Fiscal Year 2021 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP)

The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the Fiscal Year 2021 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP). DURIP is designed to improve the capabilities of accredited United States (U.S.) institutions of higher education to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in areas important to national defense, by providing funds for the acquisition of research equipment or instrumentation. Key aspects of the program include: * Eligible applicants are accredited U.S. institutions of higher education with degree-granting programs in science, mathematics, and/or engineering. * Proposals should address the impact of the equipment or instrumentation on the institution's ability to educate students through research in disciplines important to DoD missions. * Awards are typically one year in length, and the award value is between $50,000 and $1,500,000. * Proposals will be evaluated based on the potential to enhance the institution's ability to educate future scientists and engineers through research conducted with the proposed equipment in disciplines important to DoD missions.
