This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) from the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) seeking white papers and proposals for basic and applied research to improve human performance and Army readiness. The research covers numerous topics in personnel assessment, talent management, leader development, technological fluency, and team dynamics. The notice describes a three-step process where potential offerors should first contact the technical point of contact, then submit a white paper, and finally a full proposal if invited. No specific budget amounts or location for performance are detailed in this description. Funding for projects will depend on budget cycle constraints and priorities.
