Strategic Trends Division Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is seeking research proposals from public and private research institutions through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to develop strategic research products focused on characterizing the threat environment from 2025 to 2030. The agency aims to solicit studies, strategic dialogues, and tabletop exercises that address priorities from the 2018 National Defense Strategy, with a specific emphasis on Great Power Competition. Key research areas include analyzing strategic competitors' capabilities, emerging weapons of mass destruction threats, and approaches to countering potential international security challenges. White papers will be evaluated based on their operational relevance, timeliness, and potential benefit to the Strategic Trends Division's research objectives. Important submission deadlines have been staggered, with priority consideration given to white papers received by specific dates, such as May 12, 2021 for certain thrust areas.
The solicitation has no specific set-aside designations and is open to a wide range of research institutions including think tanks, universities, and industry organizations. While the total annual budget is approximately $1.95 million, individual awards will vary based on the scope and depth of proposed research. Principal investigators must be U.S. citizens, though research teams may include foreign nationals from allied countries. The place of performance is the United States, and projects can range from 9-12 months in duration, with some opportunities for multi-year initiatives. Awards will be made through grants or contracts, with the potential for up to three years of funding for recurring dialogues or exercises. Proposals must address weapons of mass destruction as a central topic and include detailed cost estimates, with the agency anticipating multiple awardees across different research thrust areas.
