Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Battery Network (BATTNET)
This BAA seeks research and development proposals for battery network (BATTNET) efforts to be funded through individual contracts under DLA DCSO Philadelphia.
⚑ Federal contract BAA; funding is via individual contracts, not grants/cooperative agreements · Five-year BAA; ceiling stated as $20M for the BAA · No other solicitation will be issued; attachments govern details · Public universities may apply directly unless the attached BAA imposes additional contract eligibility limits
This is a defense R&D BAA focused on battery network technology, materials/manufacturing, and computing/communications, which is far outside IPPRA’s core social-science program. The team’s fit would only be tangential through energy-policy or risk-perception angles, not as PI-level battery research.
