Description
The U.S. Navy (NAVSEA) issues a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeking pre‑proposals and full proposals for applied biomedical research and diving‑equipment development aimed at improving diver health, safety, performance, deep‑diving capabilities, and submarine escape and rescue. Projects are expected to be two years (up to three) in duration with typical annual budgets around $300 K or less. The solicitation provides two fiscal‑year cycles (FY28 and FY29) with separate pre‑proposal and full‑proposal deadlines. The award will be competitive and evaluated on innovation, relevance, value, technical capability, data‑rights considerations, and project management.
• Primary research areas: diving gas supply, human performance, environmental protection, decompression, tools/transportation/training, and submarine escape & rescue.
• Funding: Roughly $300 K per year per award; projects may be up to 3 years, average total cost ≤ $900 K.
