AI Contract Overview
The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) HT9425-23-S-SOC1 issued by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) solicits extramural biomedical and human performance research and development to advance scientific knowledge for both military and civilian medical practice. This five-year funding opportunity is continuously open from August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2028, and focuses on basic and applied research rather than the development of specific hardware or systems. The program aims to support innovative medical techniques and materiel for Special Operations Forces operating in challenging, austere, and far-forward environments. Managed through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) and the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP), the BAA utilizes a trade-off selection process where technical merit, mission relevance to Special Operations Forces, and scientific excellence are the primary drivers for award decisions. The application process follows a mandatory two-step procedure. Interested parties must first submit a pre-proposal through the electronic Biomedical Research Application Portal (eBRAP). If USSOCOM determines the research is of interest, the Principal Investigator will receive an invitation to submit a full proposal via Grants.gov. Proposals must be submitted as discrete PDF attachments following strict naming conventions and page limits, including a project narrative, technical and lay abstracts, and innovation statements. Evaluation factors include research objectives, scientific design excellence, impact, budget realism, and the qualifications of key personnel. While individual award ceilings typically range from $1.5 million to $5 million, the program is subject to annual funding availability. All applicants must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with rigorous requirements regarding conflicts of interest, data management, and the protection of sensitive medical supplies during transport.
