- Description
- Availability of Solicitation The solicitation for the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials is now available. The solicitation can be found at http://www.coe.faa.gov/ The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to establish an Air Transportation Center of Excellence (COE) for Advanced Materials. The goal of this endeavor is to create a cost sharing partnership of academia, industry, and government that will initially focus on advanced materials research. The purpose is to forge a union of public sector (FAA, airport authorities, state/local governments, etc.), private sector (airlines, manufacturers, etc.), and academic institutions to create a world-class consortium that will identify solutions for existing and anticipated advanced materials problems. The FAA expects that the COE shall perform basic research through engineering development and prototyping. To this end, the FAA is soliciting proposals from accredited institutions of higher education addressing the establishment of the aforementioned COE. The FAA intends to enter into cooperative agreements with the successful team members and thereafter award grants and delivery order contract(s) consisting of cost reimbursement, cost sharing, and/or fixed price. The FAA intends to invest between $300,000 and $500,000 in the first year and a minimum of $300,000 per year for the next two years of the COE. For more information on the FAA Centers of Excellence Program, contact Dr. Patricia Watts, FAA COE Program Director at patricia.watts@faa.gov. 10/21/03 Update: Questions and Answers regarding the Solicitation for the FAA Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials will be posted on the Centers of Excellence website site starting Monday, October 20, 2003.
