University Research Initiatives
Abstract
This project includes support for multidisciplinary basic research in a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines that are important for maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. Navy, and for university research infrastructure to acquire instrumentation needed to maintain and improve the quality of university research important to the Navy. MURI efforts involve teams of researchers investigating high priority topics that intersect more than one traditional technical discipline. For many military problems this multidisciplinary approach serves to stimulate innovation, accelerate research progress, and expedite transition of results into Naval applications. The DURIP project supports university research infrastructure essential to high quality, Navy-relevant research. The instrumentation project complements other Navy research programs by supporting the purchase of high cost research instrumentation that is necessary to carry out cutting-edge research. The PECASE project supports single-investigator research efforts performed by outstanding academic scientists and engineers early in their research careers. This project provides the knowledge base, scientific concepts, and technological advances for the maintenance of Naval power and national security.
