IC CAE grants are obtained through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) process, which occurs every 2-3 years. The IC CAE Program BAA will be posted on www.grants.gov during the first week of January 2017, with a response deadline of March 15, 2017.  Qualifying proposals are reviewed by a team of senior Intelligence Community practitioners that evaluate the proposals for their ability to deliver the required program components and their support of IC CAE Program goals.  Grants are awarded to the selected schools prior to September 30th of the BAA/grant selection year.
