The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking applications for its Aviation Research Grants Program, which provides grants and cooperative agreements to colleges, universities, and non-profit research institutions under Section 501(c)(3) to support civil aviation research. The program encourages innovative, advanced research across a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines that have the potential to further knowledge and understanding of emerging aviation technologies. Key research areas include air traffic control, communications, aviation weather, airports, aircraft safety, human factors, and unmanned aircraft systems. Applications will be evaluated based on intrinsic value, relevance to the FAA mission, technical soundness, and research performance competence. White papers are recommended but optional, with multiple submission deadlines throughout each fiscal year.
The FAA has approximately $6 million available each fiscal year from 2021 to 2027 for this program, subject to appropriated funds. Award amounts can range from several thousand to several million dollars, with project durations of 12 to 60 months. Cost sharing is not required but may be a significant factor in funding decisions. Eligible applicants must submit their applications electronically through Grants.gov and register in the System for Award Management (SAM).
