Project Grant FA95502210168

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory awarded a $388,390 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800). The grant funds the development of a Multimodal High-Speed Atomic Force Microscope System to support research activities under the program. The Defense Research Sciences Program aims to maintain Air Force technological superiority through scientific research relevant to its needs. The microscope system will allow researchers to visualize materials at the nanoscale and prevent technological surprise for adversaries. Performance is scheduled from March 15, 2022 through March 14, 2023. As the parent organization, the State of California will oversee administration and disbursement of grant funds to University of California Irvine.
