Project Selection ProcessProject Selection Process
3 Step Process:-Call for Proposals (October 1st – 30th):
At the start of the new fiscal year, a request for proposal is sent out to all the ARC partners.
- Project Ranking (November 1st – November 30th): The submitted projects are ranked by the TARDEC principals and other quad members for each thrust area based on technical merit and relevance to the TARDEC mission.
- Finalize Annual Plan (December 1st – January 1st): The ARC management team submits an annual program plan for approval by the ARC Government Technical Leaders, detailing a schedule of proposed project activities and forecasted expenditures. The Government Technical Leaders finalize the funded projects based on the project rankings, the overall TARDEC/Army mission and the available budget.
