Basic Research Initiatives
Abstract
The Basic Research Initiatives Project supports oversight of basic research throughout the Department, as well as initiatives and pilot programs, in order to create conditions for defense basic research investments to produce high-payoff, transformative scientific breakthroughs for the Department. The project supports the five Basic Research Office (BRO) strategic goals: (1) support the modernization priorities set by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD); (2) coordinate and conduct oversight of DoD-wide basic research programs; (3) improve the science and engineering workforce and public outreach; (4) enhance university-industry and university-government collaboration; and (5) engage with the academic research community and international partners. This Project includes Strategic Support for Basic Research (SSBR), which sustains the operations of the BRO and creates conditions for research policies and initiatives to be formulated and instantiated. It also includes several pilot programs and initiatives, including international research collaboration, and cross-agency joint programs.
