The Department of Defense offers the Multidisciplinary Research Program Grant as part of the University Research Initiative. Sponsored by DoD research offices, the program supports basic research at U.S. universities in science and engineering fields relevant to national security interests. Emphasizing multidisciplinary efforts, the grant aims to facilitate rapid advancements through collaboration across traditional disciplines. The research is focused on increasing fundamental knowledge without specific applications in mind, ultimately contributing to technological progress. Applications are open until February 23, 2015, providing an opportunity for institutions of higher education to contribute to long-term national security needs.

| 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. |
