Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Any entity or team of entities, other than the specific Department of Energy Laboratories listed in Appendix A, may submit a White Paper and/or Proposal in accordance with the requirements and procedures identified in this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). There will be one submission permitted per group as the prime for TTA-1 and the first round of TTA-2. (see Section 5.13 of the Proposal Information Pamphlet, for additional information). 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 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 several areas of research and development under this topic. Teams, which may include private sector organizations, government laboratories including Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and academic institutions, are encouraged to respond.
Grant Description: This is a modification to identify the point of contact for this announcement. The applicable electronic address for all correspondence for this BAA is: BAA05-03@dhs.gov . Point of Contact: Mr. Trent DePersia, Program Manager, Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency, Washington, D.C. 20528, 202-254-6152 . A critical area of focus for DHS is the protection of the homeland from the threat of high explosives in vehicles. In support of this critical focus area, HSARPA is initiating the ?Prototypes and Technology for Improvised Explosives Device Detection? (PTIEDD)Program. Its goals are: . To develop, rapid prototype, and improve products and systems capable of detecting explosive compounds in vehicles; . To support research and development of next generation or novel technologies or prototypes for detection of improvised explosives in vehicles, in leave-behind packages, or carried by suicide bombers. . This BAA consists of two Technical Topic Areas (TTAs) described in Section 3. The BAA is structured to solicit Proposals for near term projects (TTA-1) where pre-production working prototypes are to be delivered and evaluated within 9 to 18 months after award. In addition, Proposals are also solicited to design, develop, and demonstrate future or novel technologies and devices (TTA-2) that will significantly advance the state of the art in each critical area. It is anticipated that prototypes will be delivered under TTA-2 no later than 60 months after award. . The PTIEDD Program will require innovative or novel capabilities in multiple disciplines including material science, computer science, chemistry, physics, electrical, mechanical and systems engineering. In order to best accomplish the goals of the PTIEDD Program, HSARPA anticipates receiving Proposals with innovative teaming that may include private sector organizations; government laboratories, including Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs); and academic institutions.
