This is a standing Army research announcement, not a typical small-business grant: it funds scientific study and exploratory development in areas like combat feeding, soldier protection, human performance, and training technology, and it explicitly does not fund specific systems or hardware. It fits research-capable organizations — universities, nonprofit research institutes, and commercial firms including small businesses. If your business is not doing R&D in one of the listed technical areas,
