Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
This Program Element (PE) provides funding for the essential corporate expenses that form the foundational support structure for the Office of Naval Research (ONR). These costs, the vast majority of which are fixed, include salaries for the world-class scientists and engineers who lead our S&T programs, as well as critical operational expenses such as Information Technology (IT), cyber security efforts, Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) billings, and day-to-day logistical support. This investment is not merely overhead but a direct enabler of ONR's core mission to discover, develop, and transition innovative science and technology.

This project supports ONR leadership, management and direction for the Naval S&T program. This project funds ONR HQ Non-Management Headquarters Activities (Non-MHA) salaries, communications, and other fixed costs. ONR sponsors scientific advances, which lead to Future Naval Capabilities (FNCs), supporting the Fleet's ability to operate from a position of technological superiority. Functions performed include (1) scientific and technical direction of the nationwide 6.1 basic research program with colleges, universities, non-profit organizations and Naval Laboratories and Warfare Centers; (2) scientific and technical direction of the 6.2 applied research program through the Naval R&D laboratories and Warfare Centers and industry; (3) scientific and technical direction of the Naval 6.3 advanced technology development program through the Navy's R&D laboratories, Warfare Centers and industry; (4) management, resource formulation, program assessment, and contract negotiation/administration of the Navy basic research, applied research and advanced technology development program; and (5) coordination of the Navy's Technology Base program within the context of total DoW/Government (e.g., National Science Foundation, National Academy of Sciences) R&D initiatives in order to maximize scientific advances. This project also supports ONR Non-MHA management and direction for the following Navy-wide programs: Small Business Innovation Research, Naval Research Advisory Committee, Navy Patent Program, Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions Program, Navy Manufacturing Technology Program and the Ballistic Missile Submarine Nuclear (SSBN) Security Technology Program. Additionally, this project funds ONR field salaries, communications, and other fixed costs.
