The Department of Defense (DoD) is offering its Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI) grant. This grant supports fundamental science and engineering research at U.S. universities, focusing on multidisciplinary efforts pertinent to DoD interests and long-term national security needs. The MURI program invests in basic research to advance knowledge in physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences. The FY 2011 competition addresses 25 specified topics. Specifically, proposals for topics 18-25, including areas like Quantum Stochastics and Control, Flex-Activated Materials, and Game Theory for Adversarial Behavior, should be submitted to the Army Research Office. Innovative approaches are highly encouraged to achieve program goals.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This MURI competition is open only to and full proposals are to be submitted only by, U.S. institutions of higher education (universities) including DoD institutions of higher education, with degree-granting programs in science and/or engineering. When a modest amount of additional funding for an ineligible organization is necessary to make the proposed collaboration possible, such funds may be requested via a separate proposal from that organization. This supplemental proposal should be attached to the primary MURI proposal and will be evaluated separately by the responsible Research Topic Chief. If approved, the supplemental proposal will be funded by the responsible agency using non-MURI funds. Since it is not certain that non-MURI funding would be available for ineligible organizations, Principal Investigators are encouraged to restrict funding requests to eligible organizations when practical. Ineligible organizations (e.g., industry, DoD laboratories, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and foreign universities) may collaborate on the research but may not receive MURI funds, directly or via subaward. |

| Description: | The MURI program supports basic science and/or engineering research 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 that intersect more than one traditional science and engineering discipline to address scientific issues 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. (http://comptroller.defense.gov/fmr/02b/02b_05.pdf). The DoDs basic research program invests broadly in many specific fields to ensure that it has early cognizance of new scientific knowledge. The FY 2011 MURI competition is for the 25 topics listed in the BAA. Detailed descriptions of the topics can be found in Section VIII entitled, Specific MURI Topics, of the BAA. The detailed descriptions are intended to provide the proposer a frame of reference and are not meant to be restrictive to the possible approaches to achieving the goals of the topic and the program. Innovative ideas addressing these research topics are highly encouraged. White papers and full proposals addressing the following topics ((18 through (25) should be submitted to the Army Research Office (ARO): (18) Controlling the Abiotic/Biotic Interface; (19) Quantum Stochastics and Control; (20) Qubit Enabled Imaging, Sensing & Metrology (QuISM); (21) Flex-Activated Materials; (22) Game Theory for Adversarial Behavior; (23) Light filamentation; (24) Novel Free-Standing 2D Crystalline Materials (Oxides/Nitrides); (25) Value of Information for Distributed Data Fusion. |
