FAA Issues the Final Solicitation for the COE for Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment (AJF&E) With a Closing Date of Wednesday, March 20.

Upon completion of the competitive process, the FAA will enter into cooperative agreements with core university members and award matching grants to establish, operate and conduct research on alternative jet fuels and environmental matters.


Each university team preparing to submit a proposal in response to this Final Solicitation
must submit a Letter of Intent to Patricia.Watts@faa.gov. This letter must list members
and affiliates joining the team and be submitted by the university proposing to serve as
the COE lead by noon on Wednesday, February 20, 2013.

The FAA Administrator has concurred with the request to establish this new COE at the
annual base funding level, pending Congressional appropriations, and expects to select a
COE team within fiscal year 2013. The technical focus of this COE will include, but not
be limited to: alternative jet fuels, noise, emissions, their environmental and welfare
impacts, and efficiency.
