• University Leadership Initiative (ULI2) provides the opportunity for university teams to exercise technical and organizational leadership in proposing unique technical challenges in aeronautics, defining multi-disciplinary solutions, establishing peer review mechanisms, and applying innovative teaming strategies to strengthen the research impact. Research proposals are sought in six ULI topic areas in Appendix D.4.
• This NRA will utilize a two-step proposal submission and evaluation process. The initial step is a short mandatory Step-A proposal due June 26, 2025. Those offerors submitting the most highly rated Step-A proposals will be invited to submit a Step-B proposal. All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES at https://nspires.nasaprs.com.

• The solicitation erroneously includes a statement on page 3 (section D.4.3.1), "To promote ULI portfolio balance, the UI Project is interested in Topic 2 (Innovation in Commercial High-Speed Aircraft) proposals for High-Speed Commercial Vehicles". The Topic 2 (Thrust 2) narrative in the NASA ARMD Strategic Implementation Plan is unchanged this year and no emphasis towards it was intended to be made in this solicitation.
• The ROA-2024 NNH24ZEA001N-ULI2 NOFO Solicitation is still active. Step-A proposals are still due June 26th. Any change in status will be announced here. University Innovation looks forward to receiving your proposals and evaluating them.
