The Fiscal Year 2022 Air Force Young Investigator Research Program (YIP) intends to support young in career scientists and engineers who have received Ph.D. or equivalent degrees by 1 April 2015 or later showing exceptional ability and promise for conducting basic research. The program objective is to foster creative basic research in science and engineering; enhance early career development of outstanding young investigators; and increase opportunities for the young investigator to recognize the Air Force mission and related challenges in science and engineering.

The Air Force Young Investigator Research Program (YIP) seeks unclassified proposals from qualified and responsible applicants in the research areas of interest identified in the most recent Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA9550-19-S-0003  titled “Research Interests of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research” published on Grants.gov at    https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=314753
