Availability of Solicitation for Center of Excellence (COE) in Airworthiness Assurance

摘要

The FAA is soliciting competitive proposals from academic institutions to form an airworthiness assurance Center of Excellence (COE). A COE is that entity at a college or university designated as the principal focus for long-term research in selected areas of aviation technology. Centers of Excellence are designated through an evaluation and award procedure established pursuant to Title IX of Public Law 101-508, the FAA Research Engineering and Development Authorization Act of 1990. The FAA will provide long-term funding to establish and operate the COE in support of airworthiness assurance. The grant recipient is required to match FAA funds with non-Federal funding over the term of the grant.
