Description: The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) seeks unclassified proposals from educational institutions in the United States for a University Center of Excellence in Multi-Fidelity Modeling of Combustion Instabilities. Proposals must not contain any proprietary information. This center is a joint project between the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate, Rocket Propulsion Division (AFRL/RQR). The center will extend the research capabilities of the Air Force Research Laboratory, and provide opportunities for a new generation of United States scientists and engineers to address the basic research needs of the Air Force.We will consider proposals for up to six (6) years consisting of three (3) two-year segments. The first two (2) years are the base period, followed by two (2) two-year options to continue performance. We anticipate not more than $700,000 per year in funding may be made available to fund one (1) award from the proposals received. This means you should plan on not more than $4,200,000 funding for the entire six year duration if all options are exercised; however, the total amount of funding and resources made available to fund a successful proposal may vary based on the quality of proposals received, and funds availability.We will evaluate proposals using peer review panels and the criteria specified in announcement section E.
