## Additional Information Agency Name:Air Force Office of Scientific Research Description:This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) describes the research objectives of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) university Center of Excellence (COE) in Brain-Derived Neuromorphic Computing with Intelligent Materials, which addresses research objectives of the United States Space Force (USSF) and the United States Air Force (USAF).
A university COE is defined as a joint effort among Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Air Force Research Laboratory Technology Directorates (AFRL TDs), and an outstanding university or team of universities to perform high-priority collaborative research. This center is a joint project between AFOSR, the Information Directorate (AFRL/RI), and the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX).
This Center of Excellence is anticipated to extend the research interests of AFRL in the topical area of neuromorphic computing and provide opportunities for a new generation of US scientists and engineers to address United States Space Force (USSF) and United States Air Force (USAF) research needs.
This is a special FOA because it explicitly calls for (a) research in the high-priority Air Force interest areas of neuroscience, neuromorphic computing, and nanomaterials; and (b) education of students within the US in vital technology areas with opportunities for potential recruitment of US nationals for employment at AFRL. In conjunction with AFRL, AFOSR invites proposals for research in the areas described in detail below.
The schedule for this announcement is given in Section B, Federal Award Information. This research effort will consist of multidisciplinary teams of researchers with the skills needed to address the relevant research challenges necessary to meet the program’s goals. Multi-investigator teaming is encouraged.
Multi-university teams are allowed. Under no circumstances will the Government help to create teams. Link to Additional Information:[](https://www.

FA955026S0003 posted September 8 with full proposals due December 4, 2026 — but a five-page white paper is required by October 9, questions close September 17, and the PhD window admits degrees earned after April 1, 2019 only. At $450,000 over three years with no collaborators permitted, this is the most restrictive of the three service early-career programs and the only one with an LPS quantum carve-out.
Read articleAFOSR's open Broad Agency Announcement — the single front door to Air Force basic research funding — closed on March 23, 2026 for mandatory review under Executive Order 14332, and proposals submitted in its final week must be resubmitted to a replacement that has no posted date. Meanwhile NRL's Long Range BAA takes white papers only through September 30, and the Air Force's new $99 million command-and-control BAA runs to 2028 with a March 15, 2027 white paper date for FY28 money. A field guide to the rolling-solicitation channel while it is in flux.
Read articleTitle III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
