E-MAIL: Harry Haraldsen, harry.haraldsen@afosr.af.mil. AFOSR Research Interest Brochure and Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) AFOSR 2000-1 The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) invites proposals for basic research in support of the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program. This program is described in the document entitled "Research Interests and Broad Agency Announcement 2000-1". This document will guide proposers through AFOSR's research program and facilitate their preparation of research proposals. It is available on the AFOSR web site at http://www.afosr.af.mil. A very limited number of hard copies will be available for individuals without access to the AFOSR web site. To request a hard copy, contact AFOSR/PI at (703) 696-9513. The general areas of interest are: (1) New World Vistas, e.g. science and technology needed to support six future Air Force capability areas: Global Awareness, Dynamic Planning and Execution Control, Global Mobility in War and Peace, Projection of Lethal and Sublethal Power, Space Operations, and People. (2) Aerospace and Materials Sciences; e.g., structural mechanics; mechanics of composite materials; unsteady aerodynamics and hypersonices; turbulence and rotating flows; combustion and diagnostics; space power and propulsion; metallic materials; ceramics and nonmetallic materials; organic matrix composites. (3) Physics and Electronics; e.g., plasma physics; space electronics; atomic and molecular physics; imaging physics; optoelectronic information processing: laser and optical physics; quantum electronic solids; semiconductor materials; and electromagnetic materials. (4) Chemistry and Life Sciences; e.g., polymer chemistry; surface science; theoretical chemistry; molecular dynamics; chronobiology and neural adaptation; perception and cognition; sensory systems; toxic biological interactions. (5) Mathematics and Space Sciences; e.g., dynamics and control; physical mathematics and applied analysis; computational mathematics; external aerodynamics and hypersonics; optimization and discrete mathematics; signals communication and surveillance; software and systems; artificial intelligence; electromagnetics; upper atmospheric physics and space sciences. (6) Researcher Assistance Programs; e.g., United States Air Force/National Research Council-Resident Research Associateships and National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship Program. Our overriding purpose in supporting this research is to advance the state-of-the-art in areas related to the technical problems the Air Force encounters in developing and maintaining a superior Air Force; in lowering the cost and improving the performance, maintainability, and supportability of Air Force weapon systems; and in creating and preventing technological surprise. All pertinent information, including contact persons, evaluation criteria, and details on specific areas of interest, is discussed in the AFOSR pamphlet entitled "RESEARCH INTERESTS AND BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT 2000-1". Before sending a proposal, inquire if someone at AFOSR is interested in your field of work. That person can also provide guidance for preparing a proposal before you begin to develop the proposal. Additional information and guidance on format and proposal submittal may be found in AFOSR Pamphlet 64-11, "Proposer's Guide to AFOSR's Research Programs". This pamphlet is also available on the AFOSR web site. See Numbered Note 26. Posted 06/16/99 (D-SN343546). (0167)
