If for any reason an application does not contain all of the required elements, it will not be reviewed. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of his or her application.
Proposed research relevant to the DoD. The research proposal should capture How well the proposal responds to one of the BAAs listed on the website under the DOD menu. Guidelines are provided below:
-
4 Page Proposal with work cited
- 3 Page Proposal Single line space
- 1 Page Max Cited Work
- Graphics and Charts may be included
- 12Pt. Times New Roman Font-a smaller font size may be used for cited work, charts and graphics
- Margins should be no less than 0.5
Applicants must find the BAA that list research areas that relate to your discipline/area of research (https://ndsegfellowships.org/dod). The Research Proposal should reflect your field of study as well as connect with one off the BAA’s.
In the application, there is a section where you will list the BAA number (not name of the BAA), and the name of the research area you select. Additionally, if you are interested in the international research area, that is okay. Generally, the rule is, if it’s listed under 1 of the BAAs, and it is an open and current BAA, applicants can write their proposal in that area.
Please list the BAA number. For example, N00014-18-S-B001, W911NF-17-S-0002-03. Sometimes this number is found on the cover page of the BAA or in the Footer. This number identifies which BAA announcement you are using. Under the announcements there are different projects or research areas with titles (i.e. Chemical Sciences, Energy Transport and Storage, Human Dimension and so on).
Please list the title of the research area your proposal will support. This is to ensure you are responding to one of the BAAs. Additionally, in the application is a field to incorporate a title for your proposal.
