Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification) Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"
Additional Information on Eligibility: Single investigators or teams from private sector organizations, Government Laboratories, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and academic institutions, are encouraged to respond. DoE Laboratories may also respond with the exception of those listed in Appendix A. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Minority Institutions (MI), small and disadvantaged businesses (SDB), women-owned businesses (WB), and HUB-zone enterprises are encouraged to submit Proposals, and to join others as team members in submitting Proposals; however, no portion of the BAA will be set-aside for these special entities because of the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable areas of research and development under this topic.
Grant Description: The IBADS Program will develop sensors systems to enable Detect-to-Protect systems for the nation?s critical infrastructure. Examples of critical infrastructure include but are not limited to: government buildings, airports, subways, office buildings, shopping malls, sports arenas, hotels, and hospitals. Rapid detection of an aerosol release will enable timely implementation of protective measures to protect occupants and minimize the extent of contamination. A secondary objective is to support response and restoration operations and minimize the overall economic impact of a biological attack. Because of the vast array of building and facility designs, no single sensor solution will fit all applications. HSARPA desires to develop sensors that can be rapidly integrated into system architectures meeting the broadest possible range of user requirements. User requirements will vary according to their perceived risk, false positive tolerance and cost sensitivity.
