Opportunity Information: Apply for HM0476 18 BAA 0001
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Academic Research Program (NARP) is a Department of Defense grant opportunity run by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to fund academic-led research that can materially advance the U.S. geospatial intelligence mission. NGA is responsible for delivering timely, relevant, and accurate GEOINT in support of national security and also supports federal needs like disaster response. In this context, GEOINT refers to the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict the Earths physical features and geographically referenced activities. It spans imagery, imagery intelligence, and broader geospatial information, and it underpins products such as aeronautical, geodesy, hydrographic, imagery, geospatial, and topographical data.
NARP is centered on innovative, far-reaching basic and applied research across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, with an emphasis on high-payoff ideas that could enable major leaps in GEOINT-related capabilities. The program is designed to support research that improves the methods analysts use, expands or strengthens system capabilities, and helps the community better leverage shared resources to meet common goals. A key framing concept for the program is the National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG), described as the combined technology, systems, and organizations that gather, produce, distribute, and consume geospatial data and information. In practical terms, NARP-funded work is expected to contribute building blocks that can enhance the broader NSG ecosystem and, by extension, the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense missions that depend on it.
A notable feature of this opportunity is its focus on fundamental research solicited under a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). NGA signals that it intends to fund work that is generally publishable and broadly shareable within the scientific community, consistent with National Security Decision Directive 189 (NSDD-189), which distinguishes fundamental research from proprietary development or work whose results are typically restricted for national security or commercial reasons. Alongside the technical mission, the program also aims to strengthen education and workforce development in the scientific, mathematical, and engineering skills that are important for sustained progress in GEOINT.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM0476 18 BAA 0001) listed under CFDA 12.630 within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, with additional categories potentially allowed as clarified in the full announcement. The opportunity anticipated up to 14 awards, with a stated award ceiling of $3,000,000. The posting dates in the provided record indicate a creation date of March 27, 2018 and an original closing date of December 31, 2018, reflecting the specific cycle for that announcement. Overall, NARP is positioned as a vehicle for universities and nonprofit research organizations to propose and conduct path-breaking GEOINT research aligned with NGA, DoD, and Intelligence Community needs, while remaining grounded in the norms of publishable fundamental research.Apply for HM0476 18 BAA 0001
