FY 2001 Innovative Science and Technology Research Program for the BMDO Office of the Chief Scientist. Broad Agency Announcement of FY01 Research Opportunities of the Office of the Chief Scientist. The BMDO/ST is announcing topics which comprise its FY01 scientific research program. This is a competitive program which will consist of applied/ exploraratory research approaches through scientific and technological investigation in the seven topical areas listed below. Competitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts are anticipated for award through FY01. Academic institutions are especially encouraged to participate. Proposed research will be evaluated using the following selection criteria. (in descending order of priority): (1) Scientific and technical excellence of the research and its relevance to BMDO goals, with special emphasis on innovation, originality, and uniqueness. (2) The offeror's capabilities, related experience, facilities, techniques, or unique combinations of these which are integral factorsfor achieving the proposal objectives. (3) Qualifications, capabilities, and experience of the proposed principal investigator, team leader, or key personnel who are critical in achieving the proposal objectives. (4) Ability of the proposed effort to make progress toward demonstrating the feasibility of the concept in accordance with BMDO programmatic needs. (5) Realism of the proposed cost and availability of funds. (6) In addition, descriptions that identify opportunities for the commercialization of products emerging from the proposed research are encouraged. Proposals will be accepted any time through FY01. Prospective investigators who desire more information may obtain a 1997 program brochure via written request (no phone calls, please) from BMDO/ST at the above address. The brochure provides instructions for proposing. A list of addresses of current Science and Technology Agents to whom inquiries and proposals are to be directed, will be provided.
