Continuing Human Enabling Enhancing Restoring and Sustaining
Funds Air Force human-performance research, but only through the two grant-eligible solicitations sitting beneath this umbrella notice.
The Air Force Research Laboratory's Human Effectiveness Directorate and its School of Aerospace Medicine run a standing, multi-year plan for turning early human-performance research into fielded capability. This notice is the umbrella document that plan sits under.
It is not itself a place to submit anything. Three "open periods" hang off it, each its own solicitation with its own legal authority…
A standing, multi-year Air Force Research Laboratory strategy covering Human Effectiveness Directorate and School of Aerospace Medicine science and technology work, from basic research through technology maturation and transition, carried out through separate open-period solicitations rather than through this notice directly.
