Broad Agency Announcements | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Broad Agency Announcements A new way to fund your research at NSF The U.S. National Science Foundation has started issuing broad agency announcements, or BAAs, as a new form of funding opportunity.
By using BAAs, NSF is seeking to engage new communities of scientists and engineers, including those who may be working beyond institutions of higher education, such as in industry, nonprofits and other organizations. What is a broad agency announcement? A BAA is a type of funding opportunity used by NSF to invite proposals for research and education across science and engineering.
At NSF, BAAs are broad in their scope, focusing on advancing science and increasing knowledge instead of the development of specific products. NSF can choose to fund proposals as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts or other arrangements; each BAA will specify the award type and who can apply based on their organization. When NSF releases a new BAA, it appears on SAM.
gov . A BAA provides information on the funding opportunity and instructions on how to apply. Proposals submitted in response to a BAA undergo the same rigorous merit review process as other proposals to NSF.
