Opportunity Information: Apply for N00244 22 S NPS F001
The Department of Defense, through the Naval Supply Systems Command, is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Research Initiatives at the Naval Post Graduate School" (Funding Opportunity Number: N00244 22 S NPS F001). The program is structured to support a broad portfolio of science and technology research efforts associated with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). It is designed to encourage proposals that advance knowledge and capability through basic research, applied research, and certain early development activities, as long as those development efforts are not tied to building, procuring, or fielding a specific military system or piece of hardware.
A key point in this announcement is what it does and does not fund. On the "does" side, it targets research-oriented projects, meaning work that generates new understanding, new methods, or demonstrable advances that can inform future defense applications. This includes foundational investigations (basic research), problem-driven research aimed at practical outcomes (applied research), and limited development activities that remain upstream of acquiring a specific end item. On the "does not" side, the FOA explicitly states it is not meant to buy technical, engineering, or other support services. In other words, it is not intended for contractor-like staff augmentation, ongoing operational support, or general service-based assistance to the government; it is meant for genuine research and development work products and outcomes.
Awards under this opportunity may be made as either grants or cooperative agreements. The inclusion of cooperative agreements signals that, for some projects, the government may expect substantial involvement during performance (for example, collaboration, coordination, or iterative engagement with NPS or Navy stakeholders), whereas grants are typically used when the recipient can pursue the work with less direct federal involvement. The funding activity category is science and technology and other research and development, and the associated CFDA number is 12.300, which generally corresponds to military-related research and development assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to a set of organization types commonly involved in research: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations that hold IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities when listed separately). This indicates the opportunity is primarily aimed at academic and nonprofit research performers rather than commercial entities, although specific teaming or collaboration structures may still be possible depending on the solicitation terms and federal assistance rules.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on January 13, 2022, and originally closes on January 13, 2026, suggesting an open, multi-year announcement window during which proposals may be accepted according to the FOA's instructions. The listing notes an expected number of awards of about 30, which implies the program anticipates supporting multiple projects rather than making a single large award. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically means no single maximum is specified in the summary data and applicants should refer to the full announcement for any practical limits, budgeting expectations, or constraints tied to available funds, project scope, or negotiated award terms.
Overall, this FOA is best read as a research funding pathway connected to NPS priorities, focused on advancing science and technology through academic and nonprofit-led R&D. It is positioned for investigators proposing research deliverables (new findings, prototypes in a research sense, experiments, analyses, models, datasets, publications, or demonstrations) rather than proposals that resemble procurement of services or the build-out of a particular operational weapon system or hardware acquisition effort.Apply for N00244 22 S NPS F001
