Description

Amendment 1 to the NASA ARMD Research Opportunities in Aeronautics – 2018 (ROA-2018) NRA has been posted on the NSPIRES site. Research proposals are sought in seven topic areas for Appendix D.4 in support of University Leadership Initiative (ULI). ULI provides the opportunity for university teams to exercise technical and organizational leadership in proposing unique technical challenges, defining interdisciplinary solutions, establishing peer review mechanisms, and applying innovative teaming strategies to strengthen the research impact. By addressing the most complex challenges associated with ARMD strategic thrusts, universities will accelerate progress toward achievement of high impact outcomes while leveraging their capability to bring together the best and brightest minds across many disciplines. In order to transition their research, Principal Investigators are expected to actively explore transition opportunities and pursue follow-on funding from stakeholders and industrial partners during the course of the award. An Applicant’s Workshop will be held on Wednesday April 4, 2018 from 12:30-3:00 ET (https://ac.arc.nasa.gov/ppbriefing/ and sign in as a “Guest” using your full name). This NRA will use a 2-step proposal process. Step-A proposals are required, in place of the NOI, and are due May 16, 2018.
