolutionary technologies to meet the critical needs of the warfighter for full dimensional protection, survivability, and performance enhancement. Scientific and programmatic services include the hiring of personnel, provision of research support services, the administration and facilitation of research proposals/grants, provision of administrative, management, financial, and programmatic services, and purchase equipment and supplies. Research support may include development and submission of research grants, execution of meeting and conferences, and Clinical Trial support. Interested offerors may view and/or download the full PRDA/BAA solicitation by accessing the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) homepage at http://www.fbo.gov/.
