The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering the Basic Research Challenge (BRC) Program to fund new, high-risk basic science and engineering research projects. This grant is specifically designed to stimulate innovative work within academia and industry, falling under Budget Activity 1 (Basic Research). ONR emphasizes that work funded as “contracted fundamental research” will have no restrictions on conduct or reporting for unclassified research, adhering to National Security Decision Directive 189. While the broader BAA may cover applied research or advanced technology development, this BRC program exclusively targets fundamental basic research. Awards are typically made through grants for universities and contracts for industry, ensuring open dissemination of unclassified results.

| Description: | The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for the BRC Program, which supports basic science and or engineering research within academia and industry. The program is focused on stimulating new, high-risk basic research projects. Work funded under a BAA may include basic research, applied research and some advanced technology development (ATD). With regard to any restrictions on the conduct or outcome of work funded under this BAA, ONR will follow the guidance on and definition of “contracted fundamental research” as provided in the Under Secretary of Defense (USD) Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) Memorandum of 26 June 2008. As defined therein, the definition of “contracted fundamental research”, in a Department of Defense (DoD) contractual context, includes [research performed under] grants and contracts that are (a) funded by Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Budget Activity 1 (Basic Research), whether performed by universities or industry or (b) funded by Budget Activity 2 (Applied Research) and performed on campus at a university or by industry. ATD is funded through Budget Activity 3 (Advanced Development). In conformance with the USD (AT&L) guidance and National Security Decision Directive 189, ONR will place no restriction on the conduct or reporting of unclassified fundamental research, except as otherwise required by statute, regulation or Executive Order. Normally, fundamental research is awarded under grants with universities and under contracts with industry. ATD is normally awarded under contracts and may require restrictions during the conduct of the research and DoD pre-publication review of research results due to subject matter sensitivity. As regards to the present BAA, the Research and Development efforts to be funded will consist of basic research. The funds available to support awards are Budget Activity 1. |
