Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA AFRL AFOSR 2017 0001
This funding opportunity is a U.S. Department of Defense research grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), issued in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Airman Systems Directorate (AFRL/RH). The Air Force is soliciting unclassified proposals from U.S. colleges and universities to establish a University Center of Excellence (UCoE) focused on Trusted Human-Machine Teaming. The basic intent is to build a long-term academic research center that strengthens AFRL research capacity while also training and developing the next generation of U.S. scientists and engineers who can address foundational Air Force research needs in how humans and machines work together reliably and effectively.
The opportunity is structured as a discretionary grant under the Science and Technology / Research and Development category (CFDA 12.800). Only higher education institutions are eligible to apply, including public/state-controlled universities and private universities within the United States. A key compliance requirement is that proposals must be unclassified and must not include proprietary information, which signals that the government expects the work and the proposal content to be shareable within the unclassified research environment and suitable for academic-style publication and collaboration.
The Air Force expects to make one award under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000. The project period can run up to five years total, organized as a three-year base period with a potential two-year option period. In practice, that structure typically means the initial award supports three years of planned research activity, with continuation into years four and five dependent on performance, ongoing relevance to Air Force needs, and the availability of funds, consistent with common federal option-year practices.
Overall, the grant is aimed at creating a sustained research hub rather than a short standalone project. The Center of Excellence model implies coordinated research themes, a multi-investigator and potentially multi-disciplinary team, and strong workforce development elements (such as graduate student support, mentoring, and building a pipeline of researchers). While the announcement text provided does not list specific technical subtopics, the title and description make clear that the core focus is improving the trustworthiness and effectiveness of human-machine teams in Air Force-relevant settings, advancing basic research that can later enable applied capabilities for AFRL.
Key administrative details from the posting include the funding opportunity title "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: Trusted Human-Machine Teaming," funding opportunity number "FOA AFRL AFOSR 2017 0001," creation date June 16, 2017, and an original closing date of August 18, 2017.Apply for FOA AFRL AFOSR 2017 0001
