The Federal Aviation Administration Research grants program awards short and long-term grants to fund research in specific areas that are crucial to the long-term technical growth of civil aviation.  By working cooperatively with our nation's leading universities and research organizations, the FAA will reap the maximum return on its overall investment in aviation research and development.  A FAA research grant can last from one to several years, depending on the scope of the project.  There is no limit on the awarded amount of an individual grant, however, the totals funds available for research grants may change from year to year.
