14. Section II.A.3.f.vii is revised to read as follows:
“Proposals should not exceed three pages in length and must be submitted through Grants.gov utilizing solicitation number W911NF-17-S-0002. Complete forms Standard Form (SF) 424, ARO Form 99 (clearly distinguishing high school students from undergraduates), and upload the proposal as an attachment. Please include the title of the research project, the grant number, and the specific number of HSAP and/or URAP opportunities requested on the first page of the proposal.”
15. Section II.A.3.f is revised to update the Technical Point of Contact for the High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP)/Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP).
16. The following Section II.A.4.c is removed from the announcement:
“Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions (HBCU/ MIs)
The Army has a long history of advocating and supporting research at HBCU/MIs. Through this BAA the ARO actively seeks proposals from the HBCU/MI community in full and open competition with all applicants. See 20 U.S.C. 1067q for HBCU/MI eligibility. Proposals may relate to any research topic described herein. In addition to single investigator research proposals, collaborative research proposals are also encouraged. Collaborations may be between HBCU/MIs and other institutions of higher education (not limited to HBCU/MIs) and/or partners. Also included are special emphasis programs such as STIR and the YIP, described in detail elsewhere in this announcement.
