The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) is seeking proposals for its Fiscal Year 2025 Director's Research Initiative (DRI) focused on "Energy for Agility" research. This grant opportunity aims to fund discovery science across four key topic areas: Bio-Agile Energy Optimization, Time Materials/Time Interfaces (Metamaterials), Controlling Reactivity at Electrochemical Interfaces, and Collaborative Resource Sharing for Proliferated Space Architectures. The initiative is seeking innovative proposals that can advance energy generation, storage, distribution, and protection capabilities for future Air and Space Force operations. White papers are strongly encouraged by January 31, 2025, with full proposals due by April 1, 2025 through Grants.gov.
The AFOSR plans to make at least four awards ranging from $200,000 to $750,000 per year for up to three years, totaling $2.3 million in available funding for FY2025. The research will be primarily conducted at eligible U.S. and international academic and non-profit institutions, with special encouragement for proposals from South American institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority-Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges.
