FY25 Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology

Funds Navy and Marine Corps research across almost any science or engineering field through one long-running call.

Between cyclesOffice of Naval ResearchUnited States

Most Navy and Marine Corps research money does not come from a topic-specific call โ€” it comes through this one standing door, open across a spectrum of science and engineering disciplines at once.

ONR, ONR Global and MCWL use it to declare their broad role in competitive research funding, rather than to describe one project. Businesses of every size, universities, and research organisations worldโ€ฆ

Long-range science and engineering research of potential benefit to Navy and Marine Corps operations, open across a full spectrum of disciplines rather than one named topic, with federally funded research and development centers and government laboratories barred from receiving an award directly.

CycleiHow often this grant runs - e.g. annually, on a rolling basis, or a one-off call.Multiple per year
