- Description
- The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command's (USAMRMC) mission is to provide solutions to medical problems of importance to the American Service member at home and abroad, as well as to the general public at large. The scope of this effort and the priorities attached to specific projects are influenced by changes in military and civilian medical science and technology, operational requirements, military threat assessments, and national defense strategies. The extramural research and development program plays a vital role in the fulfillment of the objectives established by the USAMRMC. General information on USAMRMC can be obtained at https://mrmc.detrick.army.mil/. This BAA is intended to solicit extramural research and development ideas, and is issued under the provisions of the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-369), as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.102(d)(2) and 35.016. This BAA provides a general description of USAMRMC's research and development programs, including: research areas of interest; general information; evaluation and selection criteria; and proposal/application preparation instructions. Research and development funded through this BAA is intended and expected to benefit and inform both military and civilian medical practice and knowledge. In accordance with FAR 6.102, projects funded under this BAA must be for basic and applied research and that part of development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. Projects must be for scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding rather than focusing on a specific system or hardware solution. This is a continuously open announcement; pre-proposal/pre-applications and full proposal/full applications may be submitted at any time throughout the 12-month period. However, no proposal/application submitted under this BAA will be considered for funding after 24 months from the date of submission. Before submitting full proposal/applications, organizations are strongly encouraged to explore USAMRMC interest by submitting preliminary research proposal/applications (pre-proposal/pre-applications). Pre-proposal/pre-applications may be submitted at any time prior to the BAA closing date. This fiscal year's BAA contains several changes from previous USAMRMC BAAs: research areas of interest have been updated; instructions are provided for marking proprietary information if included in full proposals/applications; information and instructions regarding Conflicts of Interest have been added; in addition to current and pending support information, PIs and key personnel are required to provide prior (within the last 5 years) support information; areas addressing Representations and Certifications have changed; attachment entitled quote mark Organizational Data quote mark is added; attachment previously entitled quote mark Certificate of Environmental Compliance quote mark is changed to quote mark Environmental Compliance Assurance quote mark ; attachment entitled quote mark Facility Safety Plan Instructions quote mark has been updated. The USAMRMC BAA 14-1 is located at www.grants.gov.
