University Research Initiatives
Abstract
The objective of this program element (PE) is to support Army basic research efforts in the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program, the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) and the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) program by funding basic research in a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines pertinent to maintaining the U.S. land combat technology superiority. Army MURI program efforts involve teams of researchers investigating high-priority, transformational topics that intersect more than one traditional technical discipline (e.g., Intelligent Luminescence for Communication, Display, and Identification). For many complex problems, this multidisciplinary approach serves to accelerate research progress and expedite transition of results to application. The DURIP provides funds to acquire major research equipment to augment current, or devise new, research capabilities in support of Army transformational research. The PECASE program funds single-investigator research efforts performed by outstanding academic scientists and engineers early in their independent research careers. The cited work is consistent with the Department of Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Basic Research Plan, the Army Science and Technology Master Plan, and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work on this project is performed extramurally by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Research Triangle Park, NC. Projects D58 and D66 fund Congressional interest items.
