Undergraduate Students’’, appearing at

Section 3 of the FAA Research,

Authorization Act of 1997 (Public Law

105–155), authorizes the FAA to

establish a research grants program to

utilize primarily undergraduate and

technical colleges, including

Historically Black Colleges and

Universities and Hispanic Serving

Institutions, in research on subjects of

relevance to the FAA. The central

purpose of the FAA Aviation Research

Grants Program involving

undergraduate students is to encourage

the participation of undergraduate

students in proposed projects that

support innovative research of potential

benefit to the long-term growth of civil

aviation.

Research Areas

Areas that contribute to the FAA’s

mission of improving aviation safety,

capacity, efficiency, human factors, and

security, are as follows:

a. Capacity and Air Traffic Control

Technology;

b. Communications, Navigation, and

Surveillance;

c. Aviation Weather;

d. Airports;

e. Aircraft Safety Technology;

f. System Security Technology;

g. Human Factors and Aviation

medicine;

h. Environment and Energy;

i. Systems Science/Operations

Research; and

In addition, research on future

training requirements on projected

changes in regulatory requirements for

aircraft maintenance and power plant

licensees are highlighted in the recent

legislation. Detailed descriptions of

these programs and additional research

areas are contained in the program

solicitation.

Eligibility

Applications may be submitted by

two- and four-year colleges and

universities, including HBCUs, HSIs

and other minority institutions that

meet the following definition of

‘‘technical college’’ or ‘‘primarily

undergraduate’’ institutions:

1. Technical College is defined as an

institution that offers associate degree

programs in arts and science.

2. Primarily undergraduate

institutions are such institutions that

focus primarily on undergraduate

education. Included by the definition

are two- and four-year colleges, masterslevel institutions, and smaller doctoral

institutions that institution-wide did not

award a total of more than 20 doctoral

degrees during the past two academic

years in science and engineering fields

supported by the National Science

Foundation (NSF).

Proposal Submission

Guidelines for the application format

and content are contained in the

Solicitation. Every effort will be made to

reach a decision and inform the

applicant promptly. Unless and until an

award is made, the FAA is not

responsible for any costs incurred by the

proposing organization.
