About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration is soliciting cooperative agreement applications for the Center of Excellence for Technical Training and Human Performance with a due date of September 30, 2026, and matching funds required. Eligible applicants are public and private higher education institutions. The FAA evaluates all proposals against six equally weighted criteria established by Public Law 101-508: state and regional air transportation needs, research resources, leadership capability, established air transportation programs, research dissemination ability, and project quality. Geographic equity in location and funding of Centers of Excellence is mandated; depending on evaluation outcomes, geographic location may become an additional selection factor.
Awards are structured as multi-year cooperative agreements renewable throughout a 10-year term upon successful completion of each research phase. The FAA requires minimum six months for evaluation and selection following the application deadline and conducts onsite facility inspections of finalists. The program encourages long-term research in critical areas of aviation technology including catastrophic aircraft failure, airspace and airport planning, and related domains.
Technical and financial records must be retained for a minimum of three years following project completion. The FAA reserves the right to conduct annual audits and requires a comprehensive audit every five years. No-cost extensions are available upon request. Formal protests are not permitted; applicants may request a debriefing. The FAA Administrator serves as selecting official; the FAA Centers of Excellence Program Director at the William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey administers awards.
