- Description
- The United States�Space Force (USSF)�is�establishing Space Strategic Technology Institutes (SSTIs) to address space science and technology (S&T) challenges�through a network of partnered universities.[1]�The USSF�goal�is for�the�SSTIs�to�facilitate�joint applied research�and focus it on transformational space domain technology breakthroughs and developments that lead to the advancement of capabilities that can be transitioned and integrated into current and�future USSF and�U.S. Government space capabilities.�It is highly desired�for the research to lead to testbeds, high fidelity modeling and simulations, demonstrations, and prototypes.�The�research�is�expected to transition technology to higher�technology readiness levels throughout the period of performance and out years will�be awarded based on an evaluation of this ability. The Advanced Space Power and Propulsion (ASPP) SSTI will comprise�a team�of at least three universities�(including the lead university).�The team�of universities in the ASPP�SSTI are�encouraged to collaborate with other institutions of higher education, for-profit entities (within the NAICS 541715), non-profit entities, state, local, and tribal government, and small business enterprise to address space research, development, and demonstration needs. USSF plans�to make the full�award to the lead university submitting the proposal. This research�institution will manage the research of any ASPP subtopics, such as those described in section C.�The lead institution is responsible�for distributing funds to team�member�institutions�via�subawards. At least 50% of SSTI awarded funds are required to go to the supporting institutions. It is�also�permissible�for�team�member institutions to issue further subawards.
