Project detail
What project 1100 buys
Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) funds are awarded to universities to purchase high- cost research instrumentation that is normally not provided for in single-investigator research grants. Individual grants may range from $50K to $3.0M. Proposals for DURIP awards are submitted to the Services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force) in response to a public Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Proposals received by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) are reviewed and all valid proposals received are prioritized. The Office of the Secretary of War (OSW) reviews, selects and announces all Department of War (DoW) awardees. Universities awarded grants are required to purchase the instrumentation and take delivery before any billing occurs. DURIP awards provide one-year funding. The DURIP proposal and award cycle is required to be completed within one fiscal year.

Project detail
What project 1101 buys
The Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) project is a Department of War (DoW) coordinated effort that supports high priority pure research topics. Each MURI topic is a five-year research grant addressing a challenging multidisciplinary scientific problem. MURI topics require collaboration among academic experts across disciplines from two or more universities to explore solutions to these cross-Service research challenges. The Office of the Undersecretary of War (OUSW) calls for new research topics annually, provides topic guidance, and approves new topics from each of the DoW Services. Office of Naval Research (ONR) MURI topics are selected based on Naval Science and Technology (S&T) priorities. Proposals for MURI research topics are submitted in response to a public Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) and all valid research proposals are evaluated by teams of technical experts. The Office of the Secretary of War (OSW) reviews all award nominations and announces selected awardees. Only US Universities and Research Institutions are eligible performers and the funding is provided through research grants. MURI projects make significant contributions to Navy and Department of War (DOw) objectives by accelerating research results through multi-university collaboration, a cross-fertilization of ideas, concepts and research approaches pursued. This collaborative research environment nurtured hastens the maturation of basic research concepts to applied applications and through the training of students in cross-disciplinary approaches to science and engineering research topics of priority interest to DoW.

Presidential Early Career Awards (PECASE) awards are highly competitive research awards made to academic scientists early in their research careers. PECASE awards are extremely prestigious, single-investigator research awards in areas of vital importance to the Department of the Navy. These research awards, made to the very best early career scientists and engineers, provide award recipients national recognition and research grants of up to $200K per year for five years. The Office of the Secretary of War (OSW) has policy and oversight responsibility for the PECASE program. ONR award nominations are reviewed by ONR, the Office of the Undersecretary of War (OUSW), and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) prior to approval and announcement.
