The NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) is soliciting revolutionary aeronautical and space concepts which could dramatically impact how NASA develops and conducts it's mission 10 to 40 years in the future. Development of the NIAC advanced concepts will be carried out through issuance of research grants or subcontracts in a two-phased approach. Phase I awards of approximately $50K-$75K will be for 6 months to validate the viability of the proposed concept and definition of major feasibility issues. Phase II award(s) of from $350K-$500K for a period of 18-24 months would study the major feasibility issues associated with cost, performance, development time and key technology issues. Both Phase I and Phase II awards will be competitively selected based on an independent peer review. Phase I Call for Proposals (CP) 99-03 was released on September 20, 1999 with a proposal due date of January 31, 2000.
