This document is a summary of changes to the Army Research Office Broad Agency Announcement for Basic and Applied Scientific Research solicitation number W911NF-17-S-0002. The changes include modifying the eligibility requirements for the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) program to allow nominations from any proposals received rather than just Young Investigator Program proposals, and removing applicant capabilities and facilities as evaluation criteria. The Broad Agency Announcement sets forth research areas of interest to the Army Research Office and remains open through March 31, 2022 to fund basic and applied scientific research proposals from institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, foreign organizations, and for-profit businesses.

A technical program manager will make the PECASE nomination based on strong endorsement of the YIP proposal by the external scientific reviewers and on the potential shown by the individual to contribute to science and to the mission of the Army.
