Air Delivered Effects Broad Area Announcement
This Air Force BAA funds research and related technical development on air delivered effects for eligible applicants under a federal contract solicitation.
⚑ Federal contract solicitation/BAA under the Department of the Air Force (not a grant). · Applicant restrictions apply; the notice does not specify the eligible classes in the provided text. · Closing date: 2027-03-21.
This is a defense/applied-research broad agency announcement focused on air-delivered effects, materials, AI, and communications, which is far outside IPPRA’s core survey, risk perception, and policy-evaluation lines. The team could only engage at the margins via defense-adjacent risk communication, but none of the named researchers has this as a plausible PI-level program.
