Summary
This program supports university research infrastructure essential to high-quality Navy relevant research. It is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as “universities”) to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in areas important to national defense, by providing funds for the acquisition of research equipment.
This program seeks proposals to purchase instrumentation in support of research in areas of interest to the DoD, including areas of research supported by the Army Research Office (ARO), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), hereafter referred to collectively as “the administering agencies.” The research areas of interest to the administering agencies are available for reference on-line at the following addresses:
- Army Research Office: http://www.aro.army.mil/ (select “Business” and then “Broad Agency Announcements”) See the most recent ARO Core Broad Agency Announcement for Basic and Applied Scientific Research.
- Office of Naval Research: http://www.onr.navy.mil/ (select "Contracts and Grants" and then "Broad Agency Announcements") See Long Range Broad Agency Announcement for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology, BAA ONRBAA14-001. After 30 Sep 2014, please use the FY15 Long Range Broad Agency Announcement for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology, BAA ONRBAA15-001.
- Air Force Office of Scientific Research: See BAA AFOSR-2014-0001 Research Interests of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research available at http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search grants.html?keywords=BAA-AFOSR-2014-0001.
History of Funding
For information regarding previous recipients of this award, please see: http://www.defense.gov/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=16723
Additional Information
Funds provided under DURIP may not be used for the construction or modification of buildings, building support systems (e.g., heating/ventilation/air conditioning, plumbing and electrical), or fixed equipment (e.g., clean rooms and fume hoods). Proposed budgets can include costs (e.g., machine shop expenses) for constructing, assembling and/or installing equipment, but the budget may not request funding for salaries of faculty, postdoctoral associates or students. Costs for continued operation and maintenance are not eligible for consideration.
Sufficient funds are not available to meet all of the instrumentation needs of universities. Awards, therefore, will be made to universities conducting, or being demonstrably capable of conducting research (with the proposed new equipment) in areas of interest to the DoD.
Eligibility Details
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education with degree granting programs in science, math, or engineering.
Deadline Details
Applications must be submitted November 17, 2014, by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). Similar deadlines are anticipated annually.
Award Details
The estimated funding available for FY15 is $46,000,000. Grants will be for the purchase of research equipment costing $50,000 or more, which typically cannot be purchased within the budgets of single investigator awards. With few exceptions an individual award may not exceed $1,500,000 in DoD funding. Cost sharing/matching is not required.
