ERDC Broad Agency Announcement
Funds civil, structural, materials and environmental research across the Army's engineering labs, continuously open with no real dollar ceiling on record.
The Army Corps of Engineers runs its research through six labs spread across five U.S. states, and this standing announcement is how any of them takes in outside research — from coastal hydraulics to cold-regions engineering to computer science.
The range of subjects named is enormous: hydraulics, dredging and coastal engineering; geotechnical and earthquake engineering; military engineering and …
Research and development across the Engineer Research and Development Center's full civil, structural, geotechnical, coastal, materials, environmental, computing and energy portfolio, submitted as pre-proposals reviewed on a rolling basis year-round, with funding availability potentially limiting awards in any one area.
