Opportunity Information: Apply for N6893619R0020
The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) titled "BAA for Post-Doctoral Fellowships at NAWCWD, China Lake, CA" (Funding Opportunity Number N6893619R0020) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity issued by NAVAIR. It supports science and technology and other research and development efforts by funding an organization to administer a postdoctoral fellowship program connected to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) at China Lake, California. Rather than funding a single research project directly, the central purpose is to select an awardee that can run the full fellowship program on behalf of NAWCWD and ensure postdoctoral fellows are successfully placed and supported in relevant Navy research environments.
The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the government expects to have substantial involvement during performance compared to a standard grant. Under this structure, the selected organization would be responsible for executing all efforts necessary to facilitate postdoctoral fellowships at NAWCWD. The fellowships can span basic research, applied research, or advanced technology development, covering a wide range of possible technical areas aligned with NAWCWD mission needs. In practical terms, the work implied by "administration of a postdoctoral fellowship program" usually includes activities like recruiting and selecting fellows, coordinating with NAWCWD technical staff and laboratories, onboarding fellows, managing stipends or participant support costs (as applicable), tracking progress and deliverables, ensuring compliance with any applicable federal and organizational policies, and handling reporting and program oversight throughout the fellowship lifecycle.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That means the opportunity is aimed at nonprofit entities that can operate as independent fellowship-program administrators rather than universities. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 12.300, which corresponds to Department of Defense research and development assistance, further reinforcing that this is part of DoD R&D support infrastructure rather than a purely academic program.
Key administrative details provided include an award ceiling of $250,000. The expected number of awards is not specified in the source data. The opportunity was created on 2019-03-05, and the original closing date was 2019-05-01. Applicants were directed to consult the linked additional information for the specific instructions on how to respond to the BAA, indicating that proposal content, formatting, submission steps, and evaluation criteria were likely defined in the full announcement package rather than the brief synopsis.Apply for N6893619R0020
