AFOSR Event Reaches Out to Historically Black Colleges and Universities

Universities are expressing increased interest in learning how to do business with the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), a component of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). In response to this interest, last month the Basic Research Innovation and Collaboration Center (BRICC) hosted “AFOSR Engage: HBCU/MI and Special Programs.” This outreach event was to give Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) interested in working with AFRL a closer look at the AFRL Research Enterprise and an opportunity for researchers from those institutions to learn about funding, partnership, and career opportunities available through AFRL and AFOSR.

AFOSR Advances Science of Wound Healing Technology

The Air Force Research Laboratory’s cutting-edge research creates future warfighting technologies for the Air and Space Forces, protecting the lives of those that put themselves in harm’s way every day. Ground-breaking research into cellular reprogramming, made possible in part with funding from AFRL’s Air Force Office of Scientific Research, is leading to technology that could heal wounds more than five times faster than the human body can heal naturally, vastly improving long term health care outcomes for warfighters and veterans.

AFOSR Selects Special Topics for Bold Space Science Proposals

With the world’s eyes focusing on the challenges of space more than ever before, the space domain is of utmost importance for the United States to maintain economic, technological, political, and military leadership. In support of the United States Space Force’s (USSF) long-term goals and science research in space, the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFRL/AFOSR) held the Director’s Space Challenge, a competition for one-year grants to fund bold, high-risk, high-reward basic science proposals with significant potential to positively impact future military operations in space.
