The fall funding cycle is open.

The Network’s funding program supports prototyping and validating research innovations with potential utility in defense applications and commercial market applications, otherwise known as Translation.

Proposals must be structured around achievable milestones at 3-, 6- or 12-month (maximum) timelines. Additional staged funding for future milestones should be considered when applying for funding, however, all subsequent funding stages are based on successful completion of the previous or active milestones and are competitively applied for and awarded in a subsequent funding cycle.

Your chosen project topic should align with the Network’s Modernization Platforms and include an AFRL co-PI. 

Modernization Platforms:

• Quantifying Performance in Extreme Environments

• Complex Systems and Modeling

• Edge Computing

For more information about the funding cycle, please review the Overview and Process Detail Document below. Please note, proposal submissions require a collaborator from AFRL. If you don’t already have an AFRL collaborator, please click below.
