The Institute for Information Technology
Applications (IITA), located at the Air Force Academy, offers grants
to researchers from all disciplines to conduct research in leading
edge information technologies. The IITA is interested in matching
Air Force Reserve expertise with project requirements to complement
IITA's active duty research initiatives. Research opportunities are
open to all categories of reservists. The IITA can also temporarily
assign reservists to IITA in a Category E, Individual Mobilization
Augmentee (IMA) status. (http://arpc.afrc.af.mil)
The IITA has a limited Man-Day budget to support research and travel
(AFI 36-2619). Estimated Man-Day
requirements should be included in the budget section of the
proposal. Once approved, anAF Form 49
must be submitted to the Director of Reserve
Research, Lt Col
Freddie Rodriguez, for fund cite validation. The Form
49 will then be entered into CMAS; orders will be cut at the reservist's unit of assignment.
Lt
Col Freddie Rodriguez is the certifying official. In addition,
telecommuting is an authorized means of conducting research when
appropriate (AFI 36-8002). A telecommuting contract
will be drafted by the researcher and approved by the Director of
Reserve Research.
