DEFENSE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTRUMENTATION PROGRAM (DURIP)
Abstract
DURIP funds are provided to universities to purchase relatively high cost research instrumentation that is normally not included in single-investigator type research grants. Individual grants range from $50K to $1.5M. The DURIP program is an Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) interest item and OSD directs that funding for the DURIP efforts be awarded after OSD announces the awardees, which typically takes place towards the second half of the fiscal year. In turn, universities need to purchase the instrumentation and take delivery before any billings are generated. It frequently takes several months for delivery and billing to be completed. DURIP is a one year program. The increase of funds from FY 2014 to FY 2015 is for the growth in research programs needing instrumentation.
