About this opportunity

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) seeks to establish a University Center of Excellence (CoE) for "Data Assimilation (DA) Driven by Mathematical Features Representing Physics". The CoE will be a joint effort between multiple AFRL technical directorates, including the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Aerospace Systems Directorate, Space Vehicles Directorate, and Munitions Directorate, and an outstanding university or team of universities. The CoE will perform unclassified basic and applied research to address U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force research needs in the area of data assimilation, with a focus on high-speed flows and combustion. Universities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions, are eligible to submit proposals.

The FOA anticipates making at least one grant award of up to $1.2 million per year for up to 5 years, for a total of $6 million. The grant will consist of a 3-year basic period and a 2-year optional period. Key dates include a white paper due on April 8, 2024, and full proposal submissions due by invitation on May 28, 2024. The research will be funded under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800).

Synopsis

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) describes a newly proposed initiative of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) concerning standing up a University Center of Excellence (CoE) for "Data Assimilation (DA) Driven by Mathematical Features Representing Physics" with educational institutions in the United States. The University CoE is defined as a joint effort among multiple technical directorates (TDs) of the Air Force Research Laboratory to include: the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Aerospace Systems Directorate (RQ), Space Vehicles Directorate (RV), and Munitions Directorate (RW), referred to collectively as "we, our, or us," in this FOA, and an outstanding university or team of universities that will perform high priority unclassified and collaborative basic / applied (6.1/ 6.2) research which addresses the United States Air Force (USAF) and United States Space Force (USSF) research needs in the DA area with relevance to high-speed flows and combustion.
