However, AFRL/RW will consider all U.S. Universities’ proposals. AFRL/RW intends to award short-term seedling projects in two research areas. Offerors shall propose against ONE research area topic only. Only those Offerors who meet the highly selectable and/or selectable categories will be invited to the virtual pitch day. The Government is anticipating Distribution A (Publicly releasable) classification for this call; proposals with other classification levels must be marked appropriately.
