REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST
PROJECT TO BE INITIATED IN FY 2019
W912HZ-19-SOI-0028
Colorado Plateau
Project Title: Life Cycle Assessment of Nano-enabled Products and Devices for their Safe and Rapid Development
Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential investigators for studies to be sponsored by the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to provide research and evaluation expertise for assessing the Life Cycle Assessment of advanced materials and nanomaterials used in products and devices. The goal is to research the environmental footprint of the manufacturing process, streamline the manufacturing process for greater efficiency and to determine unknowns and reduce uncertainty of risk and liability assessment. The estimated level of funding is $300,000 for a multiple year research effort to begin in FY19 for 2 years (approximately 150K per year). Additional funds may be available in future years to the successful recipient.
Note: A proposed budget is NOT requested at this time.
Review of Statements Received: Based on a review of the Statements of Interest received, an investigator or investigators will be invited to prepare a full study proposal. Statements will be evaluated based on the investigator’s specific experience and capabilities in areas related to the study requirements. Additionally, the evaluation method and selection criteria for research and development awards must be: (1) The technical merits of the proposed research and development; and (2) Potential relationship of the proposed research and development to the public.
