About this opportunity
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research is soliciting applications for basic research funding under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program with rolling proposal submissions accepted at any time and approximately $200 million in total anticipated funding. The announcement encompasses research across Engineering and Information Science (RTA), Physical and Biological Sciences (RTB), and international offices (EAORD, SOARD, AOARD), with 27 specific program portfolios spanning aerodynamic sciences, quantum information sciences, cybersecurity, materials for extreme environments, and propulsion and power systems.
Eligible applicants include universities, nonprofit research organizations, and commercial entities. Individual awards typically range from $100,000 to $300,000 annually for three-year periods, with proposals permitted for up to five years; AFOSR will not consider requests exceeding $10 million. Historical award values range from $21,800 to $1,973,263 for individual project grants, with MURI awards reaching $1,500,000 to $1,800,000 for five-year periods. Research performance occurs primarily at recipient institutions nationwide with potential collaboration at AFRL facilities.
Proposals must contain unclassified content without proprietary information and be submitted through Grants.gov. Selection is based on competitive peer and scientific review. Awardees are subject to 2 CFR 200, Department of Defense Grants and Agreements Regulations, and AFRL-specific award terms and conditions, including mandatory electronic funds transfer through SAM, Research Performance Progress Report submissions, final financial reports due 90 calendar days after the reporting period, NIST SP 800-171 security standards compliance for covered defense information, and prohibitions on food, beverage, and alcoholic expenses.
Program officers across all research areas are available for pre-proposal consultations and strongly encourage prospective researchers to contact them prior to full proposal development. Contact Jennifer Brown, Contract Specialist, at afosr.baa@us.af.mil.

Synopsis
AFOSR plans, coordinates, and executes the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) basic research program in response to technical guidance from AFRL and requirements of the Air Force. Additionally, the office fosters, supports, and conducts research within Air Force, university, and industry laboratories; and ensures transition of research results to support U.S. Air Force needs. The focus of AFOSR is on research areas that offer significant and comprehensive benefits to our national war fighting and peacekeeping capabilities. These areas are organized and managed in two scientific Departments: Engineering and Information Science (RTA), Physical and Biological Sciences (RTB), and our international offices (EAORD, SOARD, and AOARD). The research activities managed within each Department are summarized in this section.
