AI summaryThis program funds basic and applied research, and some development work that is not tied to a specific system or hardware purchase, in areas that support the Naval Postgraduate School’s education and research mission. Eligible applicants are U.S. nonprofits and institutions of higher education, plus other eligible sources named in the announcement such as U.S. academia, U.S. nonprofit research institutions, U.S. laboratories outside the federal government, and accredited foreign universities; individuals, industry, FFRDCs, Navy and other government labs are not eligible to receive awards. Awards may be grants or cooperative agreements, and the funded amount and period of performance will vary by project; contracts will not be awarded. Cost sharing is not expected and will not affect review, though voluntary cost sharing may be considered if offered. The announcement is open nationwide and also allows accredited foreign universities and, in some cases, University Affiliated Research Centers, unless their DoD contract bars participation.

What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
This FOA is intended for proposals related to basic and applied research in the STEM categories, and not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. The proposal submission process has two stages: I. Applicants are encouraged to submit a white paper first to Grants@NPS.edu, ; and II. Applicants must submit a full proposal through Grants.gov (do not submit white papers through Grants.gov, only full proposals) Applicants are encouraged to submit a White Paper in advance of a Full Proposal to minimize the labor and other costs associated with the production of detailed full proposals that have little chance of being selected for funding. Based on an assessment of the white papers, the responsible Research Program Officer will provide informal feedback notification to the prospective awardees to encourage or discourage submission proposals. The Research Program Officer may also, on occasion, provide feedback encouraging re-work to strengthen a proposal. White Papers may be submitted at any time during the open period of this FOA. A separate White Paper is required for each research proposal.
Who can apply
- Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education)
- Private institutions of higher education
- Public and State controlled institutions of higher education
