Summary

The University Day opportunity is a solicitation aimed exclusively at U.S. universities, inviting them to propose innovative research projects that do not currently have a relationship with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The focus is on short-term seedling projects in specific research areas, particularly in weapon autonomy and control technology, as well as bioprincipic systems. This opportunity is ideal for academic institutions with expertise in these fields, particularly those capable of developing cutting-edge algorithms and systems for autonomous operations. Proposals must be submitted for one research area only, and selected offerors will be invited to a virtual pitch day to present their ideas. The anticipated funding for each project ranges from $75,000 to $100,000, with a total of 5-6 awards expected.
