Opportunity Information: Apply for W912HZ 24 BAA 01
The ERDC Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), Funding Opportunity Number W912HZ-24-BAA-01, is a continuously open research and development solicitation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). Its purpose is to attract innovative science and technology concepts that support ERDC and Army mission needs across a wide range of engineering, environmental, and computational disciplines. Rather than being a single narrowly defined program, this BAA functions as an umbrella pathway for proposing new R&D efforts that align with ERDC laboratory interests and current government priorities, with projects typically supported through cooperative agreements.
ERDC is a distributed organization made up of multiple specialized laboratories, including the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL), Environmental Laboratory (EL), and Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) located in Vicksburg, Mississippi; the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire; the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) in Champaign, Illinois; and the Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) in Alexandria, Virginia. Collectively, these labs cover a broad technical portfolio that spans both civil works and military engineering applications, along with enabling technologies like modeling, sensing, data analytics, and communications.
The technical scope described in the announcement is intentionally wide and includes, among other areas, hydraulics and hydrology, dredging and dredged material management, coastal engineering and oceanography, instrumentation and remote sensing, geotechnical and earthquake engineering, soil-structure interaction and vehicle mobility, military engineering and protective structures, pavements and materials, geophysics, environmental quality topics such as aquatic plants, wetlands, water quality, and hazardous waste treatment, and cold regions science involving snow and frozen precipitation properties. It also emphasizes installation and infrastructure topics (energy, facilities maintenance, materials and structures, engineering and environmental processes, land and heritage conservation, and ecological processes), as well as computer science and information technology areas such as telecommunications management and related computational capabilities.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is open on a rolling basis. Pre-proposals may be submitted at any time during the year and are reviewed when received, which allows applicants to engage ERDC without waiting for a single fixed deadline cycle. The listing indicates an original closing date of 2024-12-31, but the announcement itself is described as continuously open, so organizations generally treat it as an always-available entry point for relevant ideas during the active period of the BAA.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types may apply as long as they can meet the federal requirements associated with a cooperative agreement. Because awards depend on available funding, the government notes that it may not be able to fund projects in every topic area at all times; however, it is still seeking pre-proposals across the full range of research areas described. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with a primary activity category of science and technology and other research and development, and it is associated with CFDA number 12.630.
For the specific research topic areas, current focus needs, and instructions on how to prepare and submit a pre-proposal under this BAA, the announcement directs applicants to the ERDCWERX page at: https://www.erdcwerx.org/u-s-army-engineer-research-and-development-center-broad-agency-announcement/.Apply for W912HZ 24 BAA 01
