Young Faculty Award Services

The United States Government seeks vendors to provide Young Faculty Award (YFA) services for its authority in Washington, DC. The YFA program aims to identify and engage rising stars in junior research positions in academia and non-profit research institutions by providing high-impact funding to develop innovative research that enables transformative capabilities. Eligible applicants are limited to onshore, United States organizations. Proposers must submit a mandatory Technical and Management Volume that addresses a full 36-month program consisting of a base and option period, alongside a one-slide PowerPoint summary attached as a separate file. The technical proposal must not exceed eight pages, must be formatted for standard paper with one-inch margins and 12-point font, and must be submitted offsite in PDF, ODX, DOC, or DOCX formats. While applicants must submit a cost proposal, the text does not state a specific budget ceiling, proposal deadlines, question deadlines, or detailed evaluation criteria.
