Defense Rapid Innovation Program
Abstract
From FY 2011 thru FY 2018, the RIF Program has been funded through Congressional Adds. RIF funds are distributed evenly between the Services (Army, Navy, and Air Force) and the other Defense agencies. RIF is executed via a competitive two-step process for participation in the program. Industry is invited to submit three-page white papers plus a quad chart through an annual Broad Agency Announcement. Once white papers have been reviewed, the highest ranking white papers are invited to submit full detailed proposals for funding consideration. In ranking white papers, preference will be given to projects focusing on the Research and Engineering top 10 research priorities, the National Defense Strategy, and small businesses. Full proposals are subject to final review and the highest ranking proposals are selected for contract award. The statute for RIF defines project scope as not to exceed 24 months and $3.000 million per project.
