UArizona may submit three white papers.

This is an Institutionally Coordinated solicitation. Internal institutional submissions have been selected. Contact RDS with questions

UCAH Notice of Intent deadline: October 13, 2021
UCAH White Paper submission deadline: October 20, 2021

UA may submit 1 White Paper for a Challenge Project. A maximum of 7 Principal Investigators is allowed per proposal.

The Joint Hypersonic Transition Office (JHTO), in partnership with Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and the UCAH, is soliciting competitive WPs/PPPs supporting hypersonic research and technology, per the defined Statement of Need (SON) in Section 2.1. JHTO reserves the right to fund none, some, or all of the submissions made in response to this RWP/RPP. Furthermore, JHTO may choose to fund a portion of a submission or a combination of submissions. Not all meritorious submissions will necessarily receive funding. TEES and JHTO will exercise their discretion in selecting submissions. TEES and the JHTO will provide no funding for direct reimbursement of WP/PPP development costs.

Estimated Project Ceiling:
Up to a three-year period of performance at $1,500,000 per year per Project Sub-Agreement (PSA). The JHTO reserves the right to approve projects that slightly exceed this level based on the technical strengths of the proposal and the reasonableness of the costs.

A maximum of 7 Principal Investigators is allowed per proposal.

7/19/21 UPDATE: Internal deadline is extended until July 20th at 11:59p.

7/13/21 UPDATE: The Joint Hypersonics Transition Office (JHTO) has determined in a second amendment to TEES/JHTO-RPP-2021-001 that in addition to the two white papers, universities may also submit one additional white paper to Topic 1 (Material Characterization of Metamaterials). This means that UA may submit two white papers to Topic 1 and one to another topic. If no UA white papers are for Topic 1 then we can submit a total of two.
