Call summary
The US Department of Defense invites applications for its ice control for cold environments funding opportunity. This supports the development of solutions for Department of Defense (DoD) operational challenges in extreme cold weather by discovering and optimizing biologically sourced or inspired molecules to enable tuned inhibition or nucleation of ice crystallization, propagation, and adhesion. The best-performing molecules identified during the discovery phase will subsequently be formulated to develop novel materials with enhanced operational performance, tailored to mitigate extreme cold weather challenges for specific DoD applications, and tested against stakeholder needs and priorities. Multiple awards are anticipated. The amount of resources made available under this BAA will depend on the quality of the proposals received and the availability of funds.
Scientific scope
Materials Sciences; Military Technology; Army Operations; Cold, Arctic & Antarctic Regions
PI eligibility
Non-U.S. organizations and/or individuals may participate to the extent that such participants comply with any necessary non-disclosure agreements, security regulations, export control laws, and other governing statutes applicable under the circumstances.
