Opportunity Summary:
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is a U.S. Department of Defense grant competition that helps accredited U.S. colleges and universities strengthen their research capabilities by buying major scientific equipment and instrumentation. The core purpose is practical: give universities the tools they need to conduct cutting-edge research and to train scientists and engineers in fields that matter to national defense. DURIP is focused on capital equipment purchases rather than funding an entire research project, and it is specifically aimed at items that are typically too expensive to be covered by standard single-investigator research awards.
This opportunity supports research areas aligned with DoD priorities, particularly those commonly funded through the Army Research Office (ARO), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). While the program is announced by DoD, individual awards are administered through these services, and proposals are expected to connect the requested equipment directly to defense-relevant research programs and the research community that will use the instrument. In other words, applicants are not just asking to buy an instrument; they are making the case that the instrument will measurably improve research capacity and education outcomes in fields important to the DoD.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education (public, state-controlled, and private universities). For-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible for DURIP funding. The program is part of the broader University Research Initiative (URI), reflecting DoD’s long-term strategy of maintaining a strong university-based research ecosystem that can contribute to future defense needs.
Funding is intended for the acquisition of research equipment or instrumentation costing $50,000 or more. The stated maximum (award ceiling) is generally $1,500,000 in DoD funding per award, with exceptions possible only if the proposal qualifies under special circumstances. Awards are typically one year in length, reflecting the expectation that funds are used primarily to purchase, receive, and install equipment rather than to support multi-year research activities. For this FY2017 competition, DoD indicated an intent to make about $47 million in total awards, subject to available funds, with an estimated 150 awards.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov; paper applications are not accepted and paper copies of the announcement are not provided. The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, under CFDA number 12.800. For the specific posting referenced, the funding opportunity number is PA AFRL AFOSR 2016 0001, the posting date was March 9, 2016, and the application deadline was August 26, 2016.
