Description
The USSOCOM Broad Agency Announcement seeks extramural basic and applied research to advance biomedical, human‑performance, and canine‑medicine technologies for Special Operations Forces and broader civilian use. Proposals must address one or more of the listed Research Areas of Interest (RAIs) such as Damage Control Resuscitation, Prolonged Field Care, medical sensors, brain health, human performance optimization, or canine medical simulation. The solicitation is continuously open from 1 Aug 2023 through 31 Jul 2028, with a maximum project period of five years and an individual award ceiling of $5 million (up to $10 million for exceptional merit). Annual funding across all awards is capped at $20 million. Submissions begin with a pre‑proposal via eBRAP (no fixed deadline) and, if invited, a full proposal on Grants.gov must be submitted within 60 days. No cost‑share is required, but applicants must maintain active SAM registration, obtain UEI, and secure any required human‑subject or animal‑use approvals.
