DEFENSE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTRUMENTATION PROGRAM (DURIP) by DoD

To assess risk posed by applicants, we review your application, proposal, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) designated repositories of government-wide public and non-public data, including comments you have made, as required by 31 U.S.C. 3321 and 41 U.S.C. 2313 and described in 2 CFR 200.205 and 32 CFR 22.410 to confirm you are qualified, responsible, and eligible to receive an award.

DoD interests include the 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 generally referred to collectively as “we, our, us, or administering agency.” We use “administering agency” to provide a generic reference to any of the administering agencies.

A central purpose of the DURIP is to provide equipment and instrumentation to enhance research-related education in areas of interest and priority to the DoD. Therefore, your proposal must address the impact of the equipment or instrumentation on your institution’s ability to educate students through research in disciplines important to DoD missions.

Our areas of research interest are published at the following internet locations:

Army Research Office http://www.aro.army.mil
Office of Naval Research http://www.onr.navy.mil/
Air Force Office of Scientific Research http://www.wpafb.af.mil/afrl/afosr/

You must refer to the websites cited above for detailed technical information and our technical goals. We encourage you to contact the Program Managers listed in the cited announcements before submitting proposals to explore research areas of mutual interest to you and us.

You may submit a single DURIP proposal to more than one administering agency; however, only one administering agency will fund it, if selected. There is no limit on the total number of different proposals you can submit. There is no limit to the number of awards a single applicant organization can receive under this competition. We discuss this again in sections C.3.b and D.2.g. Submission to Multiple Administering Agencies.

We reserve the right to select and fund for award all, some, part, or none of the proposals received. There is no guarantee of an award. The authority for DURIP awards is 10 U.S.C. 2358 in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 6304.
