Special Program Announcement for Office of Naval Research: DARPA/ONR Field-Reversible Thermal Connector (RevCon) Challenge II: This announcement describes a program thrust, entitled "DARPA/ONR Field-Reversible Thermal Connector (RevCon) Challenge II," to be launched initially under the ONR FOA12-002, 'FY12 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Navy and Marine Corps Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) Programs', which can be found at http://www.onr.navy.mil/Contracts-Grants/Funding-Opportunities/Broad-Agency-Announcements.aspx. However, proposals will be received under the new FY13 STEM Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), which is expected to be released in September 2012, since the requested submission date for the RevCon Challenge proposals will be after the expiration of FOA12-002. Once the new FY13 STEM FOA is released, it will be amended to require the RevCon Challenge full proposals to be submitted under that FOA number, rather than the ONR FOA 12-002 or the apply function under this Special Notice. This announcement is being initially submitted under the current FOA, which is anticipated to be replaced by 30 September 2012, to allow sufficient time for potential post-secondary students interested in the program to arrange a faculty advisor before the start of the fall semester. The requirements for proposal submission, evaluation, and award of any resulting grants will ultimately be subject to the terms described in the FY13 STEM FOA. Potential Offerors may review the current FOA12-002 to get a general understanding of what the proposal requirements may be in the FY13 STEM FOA. ************************************************* APPLICANTS SHALL NOT APPLY UNDER THIS SPECIAL NOTICE. APPLICANTS SHALL APPLY USING THE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND PACKAGE UNDER ONRFOA12-002
