QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Is there a page limit for White Paper submissions? If yes, what is the limit. I read the BAA and there is nothing mentioned concerning the length.

Response: Page 4, Section N. Application of Submission Process, Paragraph 1 of the BAA provides the following statement:

"Pre-proposals or "White Papers" are frequently desired by ONR Program Officers.

Offerors should consult the cognizant ONR Program Officer regarding the desirability of "White Paper" submissions. The various scientific divisions of ONR are identified at http://onr.nayy.mi1''

Please consult the cognizant ONRProgram Officer regarding the desirability of the White Paper submission.

2. Does the white paper need to provide budget numbers (per task, year)? We know from previous submissions that sometimes funding requests need to be addressed briefly.
