Description:
A--AFOSR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA 94-7) FOR AFOSR PARTNERSHIP FOR RESEARCH
EXCELLENCE AND TRANSITION (PRET) PROGRAM DUE 102194 POC
Contact Captain Ward, AFOSR/NA, (202) 767-4960, Dr Witt, AFOSR/NE, (202)
767-4931, Dr. Jacobs, AFOSR/NM, (202) 767-5027, Dr. Haddad, AFOSR/NL, (202)
767-5021 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- Stoichiometric
Semiconductor; Materials: POC: Dr. G. Witt, AFOSR/NE, (202) 767-4931; C.
PRET for Improved Air Vehicle Performance Using Robust Nonlinear Control:
POC: Dr. M. Jacobs, AFOSR/NM, (202) 767-5027; D. PRET for Reducing 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

based on the outcome of the review. All information on the preparation and
submission of proposals including technical and financial content can be
found in the brochure. Proposers are cautioned to follow the guidelines of
the brochure since any deviations from those guidelines may render the
proposal ineligible. Proposals are sought for research efforts in the range
of $500,000 to $750,000 per year with the potential for five year funding.
No further support should be expected. Copies of The Air Force Program In
Partnerships for Research Excellence and Transition (PRET) Announcement

Ref: Dept. of the Army, Army Research Office, 08/01/94
Description:
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Infrastructure Support Program for Historically Black Colleges and
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 downloaded by selecting either
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.

Procurement Notices 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.
