A -- FY2006 Postdoctoral Program

The Fiscal Year 2006 DCI Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program competition aims to foster long-term mentoring relationships between postdoctoral researchers and the Intelligence Community (IC), while enhancing research organizations' understanding of the IC’s critical needs. The program supports innovation by encouraging partnerships that facilitate postdoctoral researchers transitioning to career roles and addressing significant intelligence challenges. The 2006 program encompasses forty-seven specific topic areas of interest, inviting applications only from individuals affiliated with U.S. domestic non-profit or not-for-profit organizations. This procurement will result solely in contracts; no grants or cooperative agreements will be awarded. Detailed information regarding the program will be available through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), which was scheduled to be posted on the NGA website under Business Opportunities on February 17, 2006. The contract officials include Sharon McDowell, the Contract Specialist, and Gwen D. Wood, the Contracting Officer, both reachable via phone and email for inquiries. This initiative highlights the Intelligence Community’s commitment to cultivating a talent pipeline and advancing innovative research aligned with its strategic priorities.
