The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is soliciting research proposals for its Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Foundational Research (W911NF-23-S-0001), which is open until November 20, 2027. The BAA seeks innovative basic (6.1) and applied (6.2) research, with potential for advanced technology development, to support the ARL's mission of operationalizing science for future Army overmatch. Research topics are detailed on the ARL BAA website. The program is executed by the Army Research Directorate (ARD) and the Army Research Office (ARO), which also offers targeted opportunities like the Early Career Program (ECP), Short-Term Innovative Research (STIR) awards, and a Visiting Scientist Program (VSP). The submission process encourages a preliminary whitepaper before a full proposal. A key requirement is the Army Research Risk Assessment Program (ARRP), which evaluates proposals and key personnel for undue foreign influence and requires disclosure of all support and a signed Privacy Act consent form. Awards may be structured as contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or Other Transactions (OTs).

vi. EXPORT CONTROL LAWS (1) Assistance Instruments: N/A (2) Contracts: Applicants should be aware of current export control laws and are responsible for ensuring compliance with all export control laws, including International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) (22 CFR 120 et. Seq.) and the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR 58 730) requirements, as applicable. In some cases, developmental items funded by the Department of Defense are now included on the United States Munition List (USML) and are therefore subject to ITAR jurisdiction. The USML is available online at http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text- idx?node=pt22.1.121. Additional information regarding the President's Export Control Reform Initiative can be found at http://export.gov/ecr/index.asp.
