The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR)
is inviting
white papers from universities for a fiscal year 1995
competition for a new
Partnership
for Research Excellence
and Transition (PRET) Program. This
program is
designed to broaden the
university base in support of defense
research, strengthen the
university-industry cooperation, and improve the
US competitiveness in
areas of dual use. The goal of the program is to fund
quality research
and concurrently establish
and support a deliberate
exchange of scientific
manpower between academia and industry, i.e. faculty
and students
working at industry and/or industrial researchers working at
academia. Only
universities are invited to
submit. Funds will be awarded
through
AFOSR. It is anticipated that
this program will cover a period of
five (5) years beginning in FY 95. The
funding amount anticipated for FY 95
is
x\proxym{ately $3 million. Areas of interest along with technical points
of contact are: A. PRET for Metal/Composites
Manufacturing and Processing:
POC:
Captain Charles H.
Ward, AFOSR/NA, (202)
767-4960; B. PRET for
Advanced Electronics and
Opto-Electronics via Non-

the
Effects of Jet
Lag and Sleep Deprivation: POC: Dr.
Genevieve M. Haddad,
AFOSR/NL, (202) 767-5021. It is highly recommended
that potential proposers
contact
the above technical points of
contact to explore mutual interests
as
they develop their white papers. Details of these areas of interest
can
be found in
the brochure entitled,
''AFOSR Special Announcement For a
Partnership for
Research Excellence and Transition (PRET) Program, Fiscal
Year 1995''.
(Hereafter referred to
as the brochure.) White paper
evaluation and selection criteria will be: a) The
scientific and technical
merit
of the proposed research; b)
The potential contributions of the
proposed research
to the mission of the
Air Force; c) The proposed
interface between university and industry for the
purpose of transitioning
the
generated new knowledge
base, d) The qualification, capabilities,
experience and
past research accomplishments of the proposed principal
investigator, team
leader and key personnel who are critical to achieving
the objectives
of the proposal; e) The potential to contribute to the
education
of future scientists and engineers, f) Realism and reasonableness
of cost.
White papers must be received by AFOSR no later than 3:00 PM local
time on
21 October 1994 and will undergo a technical evaluation described
in the
brochure. White papers received
at AFOSR after this time and date
will
be late and
will not be considered. Full proposals will be invited

DEPARTMENT
OF DEFENSE
Infrastructure Support Program for Historically Black

Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI)
FY94
and FY95
* The full
Department of Defense Broad Agency Announcement, Infrastructure
Support Program for HBCUs and MIs, may be

the Office of Naval Research or the Air Force Office of Scientific
Research download files. The file name, if selecting ONR, is
ONRISP.TXT
or ONRISP.EXE, and if
selecting AFOSR, is AFRISP.TXT or AFRISP.EXE.
INTRODUCTION
The
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 authorized the
continuation
of programs which assist HBCU/MIs in building their capacity to
participate
in defense research activities. Earlier
legislation, P.L.
101-510, Section 832, (10 U.S.C. 2323(c)(3)) authorized
specific types of
assistance the Department may provide to enhance
programs and capabilities
at these institutions in scientific disciplines
critical to the national
security functions of the Department and to
increase the number of
underrepresented minority graduates in the fields
of science, engineering,
and mathematics.

Report
===============================================================================
This
solicitation represents three separate programs offered by the Army,
the
Navy, the Air Force, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA).
Congressionally
approved funds for the DoD Infrastructure Support Program
total $14.7
million in FY94, and $15 million is anticipated in FY95.
Approximately
$5.7 million will be applied to continue the education
programs initiated
at HBCUs and MIs in the earlier FY92/FY93 DoD
Infrastructure Support
Program. The remaining $24 million will be available
for new awards under
this announcement, which comprise three separate
program areas,
namely:
Research Consortium Program, sponsored by the Army Research
Office (ARO),
provides funding for two consortia in each of which a single
HBCU/MI will
form the "hub" of a structure which will include
other research and
educational organizations as satellite partners. The
latter will consist of
other HBCUs or MIs, majority universities,
industry, and Army laboratories.
Each consortium will be funded at an
annual level not to exceed $2 million
per year. A complete description of this program appears in Section
III.
Instrumentation Program, sponsored jointly by the Office of
Naval Research
(ONR) and the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA),
provides for the
acquisition of research and educational-use
instrumentation in the range of
$40,000 to $400,000. Emphasis is on instrumentation which will
enhance the
ability of HBCU/MIs to perform research which is of interest
to the
Department of Defense and to increase the number of
underrepresented
minority graduates in the fields of science, engineering,
and mathematics.
A complete description of this program appears in Section
IV.
Centers for Future Aerospace Science and Technology (FAST),
sponsored by the
Air Force Office of Scientific Research, provides for the
establishment of
several centers selected from the special topic areas
described in Section
V. This
program could provide support for up to six years and funding up
to $3.6
million over the six-year period.
