Leading the Way in Aviation Progress
Friday, November 22, 2024The FAA mission is to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace in the United States; to regulate air commerce in such a manner as to best promote its development and safety; to promote a common system of air traffic control and navigation for both military and civil aircraft; and to promote, encourage, and develop civil aeronautics.
The FAA Aviation Research Grants Program is one means by which the FAA supports this mission. Research grants and cooperative agreements, which range from several thousand to several million dollars, support aviation-related research in topics with the potential to gain further knowledge in emerging aviation technologies.
Aviation is an ever-evolving blend of science, innovation, art, and creativity. From the first recorded flights over Kitty Hawk to the development of the first jet engines, to the design of today's sophisticated navigational systems, aviation innovation has repeatedly broken through existing boundaries to open new areas of thought and progress.
As the next millennium approaches, we begin a period in civil aviation that is every bit as bold and limitless as the era during which the pioneers of aviation developed the first civil aircraft nearly 100 years ago. By continuing to look toward the future, the United States can maintain its historical role as global leader in civil aviation, an industry that will continue to be crucially important for the long-term economic growth and vitality of the country.
It is in this spirit of fostering ever-increasing excellence in civil aviation that the FAA initiated its Aviation Research Grants Program.
How the Aviation Research Grants Program Works
Who can receive an Aviation Research Grant?
All colleges, universities, and legally incorporated nonprofit research institutions qualify for research grants and cooperative agreements. Individuals are ineligible.
Grant Research
FAA-funded research may use any scientific methodology deemed appropriate by the grantee. It is not required that individual proposals be linked to the immediate application of research to current FAA research, engineering, and development (RE&D) projects. Rather, the evaluation criteria for grant and cooperative agreement proposals will include the potential application of research results to the FAA's long-term goals for civil aviation technology.
Grant Funding
Nearly all FAA research grants and cooperative agreements are funded out of the project funds of the FAA's individual RE&D programs. Proposals must be approved and recommended by the RE&D program managers if they are to be funded. For this reason, it is to the benefit of the grant-seeking organization to make contact with the appropriate FAA RE&D Program Manager to discuss research plans and goals before preparing an official grant proposal.
Savings
The FAA also encourages cost sharing where both the FAA Program Office and the grantee provide a portion of the financial assets needed to fund the research projects, resulting in both reaping the benefits of the results.
