More about the LRBAAThe 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 DHS’ operational environments. S&T seeks R&D projects for revolutionary, evolving, and maturing technologies that demonstrate the potential for significant improvement in homeland security missions and operations. The LRBAA has not allocated a pre-defined level of funding. As such, the provision of funds is an important consideration when an otherwise promising proposal is evaluated. Funding through the LRBAA may be done as a contract, grant, or cooperative agreement. You will be notified of the type of funding your research project is eligible for when and if your white paper is encouraged for the submission of a full proposal.
