Opportunity Information: Apply for N00174200001
The Naval Engineering Education Consortium (NEEC) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for FY20 is a U.S. Department of Defense research and development grant opportunity administered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Indian Head. It is positioned as a discretionary funding opportunity focused on science and technology and other R&D efforts that support naval engineering-related education and research priorities. In practical terms, the announcement is meant to attract proposals that strengthen the naval engineering talent pipeline and advance technical capabilities relevant to Navy needs, using the NEEC framework to connect academic performers with naval laboratories and mission problems.
This opportunity is offered as a grant (rather than a contract vehicle) under Funding Opportunity Number N00174200001 and is associated with CFDA 12.300, which is commonly used for Department of Defense research programs. The eligible applicant pool is limited to institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled universities and private universities or colleges. That framing indicates the government is seeking academic-led research or education-aligned R&D activities, typically with a strong emphasis on student involvement, workforce development, and collaboration with Navy researchers, although the exact technical areas and topic structure would be laid out in the full BAA.
From a funding standpoint, the award ceiling is listed as $450,000 per award, and the agency anticipated making about 15 awards. That combination suggests a program designed to distribute moderate-sized grants across multiple institutions or teams, encouraging a portfolio of projects rather than a single large effort. The scale is consistent with seed-to-mid-level applied research, prototype demonstrations, curriculum or laboratory enhancements tied to naval engineering challenges, and faculty-student research efforts that can mature into longer-term Navy collaboration.
Key administrative timing details are that the opportunity was created on September 9, 2020, with an original closing date of October 30, 2020. The relatively short window between posting and closing is typical for BAAs that are part of an annual cycle or that target organizations already familiar with NEEC and naval laboratory collaboration processes. Interested applicants would generally be expected to develop a technically sound proposal aligned to the BAA requirements, demonstrate the relevance to naval engineering or defense R&D priorities, and present a credible plan for execution within the available budget and period of performance described in the full announcement.
Overall, the NEEC FY20 BAA is best understood as a Navy-affiliated academic research grant call aimed at advancing naval engineering capabilities while developing the next generation of engineers and researchers. It leverages university participation to produce relevant technical outcomes, strengthen relationships between academia and the naval enterprise, and create pathways for students and faculty to contribute to Navy mission areas through targeted R&D projects.Apply for N00174200001
