This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Foundational Science Research Unit (FSRU) of the U. S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) solicits new proposals for its fiscal year 2024 program of basic research in behavioral science.
It is issued under the provisions
of paragraph 6. 102(d) (2) and 3 5. 016 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which provides for the acquisition of basic and applied research and that part of development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement through the competitive selection of proposals and 10 U.S.C.
