Description
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is seeking proposals for research initiatives in various fields, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The proposals should offer potential for advancement and improvement in NPS's core mission of graduate education and research. The research should be basic or applied, and not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. The funded amount and period of performance will vary depending on the research area and technical approach.
• Proposals can be submitted by U.S. academia, U.S. non-profit research institutions, U.S. laboratories outside of the Federal Government, and accredited foreign universities.
• Cost sharing is not expected, but voluntary cost sharing may be considered.
• Proposals should include a white paper and a full proposal, with the white paper submitted first to minimize labor and costs.
• The proposal submission process has two stages, with applicants encouraged to submit a white paper before submitting a full proposal.
• Awards will be in the form of grants or cooperative agreements, with no contracts awarded under this FOA.
