The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the availability of the FY 2014 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions (HBCU/MI). This BAA is a set-aside for HBCU/MI. The program is designed to enhance the research capabilities of HBCU/MI, as well as science, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics (STEM) education programs of HBCU/MI. The purpose of the funding under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is to support the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation by HBCU/MI to augment existing capabilities, or to develop new capabilities, in technical areas of interest to the DoD. This includes basic equipment for use in research and education, as well as more sophisticated equipment and instrumentation (including software). In addition, although the funding provided under this BAA cannot be used for student support, in order to further DoD’s objective of attracting students to pursue studies leading to STEM careers, applicants must address the impact of the requested equipment and instrumentation on student participation in research.The BAA will contain additional information along with instructions for proposal preparation and submission. Proposals must be received through grants.gov no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, 18 June 2014.
