IARPA-BAA-20-01 COVID-19 Seedling Research Topics Amendment No. 01 5/29/2020

The purpose of this Amendment 1 to IARPA-BAA-20-01 is to make the following changes to IARPA-BAA-20-01:

1) Add the time to the Proposal Due Date for Initial Round of Selections on page 3 of the BAA. Revise the language to read: Proposal Due Date for Initial Round of Selections: July 7, 2020, 11:59 PM EDT (Offerors may submit proposals any time after June 5, 2020 until the proposal due date for initial round of selections, July 7, 2020, 11:59 PM EDT.)

2) Add the time to the BAA Closing Date on page 3 of the BAA. Revise the language to read: BAA Closing Date: May 20, 2021, 11:59 PM EDT (A BAA amendment will be issued to announce subsequent rounds of selections, if any)

3) In BAA Section 5.1.1.A, Proposal Overview, please revise the Resource Share paragraph to read as follows (changes highlighted):

• Resource Share. Include the type of support, if any, the Offeror might request from the Government, such as facilities, equipment, materials, or any such resources the Offeror is willing to provide at no additional cost to the Government to support the research effort.

(Cost-sharing is not required from Offerors and is not an evaluation criterion but is encouraged where there is a reasonable probability of a potential commercial application related to the proposed research and development effort). Additionally, please provide the names of other federal, state or local agencies or other parties receiving the proposal and/or funding the proposed effort along with the proposal title or number, the BAA, RFP, Contract or Grant number, and the other organization’s point of contact. If none, so state. Concurrent submission of the proposal to other organizations will not prejudice its review but may impact IARPA’s decision to fund the effort.

4) All other parts of the BAA remain unchanged.
