Description
NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) has established a Strategic Implementation Plan that sets forth its long-term vision for aeronautical research. The Plan introduces six strategic research and technology thrusts that meet the needs of the aviation community for safe, efficient, flexible, and environmentally sustainable air transportation.
To realize this vision, ARMD seeks to incorporate more strategic partnerships with the academic community. Universities and colleges will have an opportunity to provide national leadership through planning and executing a multi-faceted research portfolio that aligns with ARMD’s strategic thrusts. This approach will complement ARMD’s ongoing university partnerships that focus on developing new solutions for individual research topics. ARMD seeks to apply this partnership strategy across the full range of its research and technology programs. Academic institutions will independently define the technical challenges needed to address the strategic research thrusts, and will then develop and implement novel approaches to meet those challenges.
By strategically collaborating with the nation’s leading universities, NASA will accelerate progress toward achieving high impact outcomes that enable continued US aviation leadership in a time of substantial aviation opportunity and risk. Universities are uniquely positioned to bring together the best and brightest minds from many disciplines and from a broad range of institutions and perspectives to help solve the most complex technical challenges associated with NASA’s strategic thrusts. Therefore, university leadership is essential to producing the graduates with the capability to lead the U.S. into the future. (FULL RFI ATTACHED)
