E.2 Leading Edge Aeronautics Research for NASA (LEARN) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The E.2 Leading Edge Aeronautics Research for NASA (LEARN) opportunity is a topic area released under Amendment 2 of NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) Research Opportunities in Aeronautics (ROA) 2013, issued as a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) and posted through NSPIRES. It is positioned as foundational research support for ARMDs Innovative Concepts for Aviation Project, with the specific intent of building and advancing a coordinated research effort under the LEARN umbrella. In practical terms, NASA is asking research performers to join LEARN as participating members and to propose forward-looking aeronautics research that helps address major technical challenges important to the nations aeronautics future.

A defining feature of this call is its emphasis on multi-institutional, team-based proposals rather than single-investigator efforts. NASA is signaling that the problems it wants tackled are broad and complex enough to benefit from collaboration across universities, research institutes, industry partners, or other organizations. Proposals are expected to be both innovative and broadly based, meaning they should not be narrowly incremental or focused on a small niche. Instead, NASA is looking for work that can move the needle on strategically important aeronautics challenges and that has a credible line of sight to national aeronautics needs, such as enabling future air transportation concepts, improving safety and efficiency, reducing environmental impact, or supporting transformative aircraft and operational ideas. The solicitation language stresses clear articulation of the research topic and its strategic relevance, so a strong proposal would typically make the case for why the chosen technical problem matters, why a team approach is necessary, what new knowledge or capability will be produced, and how that outcome supports NASA and national priorities.

From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NNH13ZEA001N and is categorized as discretionary funding. The funding instruments listed are cooperative agreements and grants, which generally indicates NASA may either provide traditional grant support or choose a cooperative agreement structure when substantial NASA involvement is expected during performance. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA number is 43.002 (Aeronautics). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the barrier for participation, especially for academic teams or organizations that may not have discretionary funds to contribute.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted and created on July 2, 2013, with an original and current proposal closing date of July 30, 2013, and an archive date of August 29, 2013. The timeline also includes a Notice of Intent (NOI) deadline of June 14, 2013, which is a common NASA step used to help plan reviewer workload and understand the anticipated proposal pool, even when the NOI itself is not a binding commitment.

For access and support, NASA directs applicants to the full announcement on NSPIRES. If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Susan Minor at roa@nasa.gov, and NSPIRES/NAIS technical support is available via nais.support@nasa.gov.
