DAF seeking science research partnerships with HBCUs
The Department of the Air Force is working with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to create the first University Affiliated Research Center led by a Historically Black College or University and is soliciting HBCUs with high-research activity ratings to apply. The new research center will be focused on tactical autonomy.
The DAF and Department of Defense have secured $12 million per year for five years to fund research, faculty and students.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities with a high-research activity rating in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education are eligible to compete for selection as the lead university. The lead university will be responsible for submitting a plan to create a consortium of other HBCUs to encourage collaboration and build depth for tactical autonomy research amongst other HBCUs.
