Opportunity Information: Apply for N0001424SF001
The FY25 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is a Department of Defense equipment grant competition that helps U.S. universities buy major research instrumentation and equipment that will strengthen defense-relevant research capabilities. The program is run through the DoD science and technology research enterprise, with proposals administered through one of three service research offices depending on topic fit: the Army Research Office (ARO), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), or the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). The core idea is straightforward: DURIP funds the purchase of equipment that enables or significantly improves research in areas the DoD cares about, and it is specifically intended to enhance hands-on, research-based education for students working in fields tied to DoD missions.
A key requirement is that proposals must go beyond listing an instrument and its technical specifications. Applicants are expected to clearly explain how the requested equipment will measurably increase the institution's capacity to conduct research and, importantly, how it will improve student education through research. In practice, that means describing how students (undergraduate, graduate, and sometimes postdoctoral researchers) will gain training, access, and experience on the instrument as part of defense-relevant research projects, and how that experience supports workforce development in science, math, and engineering disciplines aligned with DoD priorities.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the science and technology / research and development area (CFDA 12.300). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity is associated with the Office of Naval Research as the issuing agency in the listing. While the announcement emphasizes purchasing equipment and instrumentation (rather than funding general research labor or broad programmatic costs), the equipment must be justified as enabling research aligned with ARO, ONR, or AFOSR interest areas. In other words, DURIP is best understood as a research infrastructure investment that is tightly linked to active or planned DoD-relevant research and training outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to accredited U.S. institutions of higher education that offer degree programs in science, mathematics, and/or engineering. Both public/state-controlled universities and private non-profit universities are eligible, but for-profit educational institutions are excluded. University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) are eligible to apply, while Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are not eligible under this competition.
From the source details provided, the Funding Opportunity Number is N0001424SF001, the opportunity was created on 2023-11-09, and the original closing date listed is 2024-02-16. The award ceiling shown is $3,000,000. The notice also indicates "ExpectedAwards:" but does not provide a number in the supplied text. For anyone preparing an application, the full announcement text (referenced in the posting) is important because DURIP solicitations typically include specifics on allowable costs, submission structure, evaluation criteria, and any required alignment statements for the administering agency (ARO, ONR, or AFOSR) that would handle the proposal.Apply for N0001424SF001
