Research Initiatives at the Naval Postgraduate School

This FOA is intended for proposals related to basic and applied research in the STEM categories, and not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. The proposal submission process has two stages: I. Applicants are encouraged to submit a white paper first to Grants@NPS.edu, ; and II. Applicants must submit a full proposal through Grants.gov (do not submit white papers through Grants.gov, only full proposals) Applicants are encouraged to submit a White Paper in advance of a Full Proposal to minimize the labor and other costs associated with the production of detailed full proposals that have little chance of being selected for funding. Based on an assessment of the white papers, the responsible Research Program Officer will provide informal feedback notification to the prospective awardees to encourage or discourage submission proposals. The Research Program Officer may also, on occasion, provide feedback encouraging re-work to strengthen a proposal. White Papers may be submitted at any time during the open period of this FOA. A separate White Paper is required for each research proposal.

Registration Instructions

To apply to DoD for assistance awards you must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM), Grants.gov and any DoD site(s) listed in this NoFO. Provided here is general information about the processes but they may change at any time during the duration of this NoFO. Please follow directions on each site for registration requirements.

Some aspects of registrations may take several weeks. Therefore, an organization's registration should be done in sufficient time to ensure it does not impact the entity's ability to meet required application submission deadlines. Note: Failure to allow enough time for the systems to complete the registration is not considered a valid explanation for an inability to apply through Grants.gov.
