The US Government supports basic and applied research across many disciplines using multiple funding agencies. This presentation will cover tools and processes used by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to fund basic research projects. Topics to be addressed include funding streams; Broad Agency Announcement, BAA; white papers; proposal submission and selection; funding timelines; program reviews; working with DoD laboratories; and communications all from the mindset of the program officer. A short list of “dos/don’ts” will be provided. While the focus is on AFOSR, the discussion will be relevant to working with other DoD funding agencies. The presentation will also include a very short overview of the AFRL, AFOSR, and the Organic Materials Chemistry program.
