Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) describes a newly proposed initiative of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) concerning the University Center of Excellence (COE) in “Extreme Neuromorphic Materials and Computing.” The 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 team to perform high-priority collaborative research which addresses research objectives of the United States Air Force (USAF) and the United States Space Force (USSF). The proposed COE is a joint project between AFOSR, AFRL Information Directorate (AFRL/RI), and AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX).AFOSR anticipates making at least one grant award of up to $1,000,000 per year per award, for a maximum of five years. The base period is for three years, which a consortium of AFOSR, AFRL/RI, and AFRL/RX intends to incrementally fund, followed by an option to extend an additional two years provided the COE passes a midterm review. All funding decisions are at the Government’s discretion and are subject to the availability of funds.
