- Description
- The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) manages the entire basic research investment of the US Air Force (USAF). As a part of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), AFOSR's technical experts foster support and fund research within the Air Force Research Laboratory, universities, and industry laboratories to ensure the transition of research results to support USAF needs. Using a carefully balanced research portfolio, research managers seek to create revolutionary scientific breakthroughs, enabling the Air Force and U.S. industry to produce world-class, militarily significant, and commercially valuable products. In Fiscal Year 2005, AFOSR managed funding support for approximately 1,400 grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts, totaling $424 million, to about 400 academic institutions and industrial firms. This included grants to university scientists and academic institutions, contracts for industry research, and cooperative agreements. In addition, AFOSR-managed research programs funded and awarded by the Department of Defense (DoD) and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for these programs can also be accessed through AFOSR?s web page at (http://www.afosr.af.mil). AFOSR encourages the sharing and transfer of technology and welcomes proposals that envision cooperation among two or more partners from academia, industry, and Air Force organizations. Non-industry proposers should spell out in their proposals their interactions with industry and Air Force organizations, including specific points of contact. AFOSR also encourages proposers to cooperate with or use Air Force facilities; proposers should contact appropriate directorates in the Air Force Research Laboratory for this purpose. This document will guide proposers through AFOSR's research program and facilitate their preparation of research proposals. AFOSR primary contacts? names, telephone numbers, mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses are provided at the end of each research interest, external program description, and special program description. If you have general questions about the Proposal Guidance, please contact Ms. Kathy Wetherell, AFOSR/PK, at (703) 696-9738, kathy.wetherell@afosr.af.mil. Anyone qualified to perform research is encouraged to contact AFOSR in accordance with the appropriate BAA point of contact and the guidelines given in this document.
