University Research Initiatives
Abstract
This program supports defense-related basic research in a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines pertinent to maintaining U.S. military technology superiority; enhances and promotes the education of U.S. scientists and engineers in disciplines critical to maintaining, advancing, and enabling future U.S. defense technologies; and assists universities in establishing superior instrumentation capabilities needed to improve the quality of defense-related research and education. A fundamental component of this program is the recognition that future technologies and technology exploitations require highly coordinated and concerted multi- and interdisciplinary efforts. This program is in Budget Activity 1, Basic Science, because it funds scientific study and experimentation.
