About this opportunity
The University Leadership Initiative is a cooperative agreement opportunity offered through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Headquarters. It seeks research proposals from university teams across six topic areas related to aeronautics. Proposals must be submitted through NSPIRES in a two-step process, with Step-A proposals due May 29, 2024. Those with the highest rated initial proposals will be invited to submit Step-B proposals, which will be evaluated based on technical and organizational leadership as well as peer review mechanisms and teaming strategies. An applicant workshop will be held on April 3, 2024 and interested partners should contact NASA.
Potential awardees are expected to exercise leadership in defining technical challenges and multi-disciplinary solutions for strengthening aeronautics research impact. While award values and places of performance are not specified, the program is assigned to NASA's Aeronautics research mission which provides world-class aeronautical engineering capabilities and core research areas to support advances in this field.
Synopsis
Amendment 2 to the NASA ARMD Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) 2024 NRA has been posted on the NSPIRES web site. University Leadership Initiative (ULI) provides the opportunity for university teams to exercise technical and organizational leadership in proposing unique technical challenges in aeronautics, defining multi-disciplinary solutions, establishing peer review mechanisms, and applying innovative teaming strategies to strengthen the research impact.
Research proposals are sought in six ULI topic areas in Appendix D.4.
Topic 1: Safe, Efficient Growth in Global Operations (Strategic Thrust 1)
Topic 2: Innovation in Commercial High-Speed Aircraft (Strategic Thrust 2)
Topic 3: Ultra-Efficient Subsonic Transports (Strategic Thrust 3)
Topic 4: Safe, Quiet, and Affordable Vertical Lift Air Vehicles (Strategic Thrust 4)
Topic 5: In-Time System-Wide Safety Assurance (Strategic Thrust 5)
Topic 6: Assured Autonomy for Aviation Transformation (Strategic Thrust 6)
This NRA will utilize a two-step proposal submission and evaluation process. The initial step is a short mandatory Step-A proposal due May 29, 2024. Those offerors submitting the most highly rated Step-A proposals will be invited to submit a Step-B proposal. All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES at https://nspires.nasaprs.com.
An Applicant's Workshop will be held on Thursday Apr 3, 2024; 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET (https://uli.arc.nasa.gov/applicants-workshops/workshop8).
An interested partners list for this ULI is at https://uli.arc.nasa.gov/partners. To be listed as an interested lead or partner, please send electronic mail to hq-univpartnerships@mail.nasa.gov with "ULI Partnerships" in the subject line and include the information required for the table in that web page.
