American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
AIAA provides funding for research. On their website, the latest funding opportunity is a partnership between the US Air Force and “Academic Institutions” for nanoscience/nanoengineering research.
From their website:
“The Charter of the Sensor Systems Technical Committee (SENTC) is to foster the research, development, manufacturing, application, and operation of advanced sensor systems and sensor technologies throughout the aerospace community. The committee promotes the advancement of sensor systems by facilitating information exchange (via technical correspondence and conferences), and by providing informed positions on emerging sensor system issues. Sensor Systems technologies are broadly defined to include sensor-based systems utilized for (1) acquisition and interpretation of remote sensing or in-situ measured imagery or other data forms; (2) in-flight measurement and definition of physical phenomena associated with on-board and external environmental conditions necessary to navigate, orient, position, and control the vehicle and provide information about health and safety of the passengers, crew, and vehicle; (3) measurement and definition of physical, electromagnetic, chemical, biological or other related data characterizing terrestrial, oceanographic, atmospheric, interplanetary, and deep space phenomena and effects; (4) detection, recognition, and tracking of moving objects in the atmosphere or space from ground-based stations and airborne or space borne platforms. The Sensor Systems technologies include also applications of photonics, nanotechnology, and advanced micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices as primary sensors in the Sensor Systems defined above and in other related technology areas. “
