About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory is soliciting applications for grants and cooperative agreements funding basic research in Air Force-relevant scientific areas through the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800), with applications due by December 5, 2028.
Eligible applicants include private and public educational institutions, nonprofit organizations operated primarily for scientific, educational, or similar purposes in the public interest, and commercial concerns. Awards decisions result from competitive peer and scientific review. Recent representative awards in this program cluster in the $100,000–$400,000 range, with recent grants including "Magnetic Field Mediated Energy Transport and Conversion in Plasmas" ($815,547, June 2026), "Materials Correlations and Causations for Superconducting Quantum Microwave Performance" ($748,210, June 2026), and "Tensor-Network Quantum Circuits in a Configurable Atom Array" ($466,230, June 2026).
The program prioritizes research that maintains technological superiority in Air Force-relevant scientific areas, prevents technological surprise, and sustains research infrastructure across Air Force laboratories and affiliated institutions. Research focus areas span materials science, quantum systems, fluid dynamics, photonics, and computational methods aligned with Air Force modernization priorities. Recipients must comply with 2 CFR 200 and Department of Defense Grants and Agreements Regulations. Record-keeping requirements follow terms and conditions of individual awards and DoDGARs provisions. Applicants should contact the appropriate regional contracting office and consult individual program announcements on Grants.gov for proposal preparation instructions and specific research priorities.
