⚑ BAA for defense S&T/R&D; procurement contracts and grants/cooperative agreements may be used · eligibility details were not provided in the notice excerpt
This is a defense/munitions applied-research BAA centered on air-delivered effects and materials/manufacturing, which is far outside IPPRA’s social-behavioral research program. Even with the national security label, this is not the kind of risk-perception, communication, survey, or policy work this team would plausibly lead as PI.
