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 $1M. 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. FY 2011 program decreases to allow for an increase in the MURI and PECASE programs to accommodate OSD directed initiatives. FY 2012 program increases to allow for an increased number of grants in the DURIP program. In past years, more outstanding proposals have been received than could be funded.
