Supports research, development, and standardization of advanced materials and composites for commercial aircraft through academic-industry-government collaboration.

Only member universities of the Center of Excellence (COE) are eligible to apply.

--- ## Description This opportunity, offered by the FAA Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials (JAMS), funds research to ensure the safe and reliable application of composites and advanced materials in commercial aircraft. The program is a joint initiative between the Center of Excellence for Composite and Advanced Materials (CECAM) at Wichita State University and the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials in Transport Aircraft Structures (AMTAS) at the University of Washington. The Center leads international efforts in research, development, and standardization for advanced material structures. The program aims to foster a cost-sharing partnership among academia, industry, and government to address current and emerging challenges in advanced materials and structures. In addition to research, the Center plays a significant role in technology transfer, training, and continuing education for the aviation industry and regulators. **Research areas include:** - Damage tolerance of advanced composite structures - Durability of adhesively bonded joints (composite and hybrid) - Metal and non-metal based additive manufacturing technologies - Crashworthiness of composite airframes and seating systems - Environmental and aging effects on in-service composite structures - Lightning strikes on composite airframes - New material systems and innovative production technologies - Maintenance and inspection of composite structures --- ## Due Dates - The application closing date is to be determined by the agency. Interested applicants should monitor the [official opportunity page](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/39841) for updates. --- ## Funding Amount - **Award Ceiling:** $20,000,000 - **Award Floor:** $0 - **Cost Sharing:** Required - **Estimated Total Program Funding:** Not specified - **Number of Awards:** Not specified --- ## Eligibility - **Eligible Applicants:** Only member universities of the FAA Center of Excellence (COE) are eligible to apply. - **Other Requirements:** Cost-sharing or matching is required. --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted through [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/39841). - The application package and further instructions will be available on the opportunity page. - For technical or access issues, contact the program manager (see Contact Information below). --- ## Additional Information - The Center of Excellence model emphasizes collaboration between academia, industry, and government. - Projects should focus on research, engineering, and development to support safety and certification of advanced materials in aviation. - The Center also supports technology transfer, workforce training, and continuing education.
