Chemical and Biological Defense Fund & Chemical/Biological Technologies Directorate, Physical Science and Technology Division New Initiatives, FY2008 - FY2010: The CBDIF goal is to fund new and innovative chemical and biological science and technology projects across a wide range of military operations. Established in FY2003, it is Congressionally directed with the intent to provide funds via a competitive acquisition to non-Government entities. The Physical Science & Technology Division, Chemical and Biological Technologies Directorate, in its continuing mission, seeks new and innovative ideas for experimental and theoretical development of technologies to fill DoD requirements for chemical and biological defense. The goal is to identify and select science and technology projects that can be transitioned to joint acquisition programs. Proposals may only address those topics presented in Attachment 8 of the BAA. This BAA is a multi-year BAA, remaining effective for three years from the initial date of issuance, unless amended otherwise. Multiple calls for proposals may occur in conjunction with this BAA. The topics and timelines (Attachment 8) published in the initial issuance are firm. In the future, ongoing, new or emerging requirements may necessitate amendment of the BAA to include new or different topics. At any time that the topics are amended, new proposal submission milestones (timelines) will be specified and as applicable any limitations specific to the topics will be noted. Over the span of its term, this BAA will solicit basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development proposals for the topics presented in Attachment 8 and in effect at the time. Depending on the nature of requirements and/or available funding, each of these research categories may or may not be included in the most current List of Topics. Proposals may each address Basic Research, or Applied Research and/or Advanced Technology Development as specified in each topic. Proposals will not be accepted or considered that combine Basic Research with Applied Research and/or Advanced Technology Development. The Government encourages proposals that span a wide spectrum of possible technical and business solutions in response to the specific technology topics stated in Attachment 8 of this BAA. The Government reserves the right to award any combination of approaches which offer the best overall value to the Government, and to oversee any and all processes and approaches once ongoing.
