## 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.

### Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP)

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** FY27 decrease of $16.189M due to reductions in DURIP investments for alignment to Navy strategic goals within the S&T portfolio for Naval prioritization of Future Naval Capabilities and Technology Candidates.

**FY2026 plans — current year.** - Completed funding awards to support purchase or development of instrumentation to enhance ONR basic research efforts across the S&T spectrum, to include workforce development of students and postdoctoral fellows.

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
