The Utah Clean Fuels and Vehicle Technology Grant and Loan Program

The Utah Division of Air Quality will be accepting applications for Clean Fuel projects until December 15, 2009. Eligibility for grants and loans are limited to projects for government vehicles and private sector business vehicles that meet the eligibility requirements set forth in R307-123, and for refueling equipment dispensing a clean fuel as provided for in Subsection 19-1-403-2(d) within the state of Utah. Applications postmarked on or before December 15, 2009 will be accepted for review. The Utah Clean Fuels and Vehicle Technology Grant and Loan Program, funded through the Clean Fuels and Vehicle Technology Fund, provides grants and loans to assist businesses and government entities in covering: the cost of converting a vehicle to operate on clean fuels; the incremental cost of purchasing an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) clean fuel vehicle; and the cost of retrofitting diesel vehicles with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency verified closed crankcase filtration devices, diesel oxidation catalysts, and/or diesel particulate filters.

DARPA Solicitations

Vulture II–During the Vulture Phase I program, DARPA identified innovative solutions that expanded the knowledge base and design capabilities for an uninterrupted five (5) year airborne payload-on-station system. This BAA for Vulture II seeks to advance the technology through development and flight demonstration. The Government expects solar powered – electric motor propulsion solutions, but will consider other approaches except radioactive energy sources or lighter-than-air configurations. Proposer(s) have the flexibility to develop a tailored program plan that best advances the Vulture II program goals as long as the program objectives are satisfied. Read more

Army Solicitation

Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Department of Defense Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative – For Proposal Submission to the Army– The MURI program supports basic science and/or engineering research at U.S. institutions of higher education  that is of potential interest to DoD. The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts that intersect more than one traditional science and engineering discipline to address issues of critical concern to the DoD. The FY 2010 MURI competition is for the 30 topics listed in the BAA. Innovative ideas addressing these research topics are highly encouraged. White papers and full proposals addressing the following topics (21) through (30) should be submitted to the Army Research Office (ARO): Read more

Air Force Solicitations

Advanced Development of Protection Technologies (ADePT)-- Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Manufacturing Technology Division(AFRL/RXPJ) solicits research proposals addressing development and demonstration of materials and techniques for the optical and structural hardening of Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and targeting sensors. The resulting programs will seek to mature previously developed concepts for application to component, subsystem or system level platforms. This announcement is an open-ended solicitation, meaning that it will describe the overall program scope but will solicit only smaller, more specific efforts using Calls.  Read more
