Basic Research Initiatives
Abstract
The Basic Research Initiatives project, P010, includes Strategic Support for Basic Research (SSBR) and the Minerva Research Initiative. SSBR supports oversight, policies, and initiatives to create conditions that allow defense basic research investments to producing high-payoff, transformative scientific breakthroughs for the Department. SSBR initiatives support the five Basic Research Office strategic goals: (1) support the 10 modernization priorities; (2) coordinate and conduct oversight of DoD basic research programs; (3) improve the science and engineering workforce and public outreach; (4) enhance university-industry collaboration; and (5) engage with the academic research community and international partners. The Minerva Research Initiative, a Department of Defense basic research program in the social sciences directed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), funded in partnership with Air Force and Navy University Research Initiatives and executed by the Office of Naval Research and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, seeks to build a fundamental understanding of the sources of present and future conflict.
