AFOSR/IO offers several personnel exchange programs to connect USAF Scientists and Engineers (S&Es) to counterpart\, non-government researchers. As program manager and coordinator for three ION programs\, I will summarize scope and requirements on the three Progra ms.\n\n“Windows on Science\,” or WOS\, is the most familiar program to AF S&Es and the most popular amongst them. WOS is a tool to provide direc t contact between S&Es and distinguished foreign national researchers by p roviding travel support to that counterpart talent. The WOS program facili tates hundreds of technical exchanges. WOS PIs have been from both renowne d and less known academic and other non-governmental institutes. WOS has c onsistently targeted subject matter expertise\, tailored visits to meet co re mission needs\, informed stakeholders\, augmented inhouse research\, an d leveraged foreign talent to benefit DAF in 6.1\, 6.2 and beyond.\n\nNext is the “Window On World” or WOW Program: WOW has been the program of choice to provide unique international opportunities for outstanding USAF S&Es to conduct full-time research alongside prominent foreign researchers \, OCONUS\, at non-governmental institutes. Unsurpassed as a workforce dev elopment tool\, WOW projects often include use of experimental laboratory facilities unavailable at the S&E’s home organization. WOW is used to tr ansition skills and knowledge from foreign sites to the inhouse efforts at home organizations while creating and deepening relationships between USA F S&Es and international counterparts which endure beyond the in situ tenu re of the WOW project and visit itself. Each year WOW yields work of natio nal significance. WOW projects can range from 21 days to no more than 179 days. AFOSR pays all TDY costs\, while the AF S&E’s home organization co ntinues to pay all other costs. Upon completion of the TDY the AF S&E retu rns to her/his home organization.\n\nIn addition to WOW\, ION offers the “Visiting Scientist Program (VSP).” WOW and VSP mirror each other in d escription\, scope\, and requirements. Where WOW is OCONUS\, VSP is CONUS. VSP provides opportunities for outstanding Air Force scientists and engin eers (AF S&Es) to conduct full-time research at a CONUS non-government lab oratory or institute. Like WOW\, the duration of a VSP visit ranges from n o less than 21 days to no more than 179 days. AFOSR pays all TDY costs\, w hile the AF S&E’s home organization continues to pay all other costs. Up on completion of the TDY the AF S&E returns to her/his home organization.\ n\nCo-sponsored by: Wright-Patt Multi-Intelligence Development Consortium (WPMDC)\, The DOD & DOE Communities\n\nSpeaker(s): Joanne Maurice\, \n\nAg enda: \nAFOSR/ION\, Arlington\, VA\, is the North American arm of AFOSR’ s International Office (IO).
