On July 17, the Army Futures Command (AFC) released the Artificial Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C) broad agency announcement (BAA) for basic, applied, and advanced research. The BAA will be open until 12:00 p.m. Central on June 16.
The Army AI2C is seeking artificial intelligence research and development whitepapers and proposals in support of new technologies and translational research-based approaches that support the identification, alignment, and exploitation of basic, applied, and advanced research.
This BAA may be used to award FAR based instruments (e.g., procurement agreements) or instruments not subject to the FAR (e.g., grants, Cooperative Agreements, Technology Investment Agreements, and Other Transactions). Those instruments not subject to the FAR may be referred to as Assistance Agreements in this BAA. AI2C will consider a wide range of funding constructs which might include, but are not limited to, Government funding, cost sharing, in-kind labor or facility sharing by all parties, or any other allowable mechanism.
Applicants may propose cost sharing approaches, but they are not required. AI2C envisions opportunities to engage in other types of collaboration agreements where no funds are exchanged, such as Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) which are negotiated separately from this BAA.
