All responsible sources from academia, industry and the research community 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 HBCUs/MIs, small businesses or other socio-economic participation. All businesses, both small and large, are encouraged to submit proposals and compete for funding consideration.Federally Funded Research & 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 Offerors are allowed so long as such arrangements are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC.Navy laboratories, military universities and warfare centers as well as other Department of Defense and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this BAA and should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in one or more of the programs described herein, the organization should contact an appropriate ONR Technical POC to discuss its area of interest.University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) are eligible to submit proposals under this BAA unless precluded from doing so by their Department of Defense UARC contract.Teams are also encouraged and may submit proposals in any and all areas. However, Offerors must be willing to cooperate and exchange software, data and other information in an integrated program with other contractors, as well as with system integrators, selected by ONR. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

The ONR Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (N00014-25-S-B001) is the Office of Naval Research's primary mechanism for soliciting research proposals across all naval science and technology priority areas. The BAA accepts proposals on a rolling basis through September 30, 2026 and covers ONR's full spectrum of research interests with particular emphasis on AI-related topics including autonomous maritime systems, human-machine teaming, machine learning for sensor fusion, cooperative autonomous swarm technology, undersea autonomy, and AI-enabled decision superiority. Proposals can be funded through multiple mechanisms including individual investigator grants, the Young Investigator Program (~$510K over 3 years for early-career faculty), and Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) awards ($1.5M/year for 3-5 years for research teams). ONR recommends contacting relevant program officers before submitting to discuss alignment with current research priorities. The BAA supports basic research (6.1), applied research (6.2), and advanced technology development (6.3) across the full range of naval-relevant science and engineering disciplines.
Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA N00014-25-S-B001) is sponsored by Office of Naval Research (ONR). This BAA is ONR's primary solicitation for basic and applied research proposals in areas relevant to naval needs. ONR's AI priorities center on autonomous maritime systems, human-machine teaming, and machine learning for sensor fusion, including research in trustworthy AI.
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the corporate research laboratory for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, solicits white papers for basic and applied scientific research under BAA N00173-24-S-BA01. AI-related focus areas include data management and exploitation technologies that apply emerging mathematics and machine learning techniques, multi-agent systems and reinforcement learning, and AI/ML integrated with systems engineering across radar, antennas, and information systems. Additional priority areas include advanced materials and energy storage, spacecraft systems and propulsion, cybersecurity and cryptographic technologies, ocean acoustics and remote sensing, and virtual/mixed reality systems for training and situational awareness. NRL is distinct from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and funds research conducted at or in collaboration with NRL's own laboratories. White papers are evaluated on a rolling basis with selected proposers invited to submit full proposals.
