Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA AFRL AFOSR 2021 0009
The Department of Defense, Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE: Neuroscience of Decision Making" under Funding Opportunity Number FOA AFRL AFOSR 2021 0009. This solicitation falls within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area (CFDA 12.800) and is structured as a single, high-value award intended to establish or support a Center of Excellence focused on research at the intersection of neuroscience and decision making. The opportunity is positioned as a competitive research and development grant, with an anticipated total award amount capped at $5,000,000 and an expectation of making one award.
Eligibility is broadly open to responsible applicants from both academia and industry, with the posted eligible applicant categories explicitly including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. AFOSR also signals a strong interest in participation from small businesses, but clarifies that there is no set-aside or reserved portion of funding for any particular group, meaning proposals compete on their merits regardless of applicant type. A key limitation is that proposals from Federal Agencies will not be evaluated under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), and this restriction includes efforts where a federal agency would participate as a subcontractor or subrecipient. Federal entities that want to engage are directed to contact the primary points of contact for the relevant technical area to explore support through internal government funding mechanisms rather than through this open competition.
The timeline provided in the announcement includes a pre-proposal inquiry and questions window and a final proposal submission deadline. Pre-proposal inquiries and questions were required to be submitted by email no later than June 7, 2021 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, with AFOSR indicating that responses would be provided by email by June 21, 2021 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Full proposals had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, with a firm deadline of September 16, 2021 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity record lists a creation date of May 24, 2021, anchoring when the solicitation details were initially posted.
In practical terms, this funding call is aimed at supporting a concentrated, center-scale research effort in the neuroscience of decision making, likely involving multidisciplinary approaches consistent with a Center of Excellence model. While the notice excerpt provided focuses primarily on eligibility and submission logistics rather than technical research objectives or evaluation criteria, the structure and scale indicate AFOSR is seeking a comprehensive, coordinated program rather than a set of smaller independent awards, with selection resulting in one major award up to the stated ceiling.Apply for FOA AFRL AFOSR 2021 0009
