Award Procedure
Merit-based competitive procedures are utilized in accordance with notices of funding opportunities, such notices are typically called Program Announcements (PAs) or Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs). Proposals are evaluated by in-house committee and extramural review committees against the evaluation criteria listed in the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) or Program Announcement (PA). The final stage of evaluation is the establishment of an order of merit in which all competing proposals are ranked on the basis of their respective military relevance and scientific merit evaluations. Award amount will be negotiated with those proposals recommended for funding. Awards depend upon the availability of funds and the priority which the Air Force determines to exist at the time of award.
