• Current and previous AFOSR organizations were structured around number of SES positions - Not organized to optimize Science Mission, Organized to
justify SES positions - Organization becomes series of stovepipes and
opportunistic engagements • Current fiscal and scientific environment demands a
change - Organization must be more collaborative and responsive - Scientific Community is changing how they execute
research, we need to evolve from current structure
AFOSR Reorganization
Desired End State: A coherent, collaborative, 6.1 AF organization leading the way to tomorrow’s technologies

• Maintain strong 6.1 focus and improve scientific quality across AFOSR – Maintain semi-autonomy for program managers as subject experts – Enhance responsiveness to rapidly changing scientific environment
• Improve the ability to collaborate across all AFOSR portfolios
• Improve the ability to collaborate across the International Enterprise
Goals of Reorganization
Two program manager committees were formed with a focus on RSXs –

Summary
• The White House and DoD strongly supports the basic research program
• AF basic research:
– Probes today’s technology limits and ultimately leads to future technologies
– Creates knowledgeable workforce in fields of critical AF interest
• AF basic research investments are fully coordinated and leveraging opportunities are exploited for innovation
“Innovation also demands basic research. Today, the discoveries taking place in our federally-
financed labs and universities could lead to … New lightweight vests for cops and soldiers that can stop any bullet. Don't gut these investments in our budget. Support the same kind of research and innovation that led to the computer chip and the Internet.” - President Obama, State of Union Speech, 24 January 2012
