The
FAA hereby announces its continuing interest in receiving applications for
aviation research grants and cooperative agreements to pursue the long-term
growth and short-term technical needs of civil aviation, under this funding
opportunity. Eligibility of applicants for the award of an aviation
research grant varies depending on the nature of the proposer's
organization, as well as the character of the research being proposed. In
general, colleges, universities, and other non- profit research institutions
under Section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 of United States Code, are eligible to
apply for an aviation research grant.
The
FAA Aviation Research Grants Program encourages and supports innovative,
advanced research of potential benefit to the long-term growth of civil
aviation and commercial space transportation. The pursuit of basic and
applied research in scientific and engineering disciplines that have the
potential to further knowledge and understanding on a broad front of
emerging technologies is crucial to the realization of this goal. The
intent is to encourage applied
research
and development to enhance technology assimilation, transfer, and
development in the FAA. The FAA Aviation Research Grants Program does not
require the immediate application to Research and Development (R&D)
programs, although this may occur in some cases. The FAA encourages the
submission
of proposals that embrace the entire spectrum of physical, chemical,
biological, medical, psychological, mathematical, and engineering sciences.
The
following list illustrates topics of interest to those who may consider
applying for a grant under this funding opportunity:
1. Capacity
and Air Traffic Control Technology
2. Communications,
Navigation, and Surveillance
3. Aviation
Weather
4. Airports
5. Aircraft
Safety Technology
6. Human
Factors and Aviation Medicine
7. Systems
Science/Operations Research
8. Unmanned
Aircraft System (UAS) Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM), Class E Upper
Airspace Traffic Management (ETM), and Urban Air Mobility (UAM)
