Description
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) describes the research objectives of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) university Center of Excellence (COE) in Brain-Derived Neuromorphic Computing with Intelligent Materials, which addresses research objectives of the United States Space Force (USSF) and the United States Air Force (USAF). A university COE is defined as a joint effort among Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Air Force Research Laboratory Technology Directorates (AFRL TDs), and an outstanding university or team of universities to perform high-priority collaborative research. This center is a joint project between AFOSR, the Information Directorate (AFRL/RI), and the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX). This Center of Excellence is anticipated to extend the research interests of AFRL in the topical area of neuromorphic computing and provide opportunities for a new generation of US scientists and engineers to address United States Space Force (USSF) and United States Air Force (USAF) research needs. This is a special FOA because it explicitly calls for (a) research in the high-priority Air Force interest areas of neuroscience, neuromorphic computing, and nanomaterials; and (b) education of students within the US in vital technology areas with opportunities for potential recruitment of US nationals for employment at AFRL.In conjunction with AFRL, AFOSR invites proposals for research in the areas described in detail below. The schedule for this announcement is given in Section B, Federal Award Information. This research effort will consist of multidisciplinary teams of researchers with the skills needed to address the relevant research challenges necessary to meet the program’s goals. Multi-investigator teaming is encouraged. Multi-university teams are allowed. Under no circumstances will the Government help to create teams.
