The Department of Transportation: ATC Simulation

The department of Transportation- Federal Aviation Administration Research Grants is the funding agency for
this grant. The FAA encourages the submission of proposals that embrace the entire spectrum of physical,
chemical, biological, medical, psychological, mathematical, and engineering sciences. The following list
illustrates topics of interest to those who may consider applying for a grant under this funding opportunity:
Capacity and Air Traffic Control Technology, Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance. Aviation Weather,
Airports, Aircraft Safety Technology, Human Factors and Aviation Medicine, Systems Science/Operations
Research, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM), Class E Upper Airspace
Traffic Management (ETM), and Urban Air Mobility (UAM). In general, award size ranges from several
thousand to several million dollars. I would propose a project that would allow aviators to research bias and
defects in ATC simulation technology development to identify the common failure to understand a diverse set
of voices (Female voices, people with accents, etc.) and create a voice recognition software that would be able
to maximize training quality for at least 90% of the workforce.

highlight something like the response to human rights issues such as respect for diversity and inclusion to
include and how our nations cooperate on education of this topic.

The hosting agency is the Federal Aviation Administration. As required by Federal public transportation law,
funds will be awarded competitively for any purpose eligible under FTA’s Formula Grants for Rural Areas
Program, including planning, capital, and operating assistance for tribal public transit services in rural areas.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announces the opportunity to apply for $8.75 million in competitive
grants for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Public Transportation on Indian Reservations (Tribal Transit) Program. I
