Description
The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the availability of the FY 2012 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions (HBCU/MI). This BAA is a set-aside for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions. However, there will be an opportunity for Sub-grantees to partner with accredited institutions. These accredited institutions are not limited to HBCUs or MIs. The BAA aims to a) enhance research programs and capabilities in scientific and engineering disciplines critical to the national security functions of the DoD; (b) encourage greater participation by HBCU/MI in DoD research and education programs and activities; (c) increase the number of graduates, including underrepresented minorities, in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); and (d) encourage research and educational collaboration with other institutions of higher education.
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, 11 July 2012. The BAA is available for viewing at the following address:
