RTX University Research Program

Research Development Opportunity Kickoff events are introductions to specific funding opportunities or resources that enhance application competitiveness. Introductions provide an overview of requirements, advice and lessons learned from experienced faculty, and a chance to network with others. Sponsored by KE Research Development.

The RTX University Research Program provides funding for academic research that corresponds to the technical needs of RTX and its three industry-leading businesses: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. These projects help to strengthen and extend RTX’s collaborative research relationships with select university partners, and RTX has a long history of collaborating with universities to accelerate the development of differentiating aerospace and defense technologies. For applications chosen for funding, an RTX subject-matter expert will help to advise the project.

ASU has been chosen to receive at at least one specific technology Request for Information (RFI), please see the listed topics below: 

• Autonomy
• Intelligent Aviation

RTX is limiting each university to five total applications per RFI. To secure one of these spots, you will need to complete the limited submission process at ASU to be considered. Limited submission applications will be submitted via an InfoReady platform.
