U.S. Air Force Funding

Overview of Topics Covered General structure (AFRL, AFOSR) Funding mechanisms Programs and program managers (PMs) Strategies to obtain funding Proposal content

General Structure: AFRL and AFOSR Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) AFOSR is usually the funding source (not AFRL), but the AFOSR Program Managers rely heavily on input from technical leads in the various AFRL Directorates http://afrl.dodlive.mil/about/

Funding Mechanisms Primary funding mechanisms sponsored by AFOSR Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) Educational Programs National Defense Science and Engine- ering Graduate Fellowship Program Summer Faculty Fellowship Program … and more! Special Programs Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) Young Investigator Award (YIP) University Research Initiative (URI) Programs Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI)

Funding Mechanisms Primary funding mechanism sponsored by AFRL Sub-contracts via government contractors (e.g. UES, Inc.) Technical lead at AFRL drafts/posts RFP with specific awardee in mind RFP is opened for competitive proposals Government contractor or third party then selects (no guarantee the intended awardee will be selected!)

AFOSR Programs and Program Managers

Strategies to Obtain AF Funding Learn about different AFOSR programs Request to attend program review Identify dates of reviews Have white paper prepared Contact PM Learn about the PM’s “portfolio” Send students to AFRL SOCHE student internship program Apply to Summer Faculty Fellowship Program Set up meetings during the summer Learn about existing needs

Proposal Content Depending on the proposal, should include: Strong case for fundamental-research need Specific objectives/tasks Clear research plan to achieve objectives Case for how the research ties in with USAF needs Good to know the PM’s current portfolio and her/his vision! Letter(s) of support from someone at AFRL Who can apply? See requirements for each funding opportunity e.g., must for U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident to apply for YIP award
