Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Private institutions of higher education
Additional Information on Eligibility: The individual award will be made to a U.S. institution of higher education where the principal investigator is employed on a full-time basis and holds a regular position. Researchers working at the Federally Funded Research and Development Centers and Government Laboratories will not be considered for the HEL MRI competition as the principal investigator, though they may be involved in subcontract awards. FFRDCS may be eligible in accordance with FAR 17.504(e), 35.017(a)(2) and DFARS 235.017. The principal investigator must be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident.

Grant Description: The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) manages the basic research investment for the U.S. Air Force (USAF). As a part of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), AFOSR's technical experts foster and fund research within the AFRL, universities, and industry laboratories to ensure the transition of research results to support USAF needs. Using a carefully balanced research portfolio, research managers seek to create revolutionary scientific breakthroughs enabling the Air Force and U.S. industry to produce world-class, militarily significant, and commercially valuable products.To accomplish this task, AFOSR, in conjunction with the High Energy Laser - Joint Technology Office (HEL-JTO) is soliciting proposals for the Fiscal Year 2010 High Energy Laser Multidisciplinary Research Initiative (MRI). Proposals will be considered in the topics of novel components for high energy lasers, ultra-short, ultra-intense pulse lasers and laser effects, laser interactions, and materials, devices, and techniques for high average power solid-state lasers. The details of these topics are described in Section I, Funding Opportunity Description. See the Full Announcement.AFOSR is seeking unclassified, fundamental research proposals that do not contain proprietary information. Additionally, proposals should have a potential to transition to applied research at the end of the MRI performance period.It is anticipated that the awards will be made in the form of grants. AFOSR reserves the right to select and fund for award all, some, or none of the proposals in response to this announcement.
