The program has many partners and stakeholders including aviation professionals, researchers, manufacturers, airlines, airports, airport communities, federal agencies, environmental non-governmental organizations, foreign governments and international organizations. The program benefits from these varied partners by ensuring that the Environment & Energy (E&E) Research and Development (R&D) Portfolio is well-balanced, relevant, non-duplicative, and addresses the needs of a broad range of stakeholders. These partnerships include, but are not limited to following:

Domestic Partners

• ACRP - The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) is an industry-driven, applied research program that develops near-term, practical solutions to airport challenges. ACRP is authorized by Congress, sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration, and managed by the Transportation Research Board (TRB).
• ASCENT - The Aviation Sustainability Center is the FAA’s Center of Excellence (COE) for Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment. ASCENT works to create science-based solutions for the aviation industry’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of aviation. The center includes 16 universities, 4 affiliate universities, 14 Federal Partners and non-profit research institutes, and more than 70 industry partners.
• BR&D – The Biomass Research and Development Board is an interagency collaborative co-chaired by U.S. Department of Agriculture and Department of Energy and tasked with implementing the federal Bioeconomy Initiative, enables focused federal agency coordination on SAF via an Advanced Aviation Fuels Interagency Working Group (AAF IWG).
• CAAFI® - The Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative® is a forum for exchange and coordination among government, academic and aviation industry stakeholders to address challenges and engage with the emerging sustainable aviation fuels industry.
• CLEEN – The Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions, and Noise Program is a cost-sharing program with Industry that aims to develop and expedite the introduction of environmentally promising aircraft technologies and sustainable alternative fuels that reduce aircraft noise, emissions, and fuel burn.
• FICAN – The Federal Interagency Committee on Aviation Noise scope is to provide the necessary technical forum for participating agencies to coordinate on aviation noise R&D. The committee includes the Department of Defense (DOD – Air force, Army, and Navy), the Department of the Interior (DOI, represented by the National Park Service), the Department of Transportation (DOT, represented by the Federal Aviation Administration), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
• U.S. Federal Agencies – The E&E R&D program also directly coordinates activities with many Federal agencies through a variety of activities and projects.  In addition to the agencies already mentioned before, the program also collaborates with the National Institute of Health (NIH), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 

International Partners

• DLR – The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V.)  is the national center for aerospace, energy and transportation research of Germany. The main objectives of DLR’s aeronautics research are to avoid the emission of pollutants from aircraft, to reduce aircraft noise, to develop uncrewed flight systems and to digitalize the aviation industry.
• EASA – The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is responsible for ensuring safety and environmental protection in air transport in Europe. It carries out certification, regulation, standardization, and also performs investigation and monitoring. It collects and analyzes data, drafts and advises on safety legislation and coordinates with similar organizations in other parts of the world. 
• GARDN – The Green Aviation Research and Development Network (GARDN) was a non-profit organization created in 2009 with funding from the Business-Led Network of Centres of Excellence (BL-NCE) of the federal government and Canadian aerospace industry. Its mission was to help support and increase Canada’s competitiveness in the aerospace industry by reducing the environmental footprint of the next generation of aircraft, engines and avionics systems developed in the country.
• ICAO CAEP – The International Civil Aviation Organization’s Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection is a technical committee of the ICAO Council and is tasked to assists the Council in formulating new policies and adopting new Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) related to aircraft noise and emissions, and more generally to aviation environmental impact.
• Swiss FOCA – The Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation is the Swiss civil aviation agency and is a division of the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications. The office strives for a high level of safety and sustainable development in Swiss civil aviation.
