Opportunity Summary:
The FAA Aviation Research and Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 12 01) is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It supports civil aviation research through grants and cooperative agreements aimed at addressing both near-term technical challenges and longer-term growth needs across the national aviation system. In practical terms, the FAA is looking for research proposals that can strengthen or modernize aviation capabilities, improve safety and performance, and help the civil aviation sector evolve in response to emerging demands and technologies.
This opportunity is classified under the Transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.108 (Aviation Research Grants). The funding instrument type listed is a grant, and the program description also notes the use of cooperative agreements, which typically indicates that the FAA may expect more substantial federal involvement in certain projects compared to a standard grant (for example, ongoing collaboration, technical input, or coordinated project oversight). The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $5,000,000 per award. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants are not obligated to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants may still choose to contribute resources if it strengthens the proposal.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. This eligibility scope indicates the program is geared toward academic and nonprofit research performers with the capacity to conduct technical studies, develop prototypes or methods, and produce research outputs that can feed into FAA decision-making, standards, and future aviation initiatives.
The opportunity was originally posted on January 1, 2012, with a listed original closing date of December 31, 2019, and a current closing date also shown as December 31, 2019. The archive date is January 30, 2020, which generally indicates the solicitation is no longer active and is maintained for record-keeping rather than accepting new submissions.
