What project 613004 buys
The major efforts in the Science Alliances and Talent Development for DAF Superiority Project are to facilitate interactions between the international and domestic research communities and Department of the Air Force researchers, and to develop scientists and engineers with an awareness of Department of the Air Force basic research priorities. These professional interactions and collaborations benefit the Department of the Air Force by increasing awareness of basic research priorities in the research community as a whole and attracting talented scientists and engineers to address Department of the Air Force needs. International interactions foster relationships with scientific partners and leverage international expertise in nascent scientific developments. This project also seeks to enhance interactions with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and other institutions, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4144, Research and Educational Programs and Activities: Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-serving Institutions of Higher Education.

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describe FY2027 work in enough detail to have their own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
