Proposals may be submitted under contract, grant, or other transaction authority and must align with ARI’s research focus areas, including measurement science, multilevel organizational dynamics, learning and development, holistic personnel assessment, leader competencies, team performance, and technological fluency. The solicitation is continuously open from May 2023 through April 2028, with a final submission deadline of 30 April 2028. No specific budget ceiling is listed; awards will be made based on scientific merit, relevance to ARI’s mission, PI qualifications, and cost realism.
• Eligible entities: universities, non‑profits, for‑profit firms (domestic or foreign) – except government labs, FFRDCs, and service academies as prime contractors.
• Multiple award instruments possible (contract, grant, cooperative agreement, OTA), generally without mandatory cost‑share.
• Required deliverables include technical reports, progress briefings, final data sets, and compliance with human‑subjects, export‑control, and other federal regulations.
