S&T LRBAA | Homeland Security Innovation Funding Programs Long Range Broad Agency Announcement Long Range Broad Agency Announcement LRBAA 24-01 Announcement Is Now Open! View the 9 open topics under the LRBAA 24-01 Announcement .
The Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (LRBAA) is a standing, open invitation to the scientific and technical communities to fund pioneering research and development (R&D) projects in support of our nation’s security. Its purpose is to advance our scientific and technical knowledge and to apply such advances to the department’s operational environments.
To view the topic list in its entirety, visit the Current LRBAA Topics page. A traditional Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is fairly specific in its subject matter requirements. The LRBAA is not.
By design, it covers a wide range of subjects and provides flexibility in submission schedules. This enables S&T to contemplate proposals for original research that fall outside the scope of its more narrowly defined BAAs. To learn more about the LRBAA submission process and view the current topics please visit the LRBAA Portal.
S&T and Component programs may receive research concept material submissions through the LRBAA Portal . The portal contains current research topics, links to the LRBAA 24-01 Sam. gov announcement, and information on how to submit to a topic.
Prospective sources are strongly encouraged to read the entire announcement.
DHS S&T’s modernized LRBAA is earmarked by: Transparent, simplified announcement with more details Streamlined efficient submission procedures Notification of DHS interest in your research is typically within 10 business days Flexible communications including dialogue with topic program managers, a virtual pitch and submission of an optional video Businesses of all sizes, universities, national laboratories, and other R&D organizations (both domestic and international) can submit ideas through the LRBAA.
By aligning topics to the highest priority needs, the LRBAA provides a mechanism to focus the unique capabilities and expertise of our partner base on solving Component critical homeland security problems. Successful submissions to the LRBAA answer questions such as “What research problem do you propose to solve? How is your concept different from and superior to solutions currently available elsewhere?
What data and analysis do you have to support the contention that funding your R&D project will result in a significant increase in capability for DHS? ” The LRBAA does not allocate a pre-defined level of funding. As such, the provision of funds is an important consideration when an otherwise promising proposal is evaluated.
Products that are available to the commercial marketplace or support services of any kind cannot be contemplated or purchased through the LRBAA in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The LRBAA is expressly for original, state-of-the-art research or unique prototypes that require proof of concept. All submissions are peer reviewed.
