18 / 100 IPPRA team judgment
FITS: Andrew Fox

This is a defense/applied-research BAA centered on air-delivered effects, which is far outside the team’s main survey, risk communication, and policy-evaluation programs. Andrew Fox has the closest adjacent fit because of his national-security/threat-perception line, but this still looks like a technical AFRL solicitation rather than something this team would likely pursue as PI.
