The University Leadership Initiative (ULI) grant opportunity, posted by NASA Headquarters, is seeking research proposals from university teams in the field of aeronautics. The ULI provides the opportunity for university teams to exercise technical and organizational leadership by proposing unique technical challenges in aeronautics and applying innovative teaming strategies to strengthen research impact. The grant focuses on six ULI topic areas, including safe and efficient growth in global operations, innovation in commercial high-speed aircraft, ultra-efficient subsonic transports, safe, quiet, and affordable vertical lift air vehicles, in-time system-wide safety assurance, and assured autonomy for aviation transformation. The grant requires a two-step proposal submission and evaluation process, with a short mandatory Step-A proposal due on May 29, 2024. Highly rated Step-A proposals will be invited to submit a Step-B proposal. All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES.
