The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) released Broad Agency Announcement FA955025S0001 under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program, with approximately $200 million anticipated for basic research awards. AFOSR seeks proposals for fundamental scientific and engineering research with the potential to impact future U.S. Air Force and Space Force capabilities.
Two scientific branches manage topic areas: Engineering and Information Sciences (RTA) and Physical and Biological Sciences (RTB). The Engineering and Information Sciences branch encompasses two divisions: Engineering and Complex Systems (RTA1) and Information and Networks (RTA2). The Information and Networks division (RTA2) has outlined priority areas including autonomy, space situational awareness, and network security.
Within these areas, AFOSR is particularly interested in fundamental advances in machine learning, artificial intelligence, autonomous decision-making, and human-machine teaming. Research proposals are typically funded between $100,000 and $300,000 per year, with most awards running three years and maximum duration of five years. The BAA remains open until superseded, accepting proposals on a rolling basis.
This represents one of the Air Force's primary mechanisms for funding university and industry basic research in AI and autonomy.

Awards to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Experiences (ASSURE) is sponsored by Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) / Department of Defense (DoD). The ASSURE program supports undergraduate research in DoD-relevant disciplines to increase the number of high-quality undergraduate science and engineering majors pursuing advanced degrees in these fields.
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Young Investigator Research Program (YIP) awards approximately $150,000 per year for three years ($450,000 total) to outstanding early-career scientists and engineers at U.S. research institutions. The program supports fundamental research in AFOSR priority areas including artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, machine learning, cybersecurity, and information sciences. YIP awards are among the most prestigious early-career funding opportunities in defense research, recognizing researchers who show exceptional ability and promise for conducting basic research of military interest. The program aims to foster creative basic research in science and engineering, enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators, and increase opportunities for the young investigators to recognize the Air Force mission and related challenges in science and engineering.
EPAs SmartWay Transport Partnership and National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC) are announcing the availability of funding assistance to create finance programs, such as low cost leases or revolving loan programs, to achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions throughout the United States. The SmartWay Clean Diesel Finance Program is soliciting proposals for projects that reduce diesel emissions through the creation of national, tribal, regional, state or local finance program(s). Finance programs include, but are not limited to, those that provide the loan recipient a specific financial incentive (i.e., longer terms or lower rates) to purchase or lease eligible retrofitted vehicles or equipment. The proposed finance program should maximize the total project funds available for financing eligible diesel emission reduction solutions and be sustainable to maintain the program.
