⚑ FAA Center of Excellence competition; details on eligibility and any institutional limits are not provided in the notice excerpt. · Cooperative agreement instrument. · Award ceiling $1,000,000.
This is an FAA applied-research center focused on technical training and human performance, which is outside IPPRA’s core survey/policy/risk lines in energy, weather, security, and education policy evaluation. The education-workforce topic is too broad and appears to be workforce training rather than the team’s school policy, public opinion, or hazard-communication programs.
