 The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Research directorate will conduct a Proposer’s Day webcast to provide information to potential proposers about the objectives of the Boosting Innovative GEOINT Research Broad Agency Announcement (BIG-R BAA) Topic Three, NGA Research Innovative Seedlings. The Proposer’s Day will be held via WebEx Events on May 21, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

Advance registration is required. Registration is open now and closes on May 14, 2021. Find registration details in the attached event flyer.

The goals of the Topic Three Proposer’s Day are to introduce the research community (proposers, academia, and government) to the NGA Research Directorate vision and goals; explain the mechanics and milestones of the BIG-R BAA; and provide insight into the technical areas of interest.

The BIG-R BAA Topic Three was published February 17, 2021. NGA will accept abstracts until 4:30 PM ET on July 31, 2021, and accept proposals until 4:30 PM ET on September 30, 2021. Abstracts and proposals may be submitted at any time until the associated due date. The BAA is available at https://beta.sam.gov/ and at http://www.grants.gov/. Following the event, NGA may post the presented materials as well as a frequently asked questions (FAQ) list.

To maximize the pool of innovative proposal concepts, NGA strongly encourages non‐traditional proposers (including small businesses, academic and research institutions, and first‐time government contractors) to participate in events such as this and any subsequent solicitation.
