About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), is seeking grant applications for the Fiscal Year 2024 National Science Portal (NSP) program. The NSP aims to accelerate critical Department of Defense (DoD) scientific areas and build diverse STEM talent by supporting research capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges (HBCU/MSI/TCs). Key technical focus areas include Leveraging Quantum Computing to Explore Computational Challenges, Unique Advantages to Biologically Based Materials for Space, and Ferrimagnetic Electronics. White papers are due by June 10, 2024, and full proposals by July 26, 2024.
AFOSR anticipates making at least three awards ranging from $750,000 to $1,500,000 per year for a maximum of three years under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800). Research is expected to be conducted primarily at the recipient HBCU/MSI/TC institutions, with potential collaboration with non-MSI partners.
Synopsis
3 versions
Update #3 · Latest ·
The Basic Research National Science Portals (NSPs) seek to accelerate DoD critical scientific areas and flood the United States with diverse STEM talent by capitalizing on the demonstrated excellence of Historically Black Colleges and Universities/ Minority Serving Institutions/ Tribal Colleges (HBCU/MSI/TCs) and building their research capacity in critical research areas. The topic areas that we seek to support with this FOA are independent from those described in our open Broad Agency Announcement (Research Interests of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research) and do not fall completely within any one research program. We seek to support multidisciplinary research efforts, creating synergies to speed DoD-relevant research and development.
This FOA for the NSP is intended to (1) attract faculty and students to conduct cutting-edge basic research in the technical areas listed in Section 1, (2) build capacity needed to support this research and (3) attract students to pursue studies leading to STEM careers, including in government, the defense industry, and academia.
Update #2 ·
Amendment 01 to the Basic Research National Science Portal (NSP) Initiative FOA has been posted. Cumulative changes are highlighted in yellow. In summary, but not all inclusive, in Amendment 01 the following changes have been made: - Added webinar information and agenda (taking place on May 31) on page 2. - Updated FOA events schedule on pages 3-4. White Paper due June 10 and Proposals due July 26. - Updated Quantum Computing POCs on pages 11 and 49. - Added "(e)" under Objectives on page 11. -
