This grant, the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program from NASA Headquarters, is for initial studies of innovative advanced concepts. Its purpose is to fund multiple visionary projects that investigate architectures, missions, or system concepts with the potential to significantly transform aeronautics or space exploration. This program specifically seeks proposals for very early-stage development (Technology Readiness Level 1-3), focusing on groundbreaking ideas that are 10+ years out, rather than incremental improvements or focused technology maturation. While encouraging ambitious leaps and accepting associated risks, all submissions must be technically credible and grounded in sound scientific principles. This NIAC Phase I study aims to foster truly revolutionary concepts for future space and aeronautics endeavors.

| Description: | National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters is releasing a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for initial studies of innovative advanced concepts. NNH11ZUA001N, entitled NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts, is available as of March 1, 2011, by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings �Solicitations� to �Open Solicitations.� This NRA solicits multiple studies, each of which will investigate an architecture, mission, or system concept that has the potential to change the possible in aeronautics or space. NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) is part of the Office of Chief Technologist (OCT). Concepts proposed for NIAC Phase I studies must be innovative and visionary, technically substantiated, and very early in development (10+ years out; Technology Readiness Level 1, 2, or early 3). Focused technology maturation and incremental improvement are explicitly not of interest in this program. Finally, while NIAC encourages great leaps and accepts the accompanying risk, all proposals must be technically credible, based on sound scientific principles. Proposals shall be submitted electronically, and all proposers shall use either NASA�s proposal data system, NSPIRES (http://nspires.nasaprs.com ) by March 29, 2011. Proposals will be due on or before May 2, 2011. Comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to the NIAC POC, Dr. Jay Falker at hq-niac@mail.nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered by e-mail and also included in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document located on the NSPIRES page associated with the solicitation; anonymity of persons/institutions who submit questions will be preserved. |
