SERDP is announcing two solicitations for FY 2010 funding: a Core Solicitation and a SERDP Exploratory Development (SEED) Solicitation. Because both government and private sector organizations may compete for SERDP funds, there are two announcements for each solicitation: (1) a Call For Proposals to the federal sector and (2) a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the private or non-federal sector. SERDP selects proposals for environmental research and development through a competitive multi-step process. Only proposals addressing the FY 2010 Statements of Need (SON) will be reviewed. To learn more about the FY 2010 SON topics and how to submit a proposal, review the links below.
