Education and Employment for Technology Excellence in Aviation, Missiles and Space Consolidated Grants Announcement to colleges and universities funded by SMDC, PEO ASMD, AMRDEC, GMD JPO, and NASA MSFC: The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC), the Program Executive Office for Air, Space and Missile Defense (PEO ASMD), the Aviation and Missile, Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), the Ground-based Midcourse Defense Joint Program Office (GMD JPO), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), identified strong common technical interests that can best be advanced through consolidated grants to colleges and universities having exceptional expertise in or understanding of one or more of the technical areas as they relate to the missions of these agencies. The sponsoring organizations support research at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and minority institutions (MIs). We actively seek research proposals from HBCUs and MIs in full competition with all offerors who may submit proposals under this announcement. We also encourage the inclusion of HBCUs and MIs as part of a consortium proposal or as subgrantees to prime recipients for collaborative research. Proposals submitted should include new ideas and advanced and innovative concepts for current and emerging principles. The technology proposal categories are: Technology Area 1, SMART Systems Technology Area 2, High Energy Density Materials for Propulsion and Power Generation Technology Area 3, Application of Micro Electrical Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano-technology to Sensors, Advanced Materials, Propulsion and Structures To print a complete copy of this announcement, please see the Attachment titled Full Announcement or you may access the USASMDC website at http://www.smdc.army.mil/Contracts/Contracts.html by clicking-on Grants.
