The Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) is a grant program supporting basic research in science and engineering at U.S. universities of interest to the DoD. The program, sponsored by DoD research offices such as the Army Research Office (ARO), encourages multidisciplinary research efforts for rapid scientific advances aligned with DoD’s needs. Basic research in various fields related to national security is the focus, emphasizing the importance of fundamental knowledge without immediate application. The DoD invests broadly in research to stay informed of new scientific developments. Application deadline: February 23, 2015.

| Description: | The DoD Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI), one element of the University Research Initiative (URI), is sponsored by the DoD research offices: the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) (hereafter collectively referred to as “DoD agencies”).The MURI program supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. institutions of higher education (hereafter referred to as “universities”) that is of potential interest to DoD. The program is focused on multidisciplinary research efforts where more than one traditional discipline interacts to provide rapid advances in scientific areas of interest to the DoD. As defined by the DoD, basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It is farsighted high payoff research that provides the basis for technological progress. (DoD 7000.14.R, vol. 2B, chap.5). DoDs basic research program invests broadly in many specific fields to ensure that it has early cognizance of new scientific knowledge |
