OpportunityTitle: Select Topics in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: III. ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION  A. All responsible sources from academia and industry may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation, due to the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable items of this research for exclusive competition among the entities.  B. Federally Funded Research &amp; Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal bidders are allowed so long as they are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC.
Description: This announcement describes a research thrust, entitled &#147;Select Topics in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology&#148; to be launched under the ONRBAA15-001, Long Range Broad Agency Announcement for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology which can be found at http://www.onr.navy.mil/~/media/Files/Funding-Announcements/BAA/2015/15-001.ashx . The research opportunity described in this announcement specifically falls under the following sections of ONRBAA15-001: Topic #1- Self-Assembly Error Detection and Analysis in Complex DNA Nanostructures: Section I, entitled &#147;General Information&#148;, sub-section F, entitled &#147;Research Opportunity Description&#148;, the &#147;Warfighter Performance (Code 34)&#148; item, paragraph 2), listed C &#147;Biomaterials and Bionanotechnology&#148; Topic #2 &#150; Electric Field Assisted Sintering of Ceramics: Section I, entitled &#147;General Information&#148;, sub-section F, entitled &#147;Research Opportunity Description&#148;, the &#147;Sea Warfare and Weapons Department (Code 33)&#148; item, paragraph 2), subparagraph b, entitled &#147;Structural Materials&#148;. Topic #3 - Low Cost, Large Area Processing of Silicon Based Thin Film Solar Cells: Section I, entitled &#147;General Information&#148;, sub-section 6, entitled &#147;Research Opportunity Description&#148;, the &#147;Sea Warfare and Weapons Department (Code 33)&#148; item, paragraph 2), subparagraph a, entitled &#147;Functional Materials&#148;. ONR anticipates only grants will be issued for this effort. The submission of proposals, their evaluation and the placement of research grants will be carried out as described in that Broad Agency Announcement.
