800 -- Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program Cost Sharing or Matching Requirement:No Original Closing Date for Applications:Oct 15, 2010 Current Closing Date for Applications:Oct 15, 2010 Archive Date:Nov 14, 2010 Estimated Total Program Funding: Eligible Applicants:Private institutions of higher education Public and State controlled institutions of higher education Additional Information on Eligibility: ## Additional Information Agency Name:Air Force Office of Scientific Research Description:AFOSR, in conjunction with the AFRL Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/RV) announces a program to promote and sustain university research and education focused on small satellites (nanosats) and related technologies.
The primary outcome of individual projects funded under this program is the design, fabrication and functional testing of a nanosat. Secondary objectives are to foster research in enabling technologies for nanosats and the design of experiments that can be performed by nanosats in orbit.
In a separate but related activity, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) will sponsor a competition to recognize a small number of nanosats that have displayed the ability for space launch and operation. AFOSR and AFRL/RV may invite one or more nanosat projects to submit a second proposal after the competition review.
AFOSR and AFRL/RV will evaluate the second proposals using the same evaluation criteria listed in this BAA and subject to availability of funds may choose to award an additional 2-years of funding to prepare the nanosats for possible launch. AFRL/RV will work actively with program participants to promote space-worthy design and fabrication and to prepare selected nanosats for launch.
For this program nanosat will be used to indicate satellites having a mass of no more than 50 kg and with linear dimensions of 50x50x60 cm or less. Link to Additional Information:[](https://www. grants.

Research Interests of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research is sponsored by Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). AFOSR solicits proposals for basic research in areas that offer significant benefits to national warfighting and peacekeeping capabilities, which can include research into information science and influence. AFOSR fosters, supports, and conducts research within Air Force, university, and industry laboratories.
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.
